Dog Owners

Dear Dog Owners,

For those of you who didn’t know, now it is mandatory for your dog to be registered. You may have seen these posters (picture below) around and red banners that notify that new pet laws are being implemented in Nanjing.  According to the neighbors, you will get fined if you don’t have the necessary documents by May. You will need various documents. Last year, I had to take a proof of rabies shot, vaccinations, proof of residence, passport, and my dog to the local police station.  I believe you still have to do the same this year- except now it is free! 🙂 But, to make sure that you get the most updated information, my best suggestion is … go to your vet and ask them how to best go about doing this.

Good luck!

Pfrang Gala

Don’t forget to get your Pfrang Gala tickets from Sandra Fuchs-it’s coming up fast! You can reserve a table if you have 10 people. Book your baby-sitters soon too!

Noah is still in the lead

Noah is in the lead but Ms Creme is not safe yet.  Mr Fischl has dropped into fourth place – I want to see him bald so come on lets make it happen.  On the other hand Felicity would look great with a mohawk.  There is a new ‘volunteer’, Sophie Runte, and she is being a HUGE risk taker and could end up being bald if you chose her.

Collections each break and lunch outside of the library.  We will keep collecting until Friday 29th April.

All funds raised go to Ray of Light Cambodia.
