Totally weak. It's your responsibility. Now if you're going to offer pups for free, that's a different story, but to cast off these dogs because they won't/can't breed for you anymore is BAD, VERY BAD.
Cut the OP some slack. If he/she wanted to take the easy way out, he could have taken them out back and clubbed them. (Google Michael Vick if you want to know how that works for dogs that aren't useful any more) Or, they could be on tonight's menu somewhere. Instead, he's taking some effort to find them good homes.
I salute his efforts and wish him good luck.
Great looking dogs, by the way. I'd love to take them both, but I'm in an apartment downtown.

Quite amusing to follow this thread. Don't all you socalled experts out there understand that the OP's wife has got exacly the life, she dreamt of, when moving to the UK. She don't need to speak English, or at least very little. Getting to spend most of her time with people from Thailand, can eat her somtam on the floor, without being told: "that's not considered civilized". She can send 30.000 baht to the village every month, enough for her parents to have a good life and see her 2 kids with Somchai through school. Don't you understand, she has won the lottery all for the very small price of spending a couple of hours a day with her husband ! You all want to "save" her, not realizing that she are in no need of all your wellmeaning western advice.

Quite a lot of women lose out too, Naam. You are under the assumption that a woman doesnt provide in a marriage. Maybe the mens experiences here of their wives have been that of kept women, providing nothing, nor bringing up kids, zero, nada, and just there to spend and take their partners money.... ....?

My best mate ( friend) comes from Thailand. Meet her in AUS.
As for finding a good friend in Thailand, mine just happened to show up
at the front door.
His name is Fred and he is very close to me as he understands
the aussie lingo and is very happy when he see me.
A dog can be a man's best friend.

I find you a bit crazy with saying he should have bought an IPAD, maybe you got cash to spare but the OP has not. Might be the same when you buy an IPAD for someone and i say you should have given a IMAC xxxx (dont know them that well). Generous has nothing to do with how much you spend but, how much you spend in relation to what you can spend.
A poor rice farmer donating 1000 bt might be much more generous then a rich guy donating 10.000. Also by giving to much right away you set a wrong example.

As I just mentioned in a previous post, I agree that being generous really has nothing to do with monetary value. Regarding the Ipad, that was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. If a computer has no internet connection, it's near useless to a kid these days. I don't know if some of the old guys here are aware, but kids today are much more computer savvy than adults. My point is if a computer has outlived it's usefulness to an older guy (i.e., the OP), then it sure as heck won't be of much use to a young person.
pretty much all computers from around 1998+ have been abe to connect to internet and many are wifi enabled
a 5 year old computer would be a great gift to a poor kid with no computer at all

Eyeball corruption v Taste corruption.....
Walk into a bar where there is an ugly old bat serving and after eight pints she will look a whole lot better then when you got there.
Come and live in Thailand and the beer tastes like piss but eight years later it tastes a whole lot better than when you got here !

I struggle with these friends of friends stories of those reaking 15% interest a month.
you are not the loan ranger here.
Its called taking advantage of a persons situation.....that situation is usually simply being poor and unable to make ends meet.....to push them further into that or to take their possessions as a result of it has to be one of the career paths on the lower end of the scale.
its called " business " in most countries
lending money is the same as any other job
if people put their car or house up for loan and dont re-pay
is it wrong for the lender to take the car as its now legally his ?
banks kick people out of their homes every day ,nobody says operating a bank is morally bad or wrong
its a tough lesson to lose a house or a car but people should stop carelessly borrowing and it wouldnt happen
We are talking about exorbitant rates...the diference between people that charge 200% per year to those that charge anything up to 50%.
Taking someones land because you could not pay back the loan at 200% is not same same as banks that foreclose on you at 6%
i dont agree with it either but the people that take dodgy loans are more than likely the same people the banks woud refuse to lend to
so they end up using loan sharks (the legal and illegal kind ) because thats their only option
the loan shark charges a higher interest ,but he also has more to lose since these people who cant get loans from banks
are probably in the worst group for failure to make re-payments

Seems you dont have much experience about loans. Banks in the West (and here) have rules and check income so they are sure people are able to repay. They make sure that people don't get in over their head. Yes it does happen but in general the idea is to prevent this.
This is totally different from the modus opperandi of the money lenders here.
you must have "missed " the global recession that turned the economy upside down ...........
i can assure you ,banks will lend easily and they are not forgiving if your circumstance change
when everyone lost their jobs in europe and america and overnight their 500,000 EURO home
couldnt even be sold for 200,000k and they had signed the mortgage to pay back 500k with 30
years interest on a property that now valued at 200k .....
added to that most people were forced to take a paycut IF they were LUCKY enough to keep their jobs .....
