WAIW | The Stray Dog
I know I’ve been relatively quiet on here lately, and it kind of bothers me since I did feel like I was being rather active on the blog and social media for a bit. However, all that changed when I started a sit for the holidays that turned out to be far more stressful than expected. So, I didn’t get nearly as much work done as I had hoped, and that included blogging and keeping-up with the Joneses on social media. Thankfully, I did get a bit of a break after the sit when I took a quick trip to Kuala Lumpur to apply for a Thai visa, but I chose to use that time to explore KL and eat good food instead of sitting on my laptop.
And I don’t regret it.
In theory, I was going to get back into the swing of things when I started the next sit, which was once again a familiar one. Unfortunately, a number of things have changed since the last time I was here in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and this sit also involves more work than expected. Luckily, it’s work that involves trying to make the lives of a number of lovely dogs as good as possible, so it’s not exactly terrible. Granted, it still takes up a lot of my time and some things are being neglected (including this blog), but it’s worth it when I get to see some happy furry friends.
With that in mind, I thought I would take today’s Where Am I Wednesday episode to try and introduce you to one of the dogs that I’m attempting to make a friend. Unlike the other dogs here at the sit, this one is brand new and not exactly a part of the family. Sadly, they’re a stray and they’re not in the best shape. So, I’ve spent the last little while feeding them in an effort to gain their trust, and ideally the home owner and I will be able to get them to a shelter to find them a better home.
For now, I’m just working on getting them accustomed to my presence while they eat. If you’re interested in seeing what that entails, check out the video below.
