I am a late blooming animal lover. My cat, Starsky is 12 years old and struggling a bit with me being away. My need to express love for a furry friend was satisfied when I met 2 puppies the size of newborn horses, Da Fung and Da Ka. After lunch, we walked the immense SZF grounds. Our informal tour took us to the area where Da Fung and Da Ka live. They are huge and gentle 11 month old puppies who love to be petted through the gate of their very large fenced area. They also have access to an even larger open area with a shade tree that Da Ka enjoys. Those pups brought all of us so much joy. The President’s assistant, Ms. Bai loves these pups and allowed us to pet them thru the gate. They ate it up, and so did we. Ms. Bai said if she opened the gate, their enthusiasm would see them charge and inadvertently knock us down with affection. While looking into he happy eyes of Da Fung, I could see she was right. He loves the attention and I loved giving it to him.
Work saw us planning our workshop for next week. We got word that Dr. Zhou and Ms. Zhang from Third Hospital needed to reschedule their interview for Monday. It was a good day!
