Her name is Kao – meaning white in Thai. She just had 8 pups.

I know I have a tendency to drop off right off the blogosphere and come right back re-appearing out from thin air. But I’ve been busy. Real busy. Married busy. Just bought a condo busy. Running a new cafe business busy. As well as a host of business problems because my bank didn’t bother to mention they changed their wire transfer code.

Oh, also our one and only employee at our cafe quit without notice. Right on the same week of our wedding.

So it has been a stressful end of year but so far this new year is looking up. And luckily I have a really good friend who made it all possible. Without him I would’ve been screwed big time.

Did I mention I got married? Yup. I know earlier on this blog I always mention my wife. But we did the whole ceremony thing with monks along with family and friends. It was a traditional Thai wedding.

Funny thing is marriage in Thailand is just as easy as starting a business in this country. You don’t really need paperwork. No marriage certificate. Though you can get one at local municipal office.

So what’s the proof of marriage Thailand? Wedding pictures and everyone that came to the wedding are your witness. While eating dinner one night with my close family friends’ from Hong Kong that was the way it was done in China also. But that was in the olden days and won’t fly anymore today in China.

What else is new? Kao a female soi dog that hangs around my mother in law’s restaurant gave birth to 8 new pups. As you can see above she snug and tug inside the cage where her 8 little ones are nursing.

Originally, Kao gave birth under a small overpass bridge not far from the restaurant. Which was the same place she had her last batch of pups which all died. Not sure how but some say some small Caymans might’ve found Kao’s nest and snagged her pups while she was away.

And so, me, my wife and her kid sister named Nooda devised a plan to snatch the pups and take them back to their mother’s restaurant. Nooda climbed through a hole under the overpass, grabbed all the pups and we took them back to the cage.

My wife’s father then pushed Kao inside so she can see her babies. We were worried that Kao would take them back to the overpass. So we had to lock the cage and keep Kao in where she can safely nurse the puppies.

Kao was probably happier too as she received more share of food so she could provide more milk for her babies.

It was a little adventure grabbing the pups because it was dark where they were hiding out. And we couldn’t do it while Kao was inside protecting her babies. So we had to wait until Kao left before we (okay it was Nooda alone) went in and snagged the puppies out.

Kudos to Nooda. If not for her the puppies might’ve perished.
