No, I'm not a dog person, but if you have to get a pet, I'd rather have a cat. Those are much easier. But yes, how is that? You live more spaciously and with a large garden and your wife wants a dog. “No, I don't want a dog and that's it!”

In the course of 2013, Mona passed away.

Why is the dog meat trade still so popular in South East Asia and Thailand in particular? I worked for a month at Soi Dog 2 weeks ago. An incredibly beautiful organization that helps stray dogs and cats. The entire organization runs on the basis of donations from people. The work these people do is as beautiful and as much needed as in countries such as Thailand. I don't understand why these people (and especially the government) don't see that this is really a problem?
