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.

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...

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.

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,

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. -------

weight in Gold, and then some".

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.

Couple days ago the side of Rocky's

face was swollen the size of a softball.

 

Your donations have saved him from agonizing

pain and a massive infection from the ape bite !

 

We are all grateful for your support ...............;-)

 

I'm just trying to leave something behind.

2Pac - Unconditional Love

()...

You will always be in my heart

With unconditional love

..

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.

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.

Master Aspen of course adores little Anneliese and she in return. They have been good buddies all last year too.

 

I just call this .... Love Love Love :) nothing more, nothing less.

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.

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.

  

Thank You.

It's been six yeas since Alex died, and what better day that to remember our marvelous, mischievous, and downright merry Cairn Terrier that improved our lives for 13 years. A typical terrier - our fourth in 47 years - he was both fun and funny, but he knew how to get to us. When we'd come home after two days or two hours - you'd have to be a dog love to understand this - he was all tongue and wag!

 

The inevitable question comes up with friends, why don't you get another. You love dogs so much, they have to improve any life. Well, that would probably be true, but we're probably not going to outlive another dog, and that would just be unfair to the dog. And our kids and grandkids live an hour from us. We can get up an leave at any time and without any worry. And there's no worry about kennels and vets. Vet bills alone could put one of our grandkids through a year of college.

 

It's a constant struggle. We miss that tongue and tail, but freedom is important, too. And the exercise (Alex demanded five to six miles a day - hey, he was a terrier) kept me trim(mer) and left me no time to feel sorry fr myself. Owning a dog is a most pleasant responsibility. Worrying about them not so much. So here's to you Alex. We won't forget you...or Perky, Patches, and Max.Ach was different; each was the same from Sealeyham, to Wire Fox, to Norfolk, and then to Cairn. There's something missing from our lives but at the same time we just can't go through the final days again.

 

And yet, life doesn't seem complete...

 

If you want to read two marvelous books, I whole-heartedly recommend "The Gift of Pets: Stories Only a Vet Could Tell" and it's "sequel," "Ask the Animals: A Vet's-Eye View of Pets and the People They Love." I only wish he would write a third one.

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.

We said goodbye to Blue yesterday. She had two days left at a high-kill shelter in KY when we drove through the night from Chicago to save her from being gassed in a big metal box with god knows how many other dogs. It was the second time she had been left there in 6 months. Took longer to fill out the paperwork than to decide she was coming home. From the moment she hopped in the car with us, complete strangers and for 13+ yrs after that, just the most perfect dog. The unfairness of life didn't spare her. Blind by 8 yrs old and deaf for the last year and a half. Still, she never asked for a thing and we could not think of a single thing she'd ever done wrong. The most tranquil, loving and trusting dog I've ever known. Goodbye my sweet baby.

Amy's humans are first-time dog people. Amy, like everyone else who meets her, finds Blue irresistible.

Mama & Rocky always receive extra

attention, because, that's why .......;-)

 

That's not to say every-other temple dog

doesn't get their fair share of attention

as well. Belly rubs are a given 4 some.

They all have their own special needs.

 

Making plans for a run tomorrow as it's

time for their monthly medications that

ward off mange, heart worm and a long

list of other parasites. Looks like it maybe

a real wet, wild ride tomorrow ! Even now

the sky is very dark gray with heavy drizzle.

 

Important part- the temple dogs desperately

need their medications to survive in this

brutal, unforgiving jungle environment.
