Nope, not at all. The only thing fabric based here is the beds, and they're not allowed in the bedrooms. The rest is just a typical Thai house of cement, tile and wood, so there's no pores for the nasty stuff to get stuck into. Hair is a bit of a problem, but not too bad, as it's all tile floor so not hard to sweep up.
Moreso than the hair is the dirt they drag in from the yard. I just open the doors in the morning, and they're allowed in & out all day as they please, so they drag all the dirt from the yard inside. I sweep & mop, and 3 hours later the floor is back to being filthy. Especially bad in the rainy reason when the yard muddy. Not much I can do except shrug my shoulders at it, as I'm not willing to lock them outside. It's their house too, so they're allowed in.
As for street dogs, they don't come around here. My dogs make sure to let them know they're not welcome on this street, so the soi dogs tend to stay away.
Cats and Thai boys are similar.
1. They come and go as they please.
2. They can be friends with you and live with you, but you canтАЩt really own them.
3. They may disappear suddenly and without explanation.
4. They may suddenly come back without telling you what theyтАЩve been up to.
5. They often show up when itтАЩs time to eat.
6. They may love you but you canтАЩt be sure since theyтАЩre not saying.
7. They like a good cuddle, but only when it suits them.
8. Maybe they get food from more than one sponsor.
9. You wonder what theyтАЩre doing out on the streets late at night.
10. Their ambition in life is to sleep, eat and have fun.
11. The claws come out when they defend their territory.
12. ItтАЩs difficult to tell them what to do.
13. When theyтАЩre offended, they turn their backs on you, donтАЩt speak and avoid eye contact.
14. They think theyтАЩre entitled to our love, attention and support.
15. They can get spoiled, insisting on having everything their own way,
16. They are lazy except when they want something.
17. They donтАЩt read books and they donтАЩt ponder the deeper questions of lifeтАжat least as far as we know.
18. They love cleaning themselves and preening.
19. Dealing with Thai boys is like trying to herd cats.
20. TheyтАЩre so cute that youтАЩre willing to forgive them almost anything.
Too Funny!!!
Dogs think of man friend: "You love me. You feed me. You pet me. You must be God!."
Cats and Thai boyfriends think: "You love me. You feed me. You pet me. I must be God!"
Well, yeah. 1500 baht tip, 400 hotel, 100 tip to hotel manager, couple beers, yeah -- 2200 is about right.At 2200 baht a pop in Essan maybe you should take another look at those dogs!
What I should do is just get into a relationship again, because then the price drops substantially. Provide shelter, food, a small allowance, and you're good to go. Might be a little more insane by the time the relationship ends, but what the hell...
heh, thinking about it, this reminds me of a joke I read on Thai Visa a long time ago.
Put your BF and your dog in the trunk of your car, and drive around a bumpy road for an hour. Then open the trunk, and see who's happy to see you.
Oh no, now you have hangups about oral sex?
When does this end? Now you have kids in KK?
The "unsavoury nature" remark reminds me of a challenge laid out for me many years ago by a straight-talking womanising friend of mine who spent years in Manhattan-the home of fancy female dog owners.
He challenged me ever to record 2 female dog owners met in sequence with a LARGE dog of FEMALE gender.
I swear to god I have not done it yet after 30 years.
