| Riva (R) is having a try-out with ex-HKDR Clooney |
Although most of the dog activity I write about seems to revolve around the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre that doesn't mean nothing's going on at Tai Po, and several dogs have left recently for trials. Often people who take adults from Tai Po already have another dog who has to approve, or we need to see how the dog adapts to a new home and environment. The settling-in period for an adult is much long than for a puppy, and while initially puppies will cry at night they soon forget that they ever lived anywhere else.
We anticipate seeing quite a lot of the "Frostie Fosters" coming back later in the week as the cold snap ends, and these dogs will have the benefit of having been in a home environment where they will have shown how easily they adapted. The feedback has been very encouraging as well as helpful, as we can tell potential adopters about these particular dogs' behaviour and habits. Older dogs are usually very easy and don't demand much in terms of attention and training, and they can be trusted not to chew or destroy stuff in the home.

| Lola, such a cutie |
Going back to Ap Lei Chau, two dogs were adopted today. One was Lola, the fake French bulldog, and the other Herbie, a kind of terrier cross. I know a lot of potential adopters are really looking for younger dogs but as I keep saying, we usually have very little notice of any new arrivals so it's really a matter of wait and see.
Strange things are happening on social media and I have been blocked by Facebook for "violating Community Standards", which is strange as I haven't shared a single post. It does mean that I can't access any Facebook messages, which is normally something I do, or even post this blog meaning someone else will have to do it for me. Strange times indeed.
