Turbo prop flight from Manila to El Nido, camera mounted on tail, set to 'Paradise' by Coldplay.

Gabi (Gabrielle) is still nursing Coco (black kitten). The vet told me I need to force Coco to be weened. Right. After a 6-7 week absence, Gigi (white kitten from the same litter) was adopted the day after the vet told me to ween Coco. Gabi was confused. She didn't fully remember Gigi, but she kept smelling Gigi, then Coco, then Gigi, then Coco again like she was confused. Over a couple of days she mostly accepted Gigi. At the same time, she stopped feeding Coco, so win-win, right? Then, this morning I rolled over and found Gabi breastfeeding both Coco and Gigi. All three seem quite content regardless of what the Vet says. We'll try again tomorrow.

The baby Thida tries to kiss her cat Miss PG (Pattaya Girl). PG is a great feline ambassador, braving energetic toddlers, but staying close and not running away in fear. Thida has learned slow blink, to let PG smell her hand first, and is working on proper petting technique.

The life of a Husky owner, a dog that demands incredible attention.

Wichienmat (traditional Siamese) cat playing with her toy...leaps, bounds, and falls off bed. This was shot in Bangkok, Thailand. Cat is named Ojao or OJ.

This is one of several intensive care units at Thonglor. This happens to be on the 4th floor, where my cat PG underwent surgery to clear the passageway in her throat. As you can see and hear, some of the dogs in this ICU are in dire condition. There is always at least one vet on station at all times, and then numerous vet techs. These animals are receiving the best and most advanced care available in SouthEast Asia. My cat underwent a CAT scan, then they inserted a fiber optic scope to investigate the cause of the blockage in her airway. Then they inserted a special type of balloon to clear the blockage. The entire procedure was recorded digitally in her nasal cavity and airway. I can upload a video of the procedure if requested. https://thonglorpet.com/en/home

Cessna 172 take-off from Bang Phra airport then fly-by Pattaya beaches, Ko Lan, Ko Sichang, Jomtien, and around Chon Buri, Thailand.

This is the lobby for the main branch of Thonglor International Pet Hospital located near Rama IX highway. They have a coffee shop, restaurant, pharmacy, concierge, reception, waiting area, day clinic/admitting offices, gift shop/pet supply store/medical supply store on ground floor of 7 story dedicated facility. This place is much nicer than many hospitals for humans I've seen. Pets are brought in from around the regions for treatment here. https://thonglorpet.com/en/home
