Thai Pets

We noticed that a fair lot of the businesses around the area in Thailand had pets, and that they seemed to take great care of them. They all had nice coats, weren't too thin or fat, and were pretty friendly. Kind of like the Thai people, heh.




This is one of the dogs that our hotel had running around. There was another one, sort of German Shepherd-looking mutt, but we didn't get a picture of her.



The dog's name is Dog, according to the collar. It could just be the collar asserting which species it should be put on, though. Dog almost always came to hang around our table and sat or lay patiently, waiting for scraps. He never really begged. Maybe a little, but nothing you couldn't disregard. We never fed him scraps, though, because we could tell he always got fed our leftovers in the kitchen and we didn't want to teach him any bad habits.

In the D. Time restaurant, I saw they had a cat and her two kittens, and based on the fact that the employees didn't chase them away, and by their seeming good health, I assumed they were pets of the restaurant. So I was finally able to play with some kitties, which I haven't done since I left the US. The cats in Korea are all feral.

Here is a video of the kittens playing:

Isn't that precious?

Here is a video of the kitties eating their meal of rice. I thought cooked rice was kind of a weird thing to feed them, but I guess it has a similar consistency to canned cat food. Kent says most pet foods are based in rice, anyway. They seemed to enjoy it.
