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.

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.

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.

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!

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. -------

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!

temple dogs are cared for. Nuns will be resupplied with

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

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

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.
Thank You.

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.
