Fri 23rd Aug: Preparing for the weekend

It's going to be a busy weekend for me as there are adoption afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday, and the WeWork event also means having to take all the equipment along as well as the dogs.  As Foster Coordinator Cindy's stand-in for now, I've been trying to work out how many dogs and puppies we'll have there, and wondering how many of the new arrivals from Thursday will be suitable.

Older puppy Magic has been in foster for the past week

I took them all to Acorn today for their check-ups and vaccinations, and only one of them is really well and calm enough to handle the travel and the crowds (hopefully), and that's the one I called Whitey (guess what colour he is?)  The female that looks like a dachshund cross had recently been feeding puppies and is still full of milk, and it's horrible to wonder where her babies are and why she was taken from them.  One of the black poodles has scabies, which is very obvious, while the other isn't bad in terms of health but thin and too scared to attend any kind of event.

Fuzzy's just a small girl 

We did get two more new dogs today, one a gorgeous fuzzy girl who was originally dropped off at Tai Po but is really quite small so moved to Ap Lei Chau.  The other was found as a stray and without any microchip, and he's what can only be described as a tong bulldog, that's like a French bulldog but of the local Hong Kong variety.  His coat is like a typical short-coated mongrel but his size and build is French bulldog.  He's young a lovely and I feel pretty sure he won't be with us for long.

Funny little Humbug 

Apart from planning the weekend and hoping that the possible typhoon will stay away, the "Bohemian Pupsody" fundraiser is another item on my "to do" list, and that includes soliciting for auction prizes.  We have some amazing things already offered, including original artwork and incredible holidays.  A full list of everything that will be available in both the live and silent auctions will be published as soon as it's finalised and outside bids will be accepted.  Remember to buy tickets before the 1st of September to take advantage of the Earlybird offer!
