Once all the dogs had their monthly injections
they settled down knowing the coast is clear.
Overall they do real good when it comes
time for their injections and oral meds.
Yo-Yo, who is Rockys jailbait girlfriend
is racing around unable to curb her
enthusiasm. Little Stubby is real
angry at her for jumping up
on her porch and causing
a way big disturbance.
This stuff never ends.
No# 1 and the nuns jabbered away for
an hour or more then we had to go.
FYI,
May 28th is the one hundredth day
sense Mr Kind Monk passed away.
Thai tradition calls 4 a celebration
honoring his life while on earth.
After that his ashes will be spread on the ocean.
Yes we will of course be there helping the nuns.
Thank you for all your support

Sorry haven't been on Flickr lately, been working 3 jobs now down to 1.5 jobs, things are improving with hard work, 7 days a week. It's New Year Day and finally a day off, slept 14 hours with my babies :) I missed all the fireworks and celebration as my boss and I was stuck in the kitchen getting slammed with orders, got home at 1am :(
This was better than 2018 New Year's Eve, a feral cat attack, infections and high fevers, struggling to find a good paying job. Never give up! Love, Gratitude, Appreciation. I was meant to go through hardships, that woke me up taking nothing for granted.
Have a Happy 2020! Time to shine and be successful in life! Take care and be good to one another, Aloha!
Spiritually concerned people at a Medicine Buddha Havan ceremoni in Northern India, praying for good health for a group of ill people.
Again the results after, where amazing and unexplainable..

Alright here's a heads up on changed plans.
Everything was prepared for today's temple plan.
I was to stop at the dog clinic and pick up medication.
They open at 9AM so I was dragging my feet while waiting.
Four syringes would be prepared full of medication
and packed in ice for transport out to the temple.
At 8:30 AM I had a funny feeling, so no# 1 wife
was asked to call the nuns and make sure they
are there to help me. No one answered !
The calendar was checked and we
found-out today is a Buddha
day and the nuns are
at another temple.
It will be late afternoon before they return.
So in that case the plans for today have
been rescheduled for tomorrow. I'm
glad that was resolved before it
was to late. This is the jungle
and things here have a
rhythm all it's own.
Anyway now you know what I know.
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Mama saying thank you for all the support
so many have sent over time.
Supplies, food, medicines and on going
medical bills for all the temple dogs.
Yesterday there was 37,200 views which was
quite a surprise indeed ............... ;-)
I don't recall ever getting that kind of response
in the past. I believe Tinker Bells photo going
into "explore" had a lot to do with that.
Recently you've heard me describe a situation
here in Thailand that's gone from epidemic to a
rabies virus endemic alert ! We are under attack.
The province we live in is one of the hot spots as
is other provinces that surround us, this is not good!
6 people have died of rabies sense the first of the year.
3 more people were bitten Friday which was 2 days ago.
Now along with Mama, her crew, The Hooligans and BTP
I must get down on bended knee and grovel for help too.
Not for me, but for all the temple dogs who are right now
in need of their rabies updates.Each must be taken into the
dog doctor separately . That means a double round trip to
The Monkey Temple each time a dog goes in.A long process.
Of the 37,200 viewers not one helped with a donation ?
So I'm reaching out to you now, "Hello", "Help !"
Paul Allen, Bill Gates, Anybody !
Our cupboards are empty, everything we do here
depends on your help through donations, without
them the dogs suffer greatly.
Stand By Me.
Thank You.

Here and there and everywhere in Venice as one walks through the ancient streets of this fascinating cultural treasure - now a World Heritage Site - one sees these little shrines. Amid cell phones ringing, appointments to make, responsibilities to take care of, daily challenges, the fast pace and extraordinary complexity of modern life...these precious shrines are like little oases of peace.
While making ones way through the complex maze that is Venice one comes around a corner and in a split second one is invited to enter another dimension: a gentle vast realm speaking silently to us through the ages in a symbolic language soaked with meaning. These special gestures that invoke the human heart of healing across time and space.....so nourishing!
[Note on the photo: I added a layer from Borealnz to the photo. It had been taken early on a winter morning. The Madonna was on a north wall, in the shade, so the light was slightly blue. I decided to add a layer with a soft glow and make the scene more true to how I felt looking at her. See the original shot below.]
Still defying the odds. A CT scan in June showed she was born with a severely deformed liver, full of shunts and no gall bladder. The internal medicine specialist was astonished that she could seem so radiantly healthy, but expects her quality of life to diminish rapidly. Every day with her is a gift. The most wonderful, fun and quirky little girl.
Moved up in my stream per the request of a fellow Flickr friend :) Thanks!
Happy Birthday Daddy!!!! I love you :) (Today is Nathan's B-day 8/8/08)

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Handed no# 1 wife the camera so
Mama could crawl onto my lap...;-)
Long day. No# 1 wife and I took
Legs The Zoomer into the dog
doctors clinic.Things went pretty
good with a couple of hick-ups.
Tomorrow Thailand starts in on
celebrating "Songkran."
Thai New Year's national holiday.
The dog clinic will be closed until
April 16. The Zoomer will return on
the morning of the 16th for a ck-up.
Had to make an executive decision.
Wait until after Songkran is over to
start fixing The Zoomer or start now
and keep a close eye on her for a
number of days at the nuns place.
As CEO of Abandoned Abused Street Dogs
I told them to start now and she'll be watched
over by the nuns and myself then returned on
the morning of the 16th for a ck up, easy deal.
Dead meat was trimmed off around the open
hole in her belly close to her belly-button.
Then noninvasive probing took place
where a lump was located close by.
X'ray reveled some swelling and
bruising but no actual tearing.
She's rapped, strapped and
stitched for the moment .
I feel comfortable with
that decision ........;-)
While no# 1 and I were waiting at the clinic
they came out with a thick folder and started
naming off all the dogs they have seen over
the last 7 years that I've brought in to be saved.
The ones no longer with us were culled from the
file and laughed at the new addition, "Baby Mickey."
So there ya go.
Songkran is considered the most
deadly 7 days on all the Thai roads !
Tomorrow I stay home and off the roads.
But Saturday I will be making a run out to
The Monkey Temple for the monthly meds.
And yes of course The Zoomer will be ck on.
From all the temple dogs, Thank You .........;-)
Thank You.

A dog will teach you, unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad.( Robert Wagner)
For Valentine's Day, why not a little bambino for my Flickr friends! And a celebration of unconditional love....
This photo was part of a one person show called "Italian Treasures - Icons of Venice and Florence" www.flickr.com/photos/44548980@N00/1476638355/in/set-7215... . This photo is also part of my set on Trees and Gardens. (Follow the link in the side bar to the right to see those).
Just a few minutes walking distance from the Convent of San Marco in Florence, there are several gardens that are part of the University of Florence. I couldn't go inside as they were closed that day, but this charming scene was visible from the ancient garden gate. To spend a few peaceful moments enjoying this garden and the Giardini di Simplici (one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Western world) nearby was special, given that the historic part of Florence is densely crowded with one amazing building after another, as it was in the Middle Ages....with narrow streets and no room for nature. In this dense urban landscape, to come across a garden and trees!! What a treasure!
I was in a trance in any case, after spending several hours at the Convent of San Marco experiencing the exquisitely moving frescoes there, by Fra Angelico. Maybe that is why the trees looked ... well ... kind of indigo. :o) I truly recommend visiting the San Marco Museum. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marco,_Florence
and paradoxplace.com/Perspectives/Italian Images/Montages/Firenze/San Marco.htm
and here is a link to Fra Angelico: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fra_Angelico
Below are two more sculptures celebrating nature, beauty, and love, found in a garden along the French Riviera, for those who haven't yet seen them.

Abused, Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
Pumpkin with her many monkey scars.
Now she's safe living at our place....;-)
Boney Baloney & Pumpkin Bumpkin
play and race around till they're
dead tired, then they start
all over an do it again.
When I return home from The Monkey Temple
Pumpkin spends a lot of time sniffing my body.
I'm sure she missis the nuns, and Little Stubby
but there's a lot of danger she doesn't miss at all.
At night, she sleeps on her soft pink blanket in
the house right next to our bed safe and sound.
Mr WeeNee BeeNee The Pig Man also sleeps
next to our bed on a soft blue blanket while
Mr Boney Baloney insists on sleeping out-
side right next to the door on guard for
anything that goes bump in the dark !
Pumpkin The Bumpkin is a funny talking dog.
She yawns out words in a deep dog voice.
Mostly "wow, woow, woooow" and so on.
While doing this she dances around
while raising one of her paws to
emphasis the importance of
our funny conversation.
She's a silly girl..;-)
But don't be fooled as she too can be very
aggressive if she feels our safety is in peril.
For example, few days back somebody that
I didn't know or even know he had come into
our compound walked up onto our porch while
the door was wide open and I was real busy on
the computer. Pumpkin, Boney & WeeNee were
all sound asleep on the floor right next to me....
Stranger half stepped in the door talking in Thai
when Pumpkin exploded on him forcing the man
backwards and off the porch. I think he peed his
pants, for real ! Boney and WeeNee followed suit.
Now I know he peed his pants cuz I could see it !
Poor guy was looking for scrap and plastic bottles.
No# 1 and her crew were in town otherwise she
would have seen him coming and handled it.
Don't think he'll come back here again !!!
Here's another FYI: ---
Pumpkin hangs out on the berm that encompasses
the large pond behind our house for a specific reason.
She feels it's her responsibility to guard against any an
all of the poisonous snakes that also hangout there.
She is part Thai Bangkaew and they are known for
the following --------------------
"This is an intelligent, athletic, agile and robust breed. It will be a loyal and protective family companion as well as an excellent watchdog. The Thai Bangkaew Dog is a loving, intelligent and alert dog that makes an excellent and devoted family companion as well as a good working and hunting dog. This breed will be affectionate with its family, will get along well with children and a properly socialized dog will be very gentle with smaller children.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog is not an aggressive breed but can be aloof with strangers and is very territorial and protective. However, this breed is more likely to threaten than bite and attack. It makes a great guardian and watchdog that will loudly announce arrival of any visitor (friend or stranger).
The Thai Bangkaew Dog is a breed that is known to be very aggressive towards other dogs. With other animals your dog will get along well if you start socialization from a very young age. This breed is definitely for an experienced owner.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog is an intelligent breed, but is independent and can be stubborn. Therefore, it's not always easy to train. This breed need consistent and short training with a lot of positive methods like treats or praise. Avoid repetitive tasks, as this dog gets bored quickly.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog needs a confident and experienced owner who can earn the dog’s trust and respect. Socialization must start from a very young age. "
So there's your dog history lesson for today. A google search
will get you a lot more information about the origin of this dog.
Thanks goes out to everyone who supports this project.
Without your help these dogs would suffer greatly.
As the photos show the ones I care for live a
healthy life even with their monkey scars.
It's through your donations that this
is made possible - Thank You -
ps: when pumpkin the puppy was thrown away
here in the jungle she was suffering from a bad
case of mange. everyday the nuns gave her a
special medicine that I refilled every week like
clock work.her fur now feels smooth as silk .;-)

Abused & Abandoned Street Dogs.
Mr Lover Boy isn't hanging around
his two blond girlfriends any more.
Apparently they kicked him out or
maybe he just plain got bored ;-)
Just after 6AM The Bingo Room
is opened and The Tube is filled.
A few minutes later Rocky & Mama
escort me down to the nuns place.
Small package is handed off then
away we go to The Spirit House .
Bunches of monkeys were racing
around causing all kids of chaos.
At one point a big monkey bit
Baby Mickey on his baby butt.
All hell broke loose as both
Mama & Rocky exploded an
took off chasing said monkey.
Little Baby Mickey took off
for the nuns place scared
2 death, never looking back.
The Tube is repacked and I too
take off for the nuns place in
order to do a checkup on
Baby Mickey. Small hole
is located an treated.
Mama walks with me down to the boundary
line that makes up the south section of
The Hooligans Turf where it touches
the north section of Mamas Turf.
I proceed on now escorted by DJ, Angel Eyes,
2-Tone and Mr Boo Boo. All singing & dancing.
All 4 dogs are checked over for medical issues
while being fed. Mr Ed receives six fresh carrots.
Mr Pig got some carrots too. Guppies are also fed.
Picked up Mama at the line where Rocky also
was waiting my arrival. Took our time heading
over to The Dog Palace to shed all my gear.
Everything is left in The Bingo Room so I can
return without Mama & Rocky and feed while
caring for Mr Little Larry, Molly and Mr Blondie.
With Mama in the lead and I'm on the scooter
we race back over to the nuns where the dogs
are brushed. Then it's my field bath in their water
bucket. It's been nearly two hours now so I mount
the scooter and exit reappearing at The Dog Palace
to care for Molly and Crew. They all look pretty good.
Once home I figured I'd lay down for a couple of
minutes just to catch my second wind. Four hours
later a wet black nose woke me up. Apparently a nap
was needed more than I thought. No# 1 brought tea ;-)
Hope to do the same same in 2 or 3 days time.
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.

My dear old Grandma and my daughter holding hands.
There are two generations and 31870 days between them. They are at opposite ends of their lives. But with a mutual respect for each other, each hand touch is a declaration of love.
9 days after this photo was captured my grandma passed away peacefully.
Don’t let these tumultuous times tear at your dreams
You are a deep reservoir of possibility and outcome
Your thoughts and adorations are pillars within you
Reach for the Mystery out of which you came
Even in your mother’s womb the connection pulsated
Stay connected there where the breath rises and falls
Where aching questions reach out to the Unknown
Reach upward with invisible arms and take flight
Re-establish the kingdoms you once built in the sand
when life was still a long hot day at the beach
See with eyes that enhance your view with hope
Even if your world feels broken and dry
The children of the world need us to stay connected
Because they still trust in the law of giving and receiving
It cannot be taught
Only remembered
It cannot be taken
Only activated
From the depth of a mind in balance
From the heart of a child still believing
From the womb of a world in dark and fragile conception
It bursts forth with audacious expectation
Reaching for a kind of Love it has never felt before
