APS

Since adopting the dogs Angela has been wanting to find out about getting them ‘fixed’ and checked over.  Here in Samoa there are no vets, but there is the Animal Protection Society.  They rely on volunteer vets to provide spaying and neutering services and run some education programs.  We will probably have to pay them a visit sometime soon to get Angela’s dogs looked at. 

The other night the APS held a fundraising dinner so we decided to go along.  It was a good night, held at Bistro Tatau – one of Apia’s finest restaurants.  We had never been there before, so it was a good excuse to check it out.  The meals were very nice and between courses there were presentations by APS, quizzes and then the guest speaker – Pamela Stephenson Connolly (Billy Connolly’s wife – although I am sure she doesn’t like to referred to that way!).  Even though she admitted that she is not an ‘animal person’ she did give a very entertaining speech.  

All in all it was a good night out for a good cause.
