Skyler, a family friend

Skyler Wiet is an American who worked in UN Thailand before, and became a close friend of our family, in which we have our love for animals as a bond. Besides that, Skyler is a Buddhist like us. He went to a temple with us, meditated with us and like I said, he loves animals like us. Skyler picked up dogs from the US for us(Brooke and Luna). He also flew to picked up the 2 chis,Masa and Patty, from Italy, Misty Meadow, for us. He's happy when our dogs win, he's sad when our dogs are sick or die.


Now Skyler is back in the US. He flew from Chicago to help Saiyai settle down when she just got to New York.

His family just lost an old dog recently and I just heard that his 20-year-old cat just passed away, too. Now his family only has their 3-legged dog left in the house .I won't say I'm sorry with the cat passing away because I'm sure she had been very happy in being a beloved one in his family for 20 years. But I'm sorry for him and his family for losing her. They're the people who still live and will always have more sorrow than those who passed away. She's looking at them from heaven.

This means a lot to me. Losing 2 of them in a matter of months is difficult, but I am grateful to have people close to me that help remember them like this. Thank you.

Thank you for your warm thoughts. Kahlua didn't like us much when she arrived 20 years ago as a "lost" baby. She learned to trust and love us and was a big part of our family. She passed in her dad's arms and with Skyler holding her "hand". we know she is in a pace where her old bones don't hurt and she has Haley and Skyler's cat, Apache, to welcome her.
The love of animals brings people together in an amazing ways-from all over the world. They give us far more than we could ever give them in return.
We are grieving but we will concentrate on loving our brave girl, Zoe, who is 13 and becoming more needy.

Thank you again for remembering Kahlua.
Give love to our "adopted" Thai babies.
