Hi,

Someplace in the weekend, there was light rain for a very short time.  It’s mostly been the same thing every day, just the clouds are different.

The ‘Old School Friday’ song was “Western Movies” by The Olympics.  Here’s an ‘Easy Monday’ tune you should all remember:  “__, yesterday my life was filled with rain.  __, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.  Now the dark days are done, and the bright days are here, my __ one shines so sincere.  __, one so true, I love you.”  Hint:

Released in ’66, the title is a name, but is also used as a weather condition.  There, I’ve said too much.

Saturday morning we went to Chivit Thamma Da for coffee and scones.  As we were leaving, we saw Joakim, one of the owners, and as we stood talking, his dog Nam Kok came over.  JaiDee and Nam Kok had a very mellow greeting and seemed like they were ready to go cruise the restaurant.  Just then, Joakim’s two little Shitzus came rushing down the outside stairs, barking at JaiDee.  Nam Kok jumped in front of JaiDee and barked at the little ones.  It was clear that he didn’t want them messing with his friend.  We all were quite impressed by this.  Joakim told us that anytime we wanted to go away for a weekend, JaiDee was welcome to stay with them.  

TongDee continues to get better.  We can tell that she’s still traumatized so we’re giving her all the space she needs.  She is gradually coming closer to the house when we’re not outside.  TongDee follows Natcha around outside and this evening she came when Lisa called her.  She and JaiDee have been near each other through a big window, but nothing really close.  Every time he wants to initiate a greeting or play, she bares her fangs and growls at him.  She was at the shelter for one month, and was hanging out with two males, so we know that in time she’ll loosen up and they’ll be friends.  He is more than ready to play.

Today’s photo was taken at Browney Pet World.  

Sunday we had lunch at The Wanderer with our friend Lisa and her dad, Edwin.  JaiDee was a little gentleman, letting us eat and talk without too much ‘busy’.  At one point, I took him for a walk and we went down to the river.  That’s where the geese stay and he’d never seen them.  They are the alarm system if anyone enters the property from the river.  They didn’t see us when we first went down, but on the way back I could hear them quietly talking amongst themselves.  Then they moved closer to the side of their enclosure near us.  JaiDee was totally taken with the 5 big birds.  He didn’t move.  I finally had to drag him away, and through it all they didn’t sound the alarm.  I’m sure that next time we go, he’ll want to go and see the geese again.  I will be sure to take my phone so I can get some photos.

Have a Great Week.

                        Peace,

                                  Danny
