| Little Pippa found her forever family |
It's been a strange kind of day with quite a few almost-adoptions but only one confirmed, and that was Pippa the poodle-terrier cross from our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre. We know there will be at least one large dog adoption coming up, and quite possibly more assuming things work out with other dogs in the potential homes, but at the same time we had a new arrival at Tai Po and not quite what we were expecting.

| Poor old Wallace |
I meet, or have comunications with, all sorts of people, and over the years there must have been thousands. Most are genuine and very nice, some horrible and a few genuinely need locking up, but I haven't encountered such a blatant liar before. The surrender request for this particular dog was completely made up, including the photo which showed a rather handsome face and not the poor thirteen year-old village dog that the man turned up with. The mother-in-law, whose dog it was, was being shunted off to a retirement home where she didn't want to go, at least while her long-term companion dog was still alive, so it was all very sad. We called the dog Wallace but he's not a happy boy and the whole situation made me angry and upset.

| Three of the new puppies, happy, healthy and handsome |
Sunday's coming up and we'll be at Whiskers N Paws for the afternoon and bringing along as many puppies as we can manage to fit in. Hopefully the weather will stay dry and the older puppies can enjoy a runaround on the terrace, one of the things I'm sure they'd look forward to if they were able to think ahead. The new intake will be there even though I haven't thought up names for them yet, so I'll have to do that before Sunday afternoon.
