Chonburi – On Friday (July 23rd), rescue workers were notified that a kitten was stuck under a pickup truck, crying for help, and was unable to escape. The pickup truck was stopped on the road in Bang Sai in the middle of the highway, with it unclear exactly how the kitten had become stuck inside the lower part of the vehicle.

 

The junior rescue worker volunteered to climb under the truck and reach the kitten as the “smallest” rescue team member.

 

Mr. Nantapop Tagojeennit, a rescue worker and the father of the junior rescuer, 11-year-old Nattapakan Tagojeennit, told The Pattaya News reporters, “He likes to go out with me when we go out for rescue jobs and is an official junior rescue worker, a program we have for kids and teenagers who want to learn valuable life-saving skills for the future.”

A stray moggy had a penchant for nesting her multiple litters of kittens in the spare wheel suspended under the rear of my pickup.  It was a daily routine to exit them by squirting the garden hose in there every morning, but no matter what, they returned.  Once she even dragged them into the engine bay and nested there . Luckily my daughter saw the moggy bail out as I started the engine - I raised the hood and the four kittens were hopping all over the place and only just avoiding the fan blades but I managed to get them out.

 

The daily routine then consisted of raising the hood as well as hosing down the spare wheel well. Then a fortunate thing happened - some lowlife stole my spare wheel, and the moggy never came back. I've since upgraded the truck - first thing I did was adios the spare wheel.

Just removed a nest of chipmunks from on top of my  engine block......they moved in there over the space of 2 days I didn't use the truck. Had my Mrs not noticed they would have got fried when I used the vehicle. The mother came and took 2 away but left the smallest one behind ...Mrs has raised it and now wastes money on cages and other stuff, but is very enamored with it now, as it runs all over her. 

Spare wheels that clamp under trucks need a padlock here in Pattaya.....
