Dogs, one of my favorite animals! Some of the dogs here are family dogs (my grandpuppies!), others are dogs from a local dog shelter here in Chiang Mai. A few are beautiful dogs I have met over the years.
If you are considering bringing a dog into your life (and I would highly recommend it!) consider adopting a dog from a local animal shelter. It has been my experience that you will find these dogs to be so full of love and gratitude when you adopt them and give them a loving home.
Great! Not only are you leaving YOUR dogs outside, but if you have “grand dogs”, you’ve let them reproduce! Aren’t there enough unwanted dogs in Thailand?
Well Sarah, as it turns out our dogs prefer to be outside, they have not once tried to come in the house. We live in Thailand, and have beautiful weather all year long. As far as letting them “reproduce”, they are my “grandpuppies” as they belong to my son, not me. All three of my children have dogs, and they are all of their dogs are my “grandpuppies”. And no, we do not all live together and have a bunch of dogs, my kids are all grown up and have their own homes, and are all loving, responsible dog owners.
As a matter of fact there are a lot of unwanted dogs in Thailand, which is why I support Care for Dogs, a local shelter that helps homeless dogs find homes, provide medical care for them, as well as spay and neuter service. One of our dogs, Coco, came from this wonderful shelter, fixed, of course, and she is a wonderful, sweet and happy dog.
