Thurs 26th Dec: Lovely Boxing Day surprises

It was a lucky day for Fanta
There were lovely surprises for us today in the shape of adoptions, the best present we could wish for at any time of the year. 

At Tai Po puppy Fanta was chosen, proving the point that while at Ap Lei Chau the older puppies are seen as being too old, at Tai Po they're correctly considered to be still babies.
Lovely Troy has a dog sister too!


Troy was also one of the ex-Ap Lei Chau older puppies, and although he had to wait longer than Fanta for his special day to arrive, it came eventually.

Thankfully a new foster stepped up to take the two babies that were suddenly returned to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, and at the same time Molly was picked up by her adopter.  He had taken advantage of our special holiday offer of "adopt now-take home later" meaning Molly actually had all adoption paperwork done earlier and just waited until her new family were ready to welcome their new puppy.
It was time for Molly to leave the Homing Centre

Molly's brother Aiden was our surprise adoption, as apart from anything else he's a shy puppy who always hid during the Whiskers N Paws afternoons.   Siblings in a litter can have very different personalities as well as looks, as you can see from this earlier photo of the four brothers and sisters.  A female can mate with more than one male during her fertile season so there can be more than one father in the same litter, as well as the genetic melting pot that makes up all mixed breeds.  That's what I love about the mixed breeds, they're not all the same and you can choose whatever size, colour or personality you want, like picking your favourite chocolate from an assortment box.   Dare to be different, and don't follow the "all the same" breed path.
Same family, different looks and personalities
Aiden's eyes are always like saucers
