| Ollie with his lucky adopters |
Some puppies are born lucky just by having a certain look, and little Ollie was one of them. So many potential adopters were asking about him, so when I write that he was chosen today I'm sure there's going to be a lot of broken hearts. He came to us (from AFCD) with two other pups, assumed siblings although they look nothing like Ollie, so maybe Omar and Odin will also get their chance to shine.
I could say the same about corgi Speedy breaking hearts because he was also a very popular choice for many potential adopters. I wrote about him yesterday and that he should be leaving today, and indeed he did.

| Funny lively Speedy |
It's been a particularly stressful week, not helped by the fact that three Lamma dogs have had health issues, with two of them needing urgent veterinary attention. One of them, Dusty, had been limping, but that suddenly turned into horrible open sores on her leg and she was sent to Concordia as an emergency case. It turned out she had a broken bone in her foreleg, not needing surgery or setting, but she is on pain relief and heavy duty antibiotics. The most serious case happened today when poodle Kobe suddenly had blood coming from his mouth and was in a state of collapse. Luckily Iris had come over for one of her regular visits so she was able to rush (if that's possible in a sampan) Kobe to Acorn where he was given a blood transfusion thanks to a very lucky donation of a bag of blood that was waiting for a dog that needed it. Kobe was brighter after the transfusion so I hope he'll be OK.
The third dog that isn't well is Rag, and he has an infected paw which he absolutely refuses to take any medication for. I'll have to see what I can do about that, but at this stage I think I can manage.
A total of forty eight dogs and puppies were adopted during September, a great result and thank you to all adopters, but again we took in far more than that, seventy three to be exact. Here are the lucky ones:
