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

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 .;-)

  

Thank You.

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.

This one's dedicated to a very dear and special friend. You've encouraged me to not give up on my dreams. You've shown me what it is to be loved without expecting anything in return. I have no words but Thank You! You're very special to me - you know who you are. I promised you clouds and Frank...I hope you like this.

 

I was Blessed with a beautiful sunrise & moonset on the way to work the other day...

Back Story .........................................

 

Rain and wind had stopped before I left.

Daybreak was still an hour away as the

scooter made it's way down the road.

 

Ms Mama, BTP and Little Freckles were all

waiting for me at the head of the driveway.

 

After the first phase of feeding was over we

took off. Numerous food bags were stashed

in my cargo pockets as well as in the cloth bag

that carried special items for the nuns.

A small container with antibiotic cream is in my

pocket with extra q-tips too.

All the dogs were cared for and are doing fine.

 

Thursday and Friday I was on the road in heavy

rain an wind. Had a meeting with immigration's

in a town a very long ways away, 3 hr each way !

 

Didn't want to go today, but I did. Next is breakfast

then a long nap. Tomorrow I stay home and rest up.

 

Thank you for your comments and donations.

My first grandson is one year old today! It's been a great, lovely year! Many more to come!

This is a really difficult lesson to learn. To chill out because your bro is hurt. And once in a while it's okay not to be the center of attention.

This was clicked when this younger one here cried loudly!! Next moment, whole of the herd came running to us and almost charged at our vehicle! Another moment and like nothing happened, both babies were playing with each other, the younger one was a trouble inviter, literally invited the elder one to bully him/her!

 

It’s a question that has puzzled scientists and animal lovers alike: Why is it that humans are so fascinated by the calves of elephants? The answer may lie in our own biology. Elephants are mammals like us. And we’re drawn to live things, especially animals with babies. Also, surprisingly, almost all of the elephant babies are born at night, most likely because it’s harder for predators to find them.

 

Baby elephants are also very playful and love to play with each other. They will often trump (make a noise that sounds like a trumpet) and flap their ears when they are happy or excited. Mounting is one such behaviour where they try to prove dominance over the other babies in the herd, most of them are cousins though!

Unconditional Love.

This is Alice my middle Granddaughter, who lives with me.

I love her unconditionally and would happily throw myself under a bus for her, and most days because of her! :) (Terrible twos)

 

Say a prayer for Daisy, if you wouldn't mind. It's hard to make sense of because she seems so radiantly healthy. Endless energy, bottomless appetite, beautiful coat, muscle tone etc yet, something has severely damaged her young liver. Enzymes and bile acid values almost 10X normal. The next steps are an ultrasound and then likely a biopsy.

And Ya Know What ?

 

I'm gonna lick your face ...;-)~~~

 

And he did, Mama help out too.

They pinned me down, licked

my ears and licked my toes,

then ran off laughing at me.

I tell ya, I get No Respect,

No Respect at All, None !

Well maybe a little bit ;-)

 

Mr Boney Baloney is doing fine

with stitches removed, new gauze

and bandages.Cone is still in place

until Saturday when bandages and

cone will be removed by me .....;-)

 

Today will be spent gathering

dog supplies for Fridays run

back to The Monkey Temple.

Did I forget Thursday ? No,

that day Mr SideCar Man

and I will be repairing the

computer cuz it's dying !

 

Baby Mickey is also doing good

and he never even flinched when

he was given is last rabies injection.

 

Pumpkin The Bumpkin watches my

every move around our place. There

was another cobra behind the house

yesterday that she and Boney chased.

Can't believe Mr Boney did that while

still wearing a cone, but he did.

Like I've said many times. -------

"Good Snake Dogs are worth their

weight in Gold, and then some".

Daisy is so into the family. Never more content than when she’s immersed in our space. All the attributes of her “pure” 50/50 Doberman Boxer mix. Fiercely intelligent, fearless and sensitive from the Doberman, Goofy, rowdy and the class clown from the Boxer. We just love her so much!

Today, May 8th, Mama will once again have her wound

cleaned and bandages changed.So far so good ..........;-)

 

Tomorrow the plan is to head out to the monkey temple.

That's solo, Mama will stay home with no# 1 while all the

temple dogs are cared for. Nuns will be resupplied with

food, medicines and essential supplies.

 

Thanks for your support, greatly appreciated.

Bruno trying to be unnoticed while my 2 and 4 yr old nieces were visiting and carrying on like wild banshees. He was very afraid of toddlers when we adopted him, but has gotten much better and is actually very curious about them as long as they aren't running around screaming. On this he and I are in complete agreement. He was adopted and returned previous to our adopting him and we believe the family must have had little ones who treated him poorly or were in general, not dog savvy folks.

Little Wing

 

Well she’s walking through the clouds

With a circus mind that’s running round

Butterflies and zebras

And moonbeams and fairy tales

That’s all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind.

 

When I’m sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free

It’s alright she says it’s alright

Take anything you want from me, anything

Anything.

 

Fly on little wing,

Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

If no# 1 makes it home today then we

I'm just waiting for orders from

head quarters. That's my job.

To Raurus,

 

Thank you for enriching our lives for so many years.

 

You will always be in our hearts, and I will never forget all the joy, unconditional love and companionship that I had the privilege to experience.

 

Even when I worked late, you waited up for me, and refused to go and sleep until I came to tuck you in.

 

On the day we met.

Amongst all the puppies, I immediate knew you were the one, and you immediately chose me as well. I actually woke up on that day, and knew that I could go and find you waiting for me and come home with my dog.

 

You were always by my side, and I miss you so much...

 

Your best friend, Martin.

Abused, Abandoned Jungle Dogs.

 

So here's the story behind this photo.

 

Figured sense I was spending most of my

time in bed and needed fresh photos of

the dogs in action I'd take advantage of

this opportunity. Now they are all laying

around the bed keeping a close eye

on yours truly. Pulled out a D300

with the much lighter 17-55 2.8

and instantly Pumpkin started

talking in her deep yawning.

 

And of course this triggered The Pipsqueak.

Mr Boney Baloney opened one eye and

went right back to sleep. This is a case

of the tail wagging the dog as both

dogs are dancing an singing ;-)-

  

Pumpkin knows when the camera comes

out it's time to showoff 4 her flickr fans.

That's my right leg you see as I'm

sitting on the edge of the bed.

 

After a couple of minutes of dancing an singing

they both wandered outside and laid in the sun.

And after a couple minutes in the hot tropical

sun they called it quits and came back inside.

  

There ya go, a small slice of our life ;-)

 

Thank You.

We're very thankful that Bruno is feeling better. It got pretty scary there for about a week when he had blood in his stool, though his puppy energy never seemed to wane. He's such a blast. The fence and thicket of branches behind him is what I had to shoot through to get the recent coyote shots.

Back Story .........................................

 

Left at 5:30AM in the middle of a monsoon downpour.

Scooter sidecar was packed with a bunch of dog stuff.

Everything is wrapped and strapped to keep rain out.

Numerous times I had to pull over under some kind of

cover due to the monsoon just being way to much !!!

 

Finally showed up at the monkey temple. Pulled into The

Dog Palace and Mama wasn't there. No Big Deal, I know

where she is. And where's that you ask ? At The Nuns...;-)

 

Opened the bingo room flipped the light switch and once

again there's no power. All the way out thunder an lightning

was a major issue. So, that explains the "no power dilemma"

 

Prepared the food bags and food bowls, stepped outside

and sent a shrill whistle across The DMZ. That was easier

then climbing the steps all the way to the roof and whistling.

 

Few minutes later a very wet Mama came racing into the

bingo room. And yes she smelled like a wet dog who'd

been shinny dipping in the swamp with the monkeys !

 

Soon enough we were crossing the concrete walking bridge.

Miss Legs the Zoomer and Rocky met up with us and off we

go to the spirit house.FYI: All the dogs are wet and smelly !

 

Photo shows Mama with a wet nose but believe me when I

say her entire body is soaked and stinks !!!

From the spirit house I stop with The Hooligans and do our

usual feeding exercise as Mama,Rocky and The Zoomer

wait at the boundary line.

Next Mama and I head back to The Dog Palace where Mama

is given a bath.

And all dog people here know what that can be like, or not !

 

At 9AM Miss Legs the Zoomer is loaded into the sidecar and

we takeoff for the dog doctor. Time 4 her yearly inoculations.

Rain slowed down but never stopped ! Everything is soaked !

 

Lets backup a little, reason for Mamas bath was so she could

go to the dog doctor 2. There's a nasty skin problem that she

has chewed on till it's bleeding . Now after her bath Mama said

no way am I going 4 a ride in this bad weather, no way no way !

 

These double round trips really wear me down, especially

when it's done in a monsoon with hard horizontal winds !

 

Not complaining, just stating the facts.Catch y'all on the rebound.

Mama came home around noon

with a new pair of monkey pants.

 

Large wound has dried up nicely.

She returns to the dog clinic on

Monday for her last set of shots.

 

Of course Rocky was happy to

see his Mom ..........;-)

 

None of the other dogs were

allowed to get near Mama !

She's still a little bit grumpy.
