I went to see the guard who is taking care of a whole bunch of street dogs inside the abandoned market hall at Pattaya Bazaar. His name is Chatree. I brought him 10 kg rice. One of the bitches gave birth to a couple of puppies but Chatree could only safe two of them. The dogs are always excited to see me even if I haven’t been there for a couple of weeks. I hope I can help Chatree a bit more as soon as I get something going with Tony.
Ronnie's leg wounds have healed, but the surgery seems to have failed thoroughly. He can’t bend his knee and is dragging his leg. I have to see the vet again to discuss what we can do.
Gina and Holly are doing well and are growing by the day. They are very attached to the house and don’t like to leave it. Babe however likes to explore the neighborhood but I’m not worried since she is an experienced street dog.
Every other day I go to see Paco and Lucy in Soi 14. Paco is always happy to see me coming and wants to go with me when I’m leaving, but that’s not possible. His eyes are looking better now, the conjunctiva is no longer red and he is not so much wheezing and sneezing any more. I have to observe his condition and plan to get his blood tested in a few weeks. Lucy still doesn’t show any symptoms at all.
Old Man has recovered from the accident so far, the injured eye has healed but he is now probably visually impaired. Diana needs to be spayed but I don’t have the money for that. I hope I can get a donation from Tony. I haven’t seen Doggy for months and since one week Blacky is not showing up either.
I made friends with Harry who appears frequently in the underground parking lot where I park my scooter during the working time hours. He is a very friendly fellow. Recently he showed up with a bitch that inexplicably seemed to be excited to see me since she overjoyed jumped up on me right from our first encounter. It will be necessary to get her spayed to spare her the same experience as Cora that had seven puppies in the parking lot from which I’ve seen remaining two now staying with Chatree.
I have been with Hollie, Gina and Ronnie to the clinic to get their blood checked. The result is that Holly and Gina suffer from sarcoptic mange and Ronnie has demodicosis mange. Holly and Gina get a shot and for Ronnie I get tablets. Holly and Gina are going to get a shot every week for six weeks.
The vet is telling me that Ronnie’s leg stiffness can be treated with massage. My first attempt to gently touch his leg back home fails since Ronnie doesn’t like the treatment and is snapping at me.
I met Lyndy Moore Eggleton. She introduced herself as a craniosacral therapist and told me that she is looking for people who care for stray animals. I tell her about Ronnie's problem and she says that she would like to take a look at his leg.
I have been with Babe, Ronnie, Gina and Hollie at the vet. Gina and Hollie got their second shot and I also received antibiotics for them. Ronnie needs to continue taking the medication and Babe receives preventive treatment for mange.
Lyndy visits us and treats Ronnie. As she is very careful and patient with him he endures the treatment he receives. Lyndy wishes to continue the treatment on the 27th.
I’m back to the clinic with Hollie and Gina. Hollie's condition has deteriorated. The treatments for Holly, Gina and Ronnie continue.
Lyndy tells me that she wants me to pick her up from an hotel in Soi Khao Talo on the 28th. I’m at the hotel at the appointed time. Since Lindy is not waiting for me at the lobby I ring her up but she does not answer. I try it again after a couple of minutes and a woman answers my call who introduces herself as Lyndy’s friend. This woman tells me that Lyndy had died, probably already on Sunday or Monday. She has been found in her bed, apparently passed away peacefully.
