Do you know what Yi Mui is doing?
估到二妹在做什麼嗎？

星期五晚發現三隻小狗，第二天要練習龍船，並且要替媽媽取借用的輪椅，本來是十分忙的，無奈三隻小狗的身體健康也十分重要，所以還是約了醫生在龍船與取輪椅的晚飯空檔。	It was busy the second day the puppies were found.  Although our schedule is very tight, we still squeezed the dinner time, which goes in between the dragon boat practice and borrowing arm chair for my mother, to take the puppies to visit the vet.

練習龍船教習是例牌超時的，約了獸醫六時三十分，奈何接近五時三十分才讓我們離汽車老遠處上岸，我和太太惟有以跑步作cool down，更不要說換掉身上的濕衫，更不要說去厠所等，飛車回家最三個小狗，再飛車去獸醫處，但始終還是遲了二十分鐘。	The coach did not release us on time, even worse, he dropped us a mile away from our car.  Needless to say, we need to run to the car to hurry for the vet booking at 630.  May be the running is a kind of cool down.  Without changing all the wet clothes, without wasting a second in going to toilet, we managed to get the three dogs to the vet at only 20 minutes late.

問獸醫他們的年紀，獸醫估計他們大概兩個月大。體溫體重都正常，先打了第一針混合針。	Vet guessed that they are older than 2 months.  The checking takes not long and they have their first vaccination.

目前最急著要處理的是做好他們容身之所，幸好到星期中才有暴雨，有點時間可以把花園弄好一點，太太第一晚做了些臨時的分隔措施，讓他們可以在花園中有點自由活動的空間。	After all these, the remaining urgent things to do is to make a better place for them to live in.  Unfortunately, our garden is connected to our neighbour's and there is no shelter.  Luckily we don't have storm until the middle of the week.  Wife has made some temporary separation from the neighbour so that they can have their playing space.

風雨來臨前，終於為他們完成了基本的建設：第一是一個足夠三隻小狗生活的三呎大籠，內有食物、水及玩具，周圍有蚊香。	Before the coming of the storm, we manage to finish a few things for them.  The first is a 3 feet cage for them to sleep in.  We have put food, water and toys for them inside the cage.  And we need to put two mosquito coils outside to discourage the mosquito from biting them.

第二是臨時加建一個上蓋，讓他們的三呎籠可以安放在戶外。	The second is a temporary shelter which enables their cage without getting wet outside.

第三是做好花園的分隔，因為鄰居剛從外地工作回來，當然不好佔用他的花園。分隔仍然是臨時的，只是加了落地的柱而已。	The third is to make a more strong separation of the garden.  A pole has been put into the ground but it is still a temporary fence.  This is needed as our neighbour has just return from his oversea job and is sure not a good idea to use his garden.

『各位，我是大妹，目前一切很好，有食有住，不用怕，不過，長久來說，這不能算是一個完整的家，你可以收留我們嗎？』	"I am Tai Mui and am glad to have a safe shelter right now.  However, this is not a home.  Can any of you offer us a home?"
