Time really flies when you are enjoying yourself & last weeks ‘Just another day’ post seems like yesterday. Today the chaos of the morning kicked off with Go, the guy who could Pee through his willy again, pulling out his catheter and needing to return to the vet. As the preparations continued for Dr Tarn’s [...]

Today at the Care for Dogs shelter near Hang Dong, 13 dogs were seen by Dr Tarn and her team treating their Transmissible Venereal Tumor conditions. 11 of the dogs are living-in and one is a visitor from a nearby village, who trots along next to his companion who rides her Honda Wave to the [...]

The guy who warned us about the vicious dogs led the Alsatian into a cage whilst we looked at the other dog. Why he did this, we shall never know but he said they had been this way for the last couple of years and we assumed he knew them better than we did.

The Golden Retriever had so little energy, we had to carry him into the car. He didn’t growl, he didn’t resist and where he was put, he stayed. The Alsatian walked quietly but positively into the car without any fuss. Their bodies were very thin, bones sticking out and skin drawn tight in some places and hanging saggy in others. Their eye lids drooping and eyes just staring, they looked exhausted and like characters from documentaries where prisoners have been released after long term captivity. I am not exaggerating, I am not sensationalising, this happened, this is real life.

Karin, Soraya & I went on a road trip today, returning to Doi Saket and the awful caged dogs and the man who we are trying to encourage to change his ways and on the way we called into a government office, the local livestock department. Recently, a Thai Government officer working in Bangkok, visited [...]
