NR's Temple Dogs - Wat Khao Din, Hua Hin
Well, I thought it was about time I got off my backside and did another photo thread for TD. Problem is, I don't have much of a social life (hence all the time spent on here!) What to do?
Well for just over 2 months I've been visiting Wat Khao Din (on the road between Hua Hin & Pranburi) at least once a week to tend to their dogs. A Thai lady, Aor, got in touch with me, as she was so distressed at the state of the dogs in her local temple (which turned out to be Wat Khao Din). She, her husband & I talked with the Loong Por & asked for permission to treat & neuter the dogs. He was apprehensive at first - it turns out we weren't the first to offer help, but it had never actually come to anything before. We offered to start with 5 dogs &, if he was happy with the results, to carry on & do the rest.
This is Wat Khao Din, with Aor walking ahead of me. All pics (unless otherwise stated were taken today)

It's a lovely peaceful place. The dogs are pretty much universally friendly - a sign they are well taken care of. Many of them were afflicted with skin problems, though. Most of the treatment I've done has been for skin problems. I've also neutered 6 of the females & will do the others & I've vaccinated them all against doggy diseases & rabies.
