Vicki and Company

This dog loves people and particularly people who do not like dogs. She will find those who do not like her and attempt to charm her way into their hearts. Her attempts fail because some people do not appreciate the efforts she makes. She'll nap for a few minutes then will have a burst of energy and run around to those most frightened by her.

We know her breath stinks and try to give her doggie breath mints. The stinky breath is persistent. Time to get a toothbrush and some yummy toothpaste.

She also had her rabies shot at the animal control centre which is located near Hong Kong Dog Rescue. We went to visit her old stomping grounds and she was ready to just go back in with the other dogs. It was heartbreaking to me that she would think she'd have to go back. One of the employees there enthusiastically came out to greet Vicki and Vicki loved it.

She was also a hit at the pet shop where I proudly showed her picture and the girl immediately recognized her from HKDR website! Our Vicki is a bit of a Hong Kong celebrity.

  2. we don't want her to be obsessed with the scale or anything! we continue to take her for 3-4 walks per day and feed her dog food (NOT people food) twice a day. Hopefully, she will slowly but surely reach a healthier weight in a sensible way. The woman who heads up the HKDR thinks with a regular diet and some exercise she'll be okay :c)
