having your life shattered.

Can you post up a photo of your once handsome dog, HH?

thanks NPT I have thought about it a lot,but to be honest I don't think the wife can put up with the GREEDY,CHEATING,INCOMPETENT,WORRY AND GRIEF THAT SHE IS SUFFERING,CAUSED MAINLY BY VETS WHO DONT CARE A FYK.ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONE,only your MONEY.

HH, I get the Vet thing and thats just part of living in Thailand, at times it feels like one long scam avoidance but if that is really the problem preventing you getting another dog and i have no doubt you've investigated this, there must be reputable vets - if you can focus on and solve this then go for it. Its worth spending a bit of time focussed on clearing this hurdle.

there are some which someone on the other planet posted for us,[TV] in the pet section he was their mascot voted by the late PATSY CAT who was also known on this forum.
I will see what the wife can do on facebook when she comes back from swimming.

When I posted on here as Jeremia I was living in a village up North and owned a "Golden".She really was a very good companion whether sitting with me in the fields with the local farmers or just hanging around doing bugger all, It seemed that doing bugger all was something we both enjoyed and excelled at..but the in-laws just saw a money machine and one day brought a male Golden over for breeding. I just said no and locked her in the house...A couple of weeks later she was poisoned .....I won't say more because it is just too bloody upsetting...Although I am sure if I were to browse some of my old posts I am sure there will be pics of her somewhere...

Anyway, life moves on and I am elsewhere and much happier. Last year a kitten just appeared one day, blind and unable to walk properly. My neighbour had a regular vet so I got them to collect the kitten and I gave her 1,000 baht to either kill it or cure it.........So now I am the owner of a very happy and healthy neutered male cat ..
Life really is bollocks sometimes but you just have to carry on and find happiness elsewhere...

i to found myself in this situation,loosing a loved one has become my worst nightmare,caused by the people who are supposed to care about the welfare of animals,
buddists,VETS, local people, but in realality they only care about theirselves.its coming up to 18months since we lost our boy and the greif is still there.
tomorrow we go to K9 PET RESCUE CENTER IN KORAT,to take food for those unfortunate to finf themselves thown out like TRASH.by the very people that the dogs loved.
I cannot find words to describe these so called humans,this has made me a very bitter man.
I can relate to your story about the kitten,2months age a couple of our neighbours asked us would we like this bird[ A MYNAH] well for those who think reincarnation is dreams,well this bird I believe is part of our SAM.he loves the wife and is a bundle of joy,all day he eats,shits,sings,talks as if he has lived here all his life.
I havnt named him SAM just George a mynah bird I knew in the 60's.

Just to be sure it's Sam, ask him what you gave him for his last meal. He should be able to tell you.

pon-yang-kham beef,chicken breast and smart heart fit and firm.
George had,tropical mix,cherry bits,crushed apple and papaya.
both SAM and George never left a bit.
this morning the wife had to feed the doves NOWT left for them.

[cyrille]

Best thing to do is ask him how he’s feeling.

If he says ‘ROUGH!’ then that settles it.

[headhunter]

sam never woofed,so I am teaching George to howlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllll.

[misskit]

tomorrow we go to K9 PET RESCUE CENTER IN KORAT,

Look for Sam at the dog rescue. He will show up sooner or later.

My fluffy 15 year old Thai mutt passed away and broke my heart. It was just a few months later I heard a howling at my gate. A street dog looking just like my Rex was there making the racket. I took him in. Nine years later Buddy is with me back in the USA. Has his place right in front of the fireplace. A loved dog, he is.

I don't know if your a mind reader,but when our boy passed away I said to the wife,THE ONLY TIME I WOULD TAKE ANOTHER DOG,is if it came to our gate and HOWLED.

[tweedle dee]

Man i would hate to try and sit and have a beer with a bloke such as you.

[Hugh Cow]

Interesting and cogent first post, magic. Halibuts can make very loyal and loving pet fish.

And you can eat them with chips when they die. Win Win.

gut-wrenching

[headhunter]

seeing these poor dogs is not for the faint hearted,but they are all well looked after,with food in their bellies.
although this was my first visit[wont be the last] they all wagged their tails when i approached.
LOVE ME LOVE MY DOG.

[See Will]

One of mine had 4 years ago a brawl with some strays. Due to his fur and he is a Bang Kaew - German Shepherd mix he didn't show any signs or wounds. 4 days later he was laying under the shed and just lifted his tail when I was calling him.
As I pulled him out of his hideout he could not even hold his head anymore.
I was gutted and knew I need to put him down.
My wife went hysterical as I came with he gun and broke down. I decided then to drive from Rayong to a well know Pattaya dog Hospital.
They gave him jabs shaved him completely and we saw the whole desaster. Holes everywhere, black meat.
The doc told us it would take 4 week minimum and the chance is 10%.

Because of my wife in tears I agreed to give him the first class treatment.. It took 2 weeks he was the first time awake and just wanted to hang in my wife's arm. She was crying for 3 hrs in the cage hugging him until he slept again. Then he became better, I made every day a portion of his loved liver patty to mix the pills under.
After 4 weeks he was the old fruitcake, didn't like anyone beside one trainee nurse and us.
She could even treat his wounds without narcotics and if she hurt him he tried to push he hand away with his back leg..

After 6 weeks he was ready to go home and today I still say that this were the best 130.000 baht ever spent.

For such low lifes like DF I can only hope that one day somebody comes into your house at night and leaving a more damaged brain behind as you now already got.

Headhunter, there is a Puppy waiting for you.
Go for a walk when you have time and he will find you one day. Mine are both straying dog puppies and after a good training my wife loves them to bits.

my only wish that we cpuld have had a vet like you,who not only saved his life but thought more about the welfare of the dog more than the money.
I do know about the ups and downs of owning dogs as I was a greyhound owner/trainer in the uk.for 20yrs.but not once did we ever encounter vets like the ones that treated our beloved,DRIVEN BY GREED.
as for having another I and mrs.HH cannot suffer anymore pain.
but strangely enough some old people living not far from us asked us would we like to have their bird [mynha] as they could no longer give him the care that they need.
yes we took him,and my believe is the this bird [same colour's] as our boy is a reincarnation of our beloved SAM.the monk who came and done the ceremony said he will come back to us.was he right or just bs.well the bird eats,sings,talks and loves the wife and just like our boy wants to go to bed at 6pm.every night.just like my boy used to go with me every evening.so I do believe he has taken his [sams] place in this world,it is 18months since our boy passed away and I still have a problem coming to terms with the loss.me and mrs.HH have been together for over 35yrs.and he [sam] was the only edition we had in Thailand.
it does give us some comfort to go and visit the shelter but seeing so many that have been cast aside after giving their devoted love and loyalty to their so called owners is as I say GUT WRENCHING.so if there is nothing more for me to do as long as I live I will try and keep them happy and well fed.
