See Fah....Where are you????

See-Fah is a blue female poodle toy, who was sold on the street while
she still had milk on her nipples. It meant that she just gave birth
and I didn't even know if the puppies weaned yet before they were
taken away from her. I looked at the weak puddle toy, who had very sad
eyes and asked for her name from the seller, who looked reluctant and
seemed to not even know the name of the dog. I thought to myself that
if I let the dog there, she would become worse than she already was. I
bought her without knowing what to do with her because I did not breed
Poodle. I call her See-Fah, which means blue, just like her color.

At my office, I posted a notice looking for someone to take care of
the dog. My secretary told me that there was a colleague, who wasn't
an employee at the company but she was an event organizer, wanted a
dog. She wanted a small size dog that can be her child's friend
because her child wanted it and she wanted her kid to learn how to
take care of a dog. I decided to call that person to come take a look
at See-Fah. "Ko" came with a son. Her son liked See Fah very much. Koh
seemed fine and asked to adopt See Fah so I gave it to her. In my
heart, I did not hope that she will love See Fah deeply and
unconditionally. I wished See Fah would have a better life than what she
had before. I hoped "love" among them would grow and grow.

On that day, my secretary, assistants, all the editor team and I
watched See Fah riding in Koh car until the car was driven away.
Everyone waived and went back to the tables without saying anything. I
did not feel relief but I promised I will go visit. I told Koh that if any day that Koh and herfamily do not wish to have See Fah anymore, I'm willing to take her
back.

After that, Koh contacted the company about works and she came to have
meetings many times. Every time I asked about See Fah, Koh said "she
is fine"

One day, I told Koh I wanted to go visit See Fah. Koh told me See Fah was
at the other province with Koh's parents. I thought it was strange
since at the beginning Koh told me she wanted a dog for her son. Thus,
I insisted I want to go visit her in the other province. Koh looked
frighten and told me to wait in Bangkok because in about 1 month, Koh
would bring See Fah back to Bangkok so I could go visit. Time passed
more than a month, my secretary and a few assistants agreed to go
visit See Fah at Koh's parents' house in the other province. We called
Koh to ask for direction so we could drive there. Koh was scared and
told me that See Fah was lost from the house. I was shocked. My heart
almost stopped beating. I asked Koh if she was lost for a long time
yet. Koh told me it wasn't that long. So I thought about going to her
parent's house still. Also, I printed out notices for a lost dog
because I thought if she was just lost not long ago, there might be a
way to find her.

Once Koh realized that I did not give up, Koh told me ( I do not want to
use the word "confess" because the word "confess" is for a truth but I
don't know what is real, what is not about whatever Koh said to me)
that in fact, she was lost from the Bangkok house but at first she
told me See Fah was at the other province because she didn't think I
would go there. At that moment, I was furious. I started thinking to
myself, See Fah must not had been lost recently.

My secretary, my team and I went to Koh's house when she was not at
home. We asked people in the neighborhood. Many told us that See Fah
stayed at Koh's house for just a few days. She was chained in front of
the house and got herself away from it. On the day that she was lost,
Koh and her family did not try to look for her, which means that See
Fah had been gone from Koh's house for more than a month!!!!

On that day, we searched for her all day. We drove a car around,
asking people and posting bills, which include her picture and reward
for anyone report the clue for finding her. It was raining season. My
heart was broken. See Fah was a house dog. She was just a small poodle
toy. How would she survive from streets with so many vehicles or from
bully dogs? When it was raining, where would she hide? How much See
Fah would be hungry or scared? My team and I sat on the footpath
crying for days when we were looking for See Fah. In the mean time,
there were people claiming that they saw a dog looked like See Fah
here and there. We rushed to the place and took the reward money
along. In our hearts, we prayed it was See Fah. We prayed, we could
finally give this rewards to someone.

But until now, the money is still with me.


From raining season turned to winter, which is colder than any
year...there is no sign of See Fah.

Some people say that living depart is more torturing than death
depart. Because death, we know it is the end. And we hope that who we
love would be in heaven. But living depart...it is torturing. There
are only missing and worrying. There is no day that I don't think of
See Fah's sad eyes. I can't make a decision on my pray if I should wish her
to be happy in heaven or wish her to be safe in a happy family.

