Dogs


Street Dogs are everywhere in Thailand.

Some are kinda nasty looking and sad, and some are really cute!

This is Ka-fay!  Sometimes he walks us to school.  He looks funny in this picture.

Another dog that lives on our street is less fortunate.  One of it's eyes is completely red and it basically looks like a zombie and smells like one too.  I'll get a picture of him if I can.

There are two words for dog in Thai. One is for a dog like Ka-fay, and the other is for one like the zombie dog. "Ma"  is the lower class/zombie dog.  But depending on the way you pronounce 'ma' you could also be saying 'come' (flat tone) or 'horse' (high tone).  
Here is some artwork that I saw about dogs at the CMU art center:


These two paintings are titled "The Dark Side Of Globalization"....

At least they don't really eat dogs in Thailand though.  Maybe in some Karen tribes... 
Actually here is a picture I took a while back.  It looks like there was a dog meat trade, but supposedly not anymore!





Coming soon.  Cats!
