Blue has always melted around children. Though she can't see or hear them anymore, she always knows when these two are near.
Thanks to everyone for your visits and kindness. It means a lot to me.
In this shot you can see how his hind feet point outward. I think his double dewclaws make it appear more pronounced. His hind legs are getting stronger all the time.
My heart is broken.....Brutus went peacefully this morning.....may he run and play like a puppy at Rainbow Bridge!
In this pic Brutus is lying in his special place with his paws hanging over the pool!
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I love this ancient fishing village that has such an Italian feeling to it. Among the steps and pathways of the old town, I came across this little symbol of kindness. For me it's less about religion, and more about the universal quality of a mother's tender love, something so very special in this world. Thank goodness for the existence of unconditional love on this planet Earth. May it always remain and grow stronger and stronger!

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
In a brutal unforgiving environment Mother & Son
share a tender moment on the roof @ The Dog Palace.
An environment where your first mistake will most likely
be your very last mistake ! Rocky is the only dog Mama
allows to touch her like this. Their bond is unbreakable.
Thank You.

Abandon Abused Thai Dogs.
The series continues on the day before Christmas 2012.
Every other day I am able to head out to monkey mt and feed the mama-san and puppy. Big time happiness when I pull in and what I have noticed is mama is more interested in affection then the food. Little Big Ears of course wants some affection but is real persistent in getting to the chicken's in the bag. I guess it's like kids wanting a happy meal ....;-)
So here ya go a report on the abandon dogs in rural Thailand as the series will continue right into the new year..
Thanks for coming by and we are wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas from Thailand...;-)

This lovely Lion-boy was having a nap that very warm and sunny August day!! His 2 Lion-girls were having a nap , too.. It was about 15 :…….pm… I thought , that my kittens at home have a nap at about the same time… But the home of those unfortunate 3 was a Zoo… The Artis-Zoo of Amsterdam/ Holland….
Their “enclosure”=cage was not quite large, for those 3 adorable Felines , born free , and made to live/run free within huge distances… Again, that depressing Zoo-feeling filled my being….My son Nicholas beside me, was also very sober…
*** Oh, No!! Zoos have no reason to exist now-days, in the way they exist!! They ALL have to be turned into Zoo-Parks! Where ALL animals will live in a semi-free condition!! Because , even when confined within a certain space, in order to be protected, these creatures merit a quality of life , like all of us!!.Animals are NOT our slaves!They only help us , to become better humans!I have seen twice in my life something like a semi-free animal-condition , but WITHOUT all animals living in the same semi-free state : in the “Cotswold Zoo-Park and Gardens” of the Oxfordshire/ England, and recently in the ”Safari Park” near Liège/Belgium…
*** And , in case I made you sad, rejoice!!! Just watch these 2 UPLIFTING VIDEOS (!!), about the lucky Christian the Lion!! Christian the Lion , who had the huge luck to be adopted, when still an abandoned baby by two exceptional young men, who let him free in Mother-Africa land , when he grew up!!!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love San Francisco & Beat Generation history, literature & poetry so much that it makes my heart skip a beat every time I think about it. Even when in pandemic, even when I’m exhausted. Always ! And it’s still bothers me that AG & JK correspondence book was missing my last time @ LV library!!! I can’t go back to SF but I go back for the book or order it online ... ♀️
Imagine any problem you have to be a huge, locked door standing in front of you. Now see yourself taking a golden key out of your pocket. You brought the key here with you when you arrived on this planet, but you sometimes forget to use it. See yourself putting it into the keyhole, then watch the door swing open. On the key are inscribed these words, "Unconditional Love."

Though Sam is usually the one in the lead on our walks -- at least on the way out -- on this day as I followed him down this snowy, rutted road, I felt a new poignancy in his hesitant pose. The fog was so dense we could not see what lay ahead and besides that, his vision is getting cloudy in his old age (Sam is a venerable 16 years old.)
I was feeling particularly fragile that day ... it was a down day for me.
My dear friend, Sam . . .
He keeps me company even when I'm not good company.
I imagine Sam will die before I do. I imagine someday I will follow him through the veil.
To whatever is next.
It will be easier knowing he followed that mysterious scent down the road first.
I cherish the companionship of this old dog.
Yes, it's him again! Which pretty much sums up his general exuberant effect on our household. He's a few weeks shy of being a year old and every bit the teenager.

