Daku's new friend, Jago at 3 months old.Hi,
It appears that all of Thailand is going through this heatwave. It's actually hotter in other places, but that doesn't make it feel any cooler here. We spent the morning in town and had a surprise visitor in the afternoon.
I got a few correct responses to the 'Bad Ass Bass' tune. There should be more. The bass set the tone.
"Tried to please her, she only played one night stands (repeat). She was a __ __, Sunday driver, yeah! It took me so long to find out, and I found out." Clue: Here today, gone tomorrow. Don't trip if you don't remember.
We started our errands early this morning. Well, we left around 9:30 for the bank. This was the first time doing a particular transaction without the help of our friend Bobby. The service was just as efficient and friendly as always. Our next stop was our old friend Big C. We hadn't been there in over a week and there were things we needed. While we were shopping they played a really cool R&B set in between some obnoxious commercials. Some days I wish I could get a set list, but it's never gonna happen.
Central Plaza is right across the highway from Big C so it was a natural progression to just go there next. (Ha) The plan was to put more money on our phones, get some maple syrup from Top's, and try to see our friend Eddy and get his new email and phone number. The mall doesn't open until 11am on week days so we went to Top's market first. By the time we finished the mall was open and we got our phones 'topped up'. Eddy likes the Starbuck's at Central Plaza and is usually there every morning having his coffee and reading the paper. Today I guess we were too early, we didn't see him.
Just about the time we were starting our 'after nap coffee' the doorbell from the gate sounded. As the gate opened I didn't recognize the truck that was pulling in. Not until the driver had parked and lowered the tinted window did I realize it was our friend Gary. I also had a strong feeling that he was not alone. I was right. Gary had his new dog with him. I don't remember the name of the breed, but 'Jago' (Jay-go) is a slender, long-legged puppy that has an almost Grayhound quality. At 6 months old he's about half his adult height and now he's almost as tall as Daku. After he got comfortable with us we introduced him to Daku. Jago jumped straight up in the air. He hid behind Gary, the truck and whatever else he could see. Daku kept approaching him and they finally started playing a sort of 'tag' running game. Daku loves to play so it was big fun for him. Then BamBam came out and was not having any of it. She came out growling and went for Jago in a very aggressive way. BamBam started chasing him and Daku took off and managed to put himself between Jago and BamBam. Jago escaped harm and we put BamBam back in the house. That was about all the puppy could take in one outing and he was ready to get back in the truck. We're going to plan a play date during the cooler time of day so they can have fun for a longer time.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
