A few TV members have been involved in this story behind the scenes .... including Shaggy, Sunshine and some Samui members and non members !

There have been several dozen emails and PM's over the last couple of weeks or so! But a good end result....With special thanks to Sales and Marketing manager, Victoria, of http://www.miskawaan.com who footed the initial bill...

An old horse on Samui, that needed some veterinary care, meet with the vet today.... here are a few images!

As suspected it has worms, and two initial injections and a course of pills to be taken over the next few days.... It will take two weeks, to work and the vet will visit again!

The provincial vet who looks after animals from Lizards to Elephants on Samui, Phangan and Koh Toa...

Feeding pills to a horse is not easy! He spate it out a couple of times, even covered with a banana!

Son of owner of the 25 year old horse!

I would imagine all Provinces have such Veterinary services.... not easy for us farangs to track down! The Thai staff at Miskawaan Resort helped with that

The horse is down the road from me, so will will keep an eye on progress and post improvements !

His shirt says Sal-La-Wat- Gom-Pasu-Sat. Department of Livestock Development, type DLD Thailand, they home page comes up, all provinces have one,as for the quality of the vets,I will pass on that,looks like you struck lucky and got a good one.

[pigeonjake]

enough of building back to the pigeons,

my first pue white one, and one with a white wing but on the other side its chocalate, but very beautiful bird, ive got another one like it but in red,

the pump shed got started. but it got to hot so i downed tools for today, there another day tomorow not even started,

and had some wire left over, perfect for long bean,

and last but not least, mac little managory, she goes round and when a chicken or duck leave the nest with the babies, sometimes they leave a couple eggs that are good, so she put them in the incubator, so we end up with this,, we have just hatched another 15 karkies, we need more as the waiting list for eggs is getting bigger,,lol

This is what you end up with when you don't reside full-time in LOS , when you put your trust in people !

When you pay a shoot load of money for other people to take care of your hard earned . your land , your crop .

Drugs are killing Isaan , Mother nature has enough on her hands , this land was razed by our " Caretaker"

From a crop worth 40 times its market , to a piece of dirt once again , still they got paid . We never did !

Be careful guys , I know first hand .

[Goompa]

Here is another angle of Heartbreak , I purposely left in the strobing effect in the sky to amplify my distain , it signifies my frustration !

I believe its a way of healing .
