Thurs 28th Feb: Pups and pugs

Scribble is now Maple

I was just in time to see watch puppy Scribble leaving the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre today, the first of the ex-breeder/hoarder litter to go to a new home and my first time to see them all.  They have been given a bath and are wagging their tails, so it can only be uphill from now.  They're very pretty pups of varying size, with some being really quite small and couple who will be medium.  What matters is that they're safe, because of course they can stay with us for as long as it takes.

The smaller pup will be a small adult

With all attention currently on these newcomers I don't want the many other adults and puppies to be forgotten, and I really want to mention adorable pug cross Twiggy again.  She was also from the same breeder/hoarder, and although she had to have one eye removed her general health and condition is really good now.  Just as importantly she's very funny, playful, affectionate and honestly I love her.  She's staying with the puppies rather than the other adults at the Homing Centre because, and probably for the first time in her life, she acts and thinks like a puppy.  It's always amazing how dogs manage to put their past behind them.  Waffle is another pug from the same terrible place, and she too is incredible in her zest for life and her playfulness.  You may have seen the lovely video of Waffle in her current foster home and playing with a golden retreiver, and she seems to get on well with bigger dogs.  If you are interested in these happy pug girls, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).

Waffle is young a very active for a pug

Typical Twiggy, such a clown

I went to visit the dogs at AFCD today but couldn't take any out as the van and I had separate missions so I'll be back on Friday.  I'm planning to get Ivory's brother (assumed) and hope they will be happy to see each other again.

I took Ivory from AFCD last October 

It's the end of another month and we'll be hoping for a good start to March at the two puppy afternoons this weekend, the first being Concordia Pet Care on Saturday.  The new pups will probably stay at the Homing Centre as we have many who are ahead of them in terms of timing.