DISCLAIMER: In this writing I talk mostly about how much I love Chloe. If that bores you, (aka. you have a penis?), feel free to talk about these killer tones!
I thought I made it crystal clear to Chloé that I loved her. She wouldn’t actually ever doubt something so fundamental to our relationship, would she?
After all, I do tell Chloé that I love her many times every single day. It’s that kind of love that doesn’t go away and so bona fide in how feels to me that it would be a dirty stinkin’ crime not to let fuckin’ the kid know, right? If I can tell all you assholes how I feel about her, you better snap yourself into a slim jim that I tell her too. I'd be a real fuckup to keep this all a secret.
Well, Chloé recently had an public temper tantrum a month or two ago. After Little Miss Diablo’s cries became whimpers and my yelling subsided, Daddy Dearest sat down next to her bed to talk. I immediately got this question:
“Daddy, do you still love me even though I was bad?”
My jaw almost dropped. This is the first time as I can recall hat she seriously questioned that.
Well of course I made it very known to her that our love never goes away, no. matter. what.
And I will NEVER forget that look on her face after I immediately squashed the tiny bit of doubt that slipped into her tiny mind. Never forget. As soon as the first word of reassurance came out of my mouth, the corners of her mouth went right to the most innocent and happy smile she ever sported. You could just feel the relief as she wiped her eyes that were still wet from crying. Then she moved over to me and hugged me real tight and said something just like this:
“Oh Daddy! Our love never goes away, EVER EVER! Right Daddy?”
But this time when she asked “Right Daddy?”, it was rhetorical, as it always is when she asks that.
You know when thinking about this experience now, I can’t help but think of it as my daughter’s heart somehow fell on the floor. How does a heart leave the body and fall on the floor without a visable open wound you ask? The fuck if I know.
But I seized this moment motherfucker. With her heart so fragile and open as to be just laying on the carpet among her toys, I was given the opportunity to crush it or even kick it if I wanted to prove the point of how mad I was. Or even accidentally step on it? Any wrong move and I would have caused irreplaceable damage to her entire being forever!
Good thing I'm not a fucking dumbshit. I VERY carefully picked it up and placed it back in her chest. I sew up her heart so super tight that there's no way it could fall out again. I locked that heart inside her the way only a strong Daddy can do it. I performed successful open heart surgery on my kid right on the spot.
Are there conditions for the love of your children? If your kid let’s say turned out to be gay when they grew up, would you be okay with such a notion? Or a drug addict? Or in fact just thinks your precious Jesus is a fictional piece of shit so they decided to worship Satan instead.
Could these scenarios or any situation occur that would cause you to turn your back on your children? Is your love truly unconditional? And if not, how do feel about that?

Of course, very few of us think , that a severely handicapped child may suddenly arrive in our ….normal family!!! Things like this, like the “death” theme , are considered as taboos in our …civilized society….
But, THERE IS (!!!) an angelic place on this Earth, where both handicapped children AND the death theme, are repeatedly faced with the utmost unconditional Love and Reverence, FOR FREE !! At the hospice of Helen’s & Douglas’ House of Oxford/ UK !!!
During our Philippe’s short life, this exceptional place has stood both for my Alexandra and Philippe as an open, adorable, true, family home!! What a luck and happiness for me, knowing that my children are taken care with a perfect professional AND an amazing humane way !
Because THIS is what this amazing place does : offering QUALITY OF LIFE to children, with “life-shortening conditions”!!!! Human words do not really describe this angelic place!!
The good-bye bedroom of the just gone to the Other Side children in the Helen’s House hospice, is a normal, joyful , colourful bedroom!! When I entered this bedroom to say good-bye to our darling Philippe, his baby-body was looking like an alive sleeping Philippe in his bed, having his Teddy in his arms ! His face was angelically serene, like the faces of all sleeping children…Only while kissing tenderly his frozen cheeks, I realized that Philippe was not in that lovely little body anymore!! He had already been welcomed at the Other Side, with utmost Love and Reverence!! Little Jesus that he was, having just completed his difficult Task of unconditional Love!!

We are really worried about Bruno. Nothing the vets have tried thus far has been successful in treating the ulcerative colitis. Next step is to see an internist for more in-depth testing and diagnostic measures. He amazes us with his spirit and personality as he's always happy, never seems to be feeling bad, yet is truly sick.
