Bull Terrier And Ban Keaw Mix. For Adoption.

Meet Billy. Bull terrier male, 8 months old.
Family didn't know what they got themselves into when buying him as a pup. Didn't had a clue  about the Bull-terrier breed, or any dog  (mix) breed for that matter.

Totally sweet and affectionate with people and with children, but not so with other dogs. Except for his girlfriend, Sheila, who's for adoption as well.
Not so good as guard dog, as will invite anyone in it who brings sausage or 5-star chicken.

Loves the clicker training, but concentration span still quite short.

Sheila, female, approx. 1 1/2 years old female. About 40 cm high at shoulders.
Former owner got fed up with having a pet dog, and decided to dump her. She was raised together with the 5 years old son of the owner.

Strong-willed dog, really lovely with  the people she knows. Loves clicker training and doing activities where she needs to use her brains.
As a real Ban Keaw, initially quite wary of strangers. Could be good as guard dog.


Both dogs are not suitable for household with cats and/or chicken. Good rat catchers, though.

If interested, or would like more information on either dog, please, pm Nienke

Very Friendly Shih Tzu. For Adoption

Shih Tzu, 1 years old, male, named Prince. Looking for a good home.

Dumped by the owners, who 'loved' him so much till they needed to do a little more effort for him than was expected.  ^_^

Prince is an easy-going fun-loving dog, who enjoys both people and doggy company. Cats, not sure, but don't think that will be a big problem.
Is in good health.


Prince is currently in Chiang Mai.

If interested or like more information on Prince, please, pm Nienke.

Major Pet Food Recall

2012-05-07 09:19:04

Worried about Salmonella when feeding a raw food diet to your pet, thinking you don't walk into that risk when feeding commercial pet food, think twice!
This recall includes the brands Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers, Premium Edge, and Taste of the Wild. Those are the 'better' dog food brands available in Chiang Mai.

If you have one of these brands at home, or are planning to buy a bag, check the expiry date. See this link for more info.

Blinky Bill

2012-04-27 16:04:52

Dear All,

I just received a dreadful and shocking message of Blinky Bill aka Ian's oldest daughter Jessica, who passes on the following message of her Aunt Caz..

This is Caroline .... , Ians sister. Ian was tragically killed Wednesday afternoon in a plane crash in Borneo.
His funeral is near his home in Java this Sunday the 29th of April in the afternoon.
If you would like to attend please contact his boss Greg Newberry on +62 eight one one19six seven 51
Please call me if you would like to speak to me on +61425 seven zero  four  520
Ian was a much loved father, son, husband, brother and friend who will be terribly missed by us all.
May his memory live on forever in all of our hearts.



I was already wondering why it was so quiet from BB's side on Thaivisa. Now I know. :(

I remember when I signed up on Thaivisa, BB first thought I was a man, and reacted sometimes pretty tough to my posts. Once he figured out that i was not, the tone of his posts changed. Later when I met him for real, I think it was during Thaivisa's first party at Tuskers, I teased him about it.

I've popped into BB only a few times at Tuskers and Mad Dog, where he always acted like a true gentleman towards me. He was a very kind huge man with a small heart.

Dear Ian, Rest in Peace. Your passing is a real loss!
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
