Sat 28th Aug: Funny noses

Luke

 The two newborn puppies, both girls, arrived at Ap Lei Chau just in time to be picked up by their foster parent, thanks to Cindy as always for working hard to make sure this happens.  The slightly older puppy boy is now Luke, and also arrived but without his kitten friend, as the rescuer had decided to heep him.  Luke's nose looks as though it might have been injured at some point in his short life, but whatever happened it's healed and won't be a problem.

Sheldon's nose had been slashed with a knife

I mentioned Luke's nose because we took in another dog at Tai Po today who'd been deliberately attacked by someone with a knife who'd cut now-Sheldon's nose.  He was treated at a vet clinic and luckily the wound healed and he was brought to Tai Po, just as a potential adopter was there to meet the dogs and spotted Sheldon.  He's now scheduled to go to his new home next week. 

Sheldon, all better now

I completely forgot to share this yesterday, so I hope many of you noticed the post on our Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR)
 page anyway. “Nicky & Me” - An online fundraising talent show organised by a group of caring young students premiered on Saturday, and you can watch the show here : https://youtu.be/fzlD9yp3Clo

All donations will be going directly towards HKDR to help save lives!

 

Cricket

Sunday is, of course, puppy day at Whiskers N Paws
 2pm to 4pm, and if you're planning on being there to meet the puppies and to choose the one you're going to take home, please get there early. Cricket seems to be the popular girl at the moment and she's the last of little Candy's litter, and as has happened so many times before when it's the right time for a dog or puppy then it seems many people want them at the same time.

Sunday will also be the first time for the "M" puppies who've been in foster care since first coming to us.  Usually first-timers are a bit nervous as they've never left the home they've become familiar with, so I hope the rain holds off and the puppies can enjoy running around on the terrace.  Either way they'll all be there.
