Thurs 29th Aug: A phone disaster and new dogs arriving

 I only realised that my phone was sitting at the bottom of the dogs' water bowl when I got up from the sofa to give them their night time medications, and there it was.  I had no idea how long it had been there but did my best to dry it out, relieved that the screen was still active and hoping that the swimming lesson had been a short one.  However the result the next morning was that although everything seemed to be working, the screen was frozen and I couldn't swipe to access anything, even though I could see and hear the notifications of new messages and updates coming in.  As of this morning (Friday), at first everything was back to normal for a while, but now it seems as though the phone has died completely.  I have a new phone, but I need help with setting it up because the confirmation codes are being sent to the old phone, so for now I'm basically out of contact unless sitting in front of my computer.

In the meantime we've had a lot of new dogs coming in, mostly small or small-medium, and some larger.  Starting with the smaller group, there are four K-Pups, with two of them being very young adults, a year at most, and only Kara being a bit older.

We took in another young adult from AFCD, a bichon girl who's now called Jilly, as well as a black pom girl, now Juniper.  She's an ex-breeder dog and is seven years old.

The two larger dogs were a beautiful black doglet, nine months old and now called Pashmina, as well as a female Doberman, four years.

Luckily another black female had been adopted the other day from our Tai Po Homing Centre, this being Pomelo, who some of you might remember. 

We have also been asked by other AFCD Centres if we will accept more dogs, one of which is a  senior English bulldog.  This is a difficult breed in the sense that they're too big for our Kennedy Town Homing Centre but they also can't stay at Tai Po and live outdoors.  That means we need a home for the bulldog to go to before we can agree to take it in, so if you can offer a space in your home please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire, or the fostering application at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/.
