Elvis

Elvis is one of the 2 dogs that I've been sponsoring for close to a year now. We used to visit the shelter more often but I stopped because I always felt really sad leaving all the 60+ dogs behind... Elvis is one of the better natured dog @ the shelter, i've yet to hear him bark till today.

He was always happy to see us at the shelter till this Mother's Day. After an absence of about 3 months, Elvis seems to have lost his ethusiasm for life and doesnt look as happy as he did before and seem to have lost soooo much weight in just 3 months.

It daunted me for the longest time! I didnt know how to help him as i do have 7 cats and a kid and can cats and dogs really get along?? After seeing him again at TAS flea market, i asked Brendan if he wanted to take Elvis home as Bren is petrified of dogs!! loves cats but afraid of dogs!!

Bren agreed to take Elvis home and i filled up a fostering form and we were gonna be Elvis' foster home!! with the long holiday, my busy work schedule, bad weather... i think it was just my fear of the 'consequences' between my cats & Elvis when i take him home. It was either NOW or never!! Brendan and the nanny kept asking bout Elvis, when was he gonna come home...

So, June 5th 2009, Lilian, who is also a volunteer @ Animals Taiwan kindly drove Elvis to my house. Elvis is known for being sick in the car...etc He actually did throw up like thrice in the car as Lilian couldnt find my apt.

With all the lil hiccups, Elvis is finally home... YES!! A place where he can call his home. It gives me sooooo much joy to see him sooooo happy!! (words just cannot express my joy or rather our joy to have Elvis here)

WELCOME HOME ELVIS!!
