Thurs 30th April: Another beautiful day for a holiday

Bella is supposed to be 2 years but acts like a puppy
It was already halfway through the day when I realised today was a holiday, every day being pretty much the same for me and especially now when there's no Sunday puppy afternoons to mark the end of the week.  I'm always busy replying to emails, and the adoption questionnaires in particular as they always have priority, although it's frustrating not having the smaller dogs and puppies that so many people ask about.  Still, with more than enough dogs at our Tai Po Homing Centre there's never the possibility that we'll run out, and we always have new recruits arriving.   Some of these, like the three most recent newcomers, are from AFCD, others direct surrenders, and you can meet them any day of the year from 10am to 6pm.  We open every single day without exception.
The 2 new boys


Puppy Cherry was almost adopted today, but following my advice regarding toddlers and sharp puppy teeth, the family chose Rosie from Tai Po instead.  Rosie has shown before that she loves young children, as some dogs really do,  while others find them upsetting.

Still waiting for their families


The weather in Hong Kong has been perfect for the past few days, and I know there's a large group of Tai Po dogs heading out for a holiday hike on Friday, 1st May, which is not only a Public Holiday again but also the 10th Anniversary of our move from the Pokfulam Kennels to our Tai Po Homing Centre.  I'll be writing more about that tomorrow, but I would love to hear from anyone who was there for the Big Move and their own memories of that day.