See Fah's story is another mark in my heart. It tortures me. And it
will leave a scar in my heart till I die.



This is See Fah's picture on the announcement, which we specify amount of reward for someone, who can help us find See Fah. ...no one gets the rewards..

The New Bangkok Governor

Bangkok just had a city governor election. The result came out that Prince Sukumpun Boripat won the election. Prince Sukumpun is also the chairman of the consulting board for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Thailand, which I am the president.

I hope Bangkok will improve since he's a man with abilities and knowledges. He was a minister of many important ministries including international affair. The most important is that he's a member of the main government party. I hope there is no obstacle for him to work and develop Bangkok.

Tommie Jr. & Mai Thai arrived their homes

Tommie Jr. ( Saiyai's Miracle Moment to Brislin) and Mai Thai (Saiyai's Thai Silk for Dresden) arrived the US yesterday.

After a long journey and a stress from both my family and I and from the new owners ( Michelle and Diana), the two cutest puppies arrived JFK safely and looked lively. Diana flew from Miami to pick up her Mai Thai. Michelle drove from Pensylvania to pick up her Tommie Jr. Diana and Michelle also had lunch together. This is a benefit from my puppies for bringing these 2 good friends into my life and these 2 friends also become friends.

Thank you Diana and Michelle for your love and good intention you have for Mai Thai and Tommie Jr. Also, thank you for the effort that you come picking up the 2 puppies. Thank you, Noom for helping me handling this hard matter and making it easier. Thank you the Korean air crews for taking care of the 2 puppies. Health and emotion of the 2 puppies show how kind the crews were to them. Thank you Pauline for supporting Michelle's trip on picking up Tommie Jr and for sharing these pictures.

Also, thank you so much to "Cash" and "Jimlim" and to "Tommy" and "YardThip" , the super parents for producing these precious puppies to the planet.

Junior and Mai Thai, my dearests, you are lucky for having a forever homes just as these 2 families. Now go to your future that your new moms have planed for becoming great champions. I believe in you always.

So long.. Bouquet

I just wrote about Bouquet on my blogspot not so long ago. However, I didn't write that long because Bouquet was only 8 months old so I believed I had so much more time to write about and take more pictures of her.

Bouquet was Brooke's and Donut's dauther. Her littlemates were Bally Boy, who is going to be with Peter and Ellika in Sweden and Orchid, who I plan to do her Am.CH with Stacia in Hawaii. All of them in this litter are gorgeous. Bouquet was even the most beautiful but smallest and tiny. When she was 8 months old, she weighted only 1.9 lb.

Bouquet was a tiny Chihuahua, who didn't have any health problems ( atleast she didn't show it at all). She was lively, cute, naugthy and attention seeker. She's a very mommy girl and cling on her sister, Orchid, all the time. The image of 3 of them, mother and kids, looked so funny. Brooke is big so she has big step. Orchid can follow her but Bouquet had to run after and call mother and sister to stop and wait for her. It was a nice and cute image. I wish I took some pictures.

The night before yesterday, one of my maid, who is the best in taking care of dogs , wanted to take Bouquet to sleep with but the other maid suggested not to because he was afraid Bouquet would get smash over (when the maid is sleeping) So she didn't take Bouquet to sleep with. Normally Bouquet will call to get attention when the maids start working in the morning but yesterday morning, it was quiet. There was no voice from Bouquet. She slept with no breeth next Orchid, who stared at her sister wondering what happened. She passed away without any sign before. I didn't know what happened. There was no bark wanting attention from Bouquet, only the crying from everyone in the family.

Some friends kindly calm me and try to make me feel better by saying at least Bouquet didn't suffer. The reason might be the heart attack, which happens to too small dogs. Those words comfort me a lot yet on the other hand, I question myself "is it true that all past 8 months, she didn't suffer anything? "

The lost of Bouquet makes my recent 2 days are sad days for me. Eventhough I was busy and had 100 things to do but images and voice of Bouquet pop up in my head 100 times a day as well.

So long Bouquet. We will miss and love you always.
