Sat 29th May: Happy and hot Saturday

Maya has been given a new chance at life

 It was a surprisingly busy day at our Tai Po Homing Centre today with recent surrenders Maya and Gyro being chosen, and puppies Ramen and Byron going for trials, coincidentally both with ex-HKDR German shepherds Jenna and Sadie respectively.   I forgot to mention that another puppy, Romeo, who had been taken for a trial with the resident dog also had his adoption confirmed, but you may have seen that on our Facebook page. 

Jet has left Whiskers N Paws for good

Puppy Jet was also picked up from Whiskers N Paws, with Alison going home as I write, so there will be two new store residents after the puppy afternoon on Sunday.  One of them will be Loopy, coming back from her foster home, unless of course she's adopted.

Coral and Salty 

I did a double-take on seeing photos of two of the Beach Babies, Coral and Salty, as they're an identical pair to another of this litter in a different foster home.  The sibling pair look nothing like each other though, and that's not at all uncommon as genetically there can be many in the final mix, not to mention that there can also be different fathers within one litter.

The matching pair are those nicknamed Elf and Twelvty, and you can see their photos on Instagram under why_i_foster.  You'll be amazed at how similar they are.

This is a very sick puppy

We had a late surrender at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre in the afternoon, a very cute puppy that had already been passed from one friend to another (this is so common it's really no surprise any more) and was brought to us after it was found to have the distemper virus. We sent the pup straight to ALCVC to be quarantined during assessment and possible treatment, so we'll have to see what Sunday brings in terms of any hope for survival.  

I'm late posting today so I'll keep this short, just with another reminder about the puppies going to Whiskers N Paws, and here they are (less Ramen of course).
