Hello Elvis!

We went down to the shelter (Animals Taiwan) today to visit our new pet, Elvis! along with the Webbs. The taxi driver spent bout 20 mins driving in loops before the lady from the shelter came to direct us to them.

I was a little taken aback when we first arrived at the entrance of the shelter;
1) No signboard (think will get one of Larry's suppliers to donate one!)
2) All the barks!!
3) Really runned down...

When we got in, I was or we were overwhelmed by the barks and the number of dogs we saw there, needless to say, lil B was petrified!! There were about 60 dogs in different sections. All very friendly, just wanted a pet or two from us!!

Asked to see Elvis, brought him a lil treat, 3 doggy bones. Next time we go there, I'll prepare 60!! Felt sooo bad that we didn't have enough bones to give to all the dogs. (Sigh~~)

Elvis is such a sweet, smart and obedient dog! Think he's a cross between a German shepard and a Coolie. I absolutely fell in love with him when I saw him. We brough him for a walk in the park across from the shelter, we were told that he LOVES going for walks depite having only 3 legs. He could even tell us and directed us back to the shelter when he was too tired to continue.

Then we visited the 'cat room', heard there was a cat that was born without 2 senses: sight and smell. Wish we could take it home to provide it with adequate care, afterall we do already have 7 cats, what's another?? Hmmm... 8 cats?? :) I believe my cats will take good care of it?? Ok, will talk to Larry when he's back from Macau or when he takes us to the shelter one day.

The Webbs adopted a pet too!! Sausage, am adorable black dog who simply just followed Aidan around and even kiss him at the shelter. The 2 boys had chemistry!!

Brendan became less petrified after we got back from our walk at the park, he even called out to Elvis and waved goodbye to all the dogs when it was time to go.

Ok, managed to get 2 dogs sponsored now! Goal: 30 (have set it low)
