December 19, 2007 | 13 Comments
I went and checked on Mao an hour ago. Quarter to midnight. He was very weak. And just lifted his head and looked at me. So I lifted him into my lap to see if I could get some fluid into him. But that was a no go. So I just sat there on the […]

Mao the Mutt is not doing to well. Yesterday afternoon he refused to eat his food. And today he has only had a few mouthfuls. And he is not drinking very much either. What little he ate this morning he puked up again. And he just lays in his cool spot sleeping, not very interested […]

Mao the Mutt had his first serious meeting with life as it is today. We had just fed him, and left him alone to enjoy his food. When we heard him scream in terror and pain from the yard. I ran outside, to find a large bitch standing over him. She had him cornered […]

Our electrician is finishing up the job as I write this. He actually did a good job of it. Except for a minor detail. The grounding of the fuse box was a tad strange, and I am glad I caught it.
I saw him fix a little 1.5mm diameter wire to the earth connector in the […]

Making Rice

Last night Nan suddenly decided it was harvest time. So we motored down the road, found a harvester crew, and they finished cutting her 7 Rai of rice an hour or so later. They dumped the rice on the road outside the house. And this morning we spread it all out on large netting sheets […]

Say hello to “The Mutt”. He is only 11 days old, but his mummy does not have any milk for him, so he decided to come and stay with us instead. He chose to tell us that when I picked him up and the little bastard promtly peed on me.
