A dog - man's best friend? …?

by Ewcyna

In the Philippines were selected for szpetności, haggard, hungry, barely holding on his feet tetrapods, mainly lactating bitches. Wallowed in search of food, often stopping in the middle of the road without even the slightest substitutes for instinct samozachowczego, what I never suspected any animals. At the sight of a man most often podkulały tail and fled.

In Burma males were you can tell they were much livelier, but only a few times I was obszczekana or would pogoniona. Once it ended up being the aggressor unhappily - fell under the bike and ended his life psi. I was so scared and gave me before the signs, that somehow I do not regret it.

In Thailand, people like dogs - I learned recently. Dogs are clearly fed, what they really meant. Odkarmiony dog ​​does not accumulate their energy on finding food, but can focus on other activities. We are happy with your prevents a dog kolesiostwem and already very eager to tease muscles rushing in pursuit of an unidentified object which is the bike there and who sets it in motion. For each household has multiple pets, and these unassigned not be counted. (Footnote later – but, However, not all dogs are fed ..).

Everywhere in Asia, where to previously visited the dogs are a part of human society, here they are probably more than people. Prowling around alone or separately, roll specific to your dog's life Psio-human principles, live among people, in which they do not interfere (exception is Japan, where the dogs on the streets and roads DOES NOT AT ALL, and those at home are attached to a very short leash – I really pity them there was a).

Unfortunately, My first impressions of Thailand, though really positive overshadowed by the subject, because it is very cool. I have pepper spray (I'm looking for), I can not stick wozić so my bike was fitted with a new element - a bag of stones on the steering wheel (footnote later – drove it through 1 day, Then luckily I gave cope differently).

I do not really know how to peel a strategy of driving - I would like if possible to drive the back roads, but there's a lot of homes and “friends of man”. Yesterday the admiration of even the idyllic ride through almost fell into a panic and ride turned into a nightmare. Major roads - and yuck! Loud and boring, although they are comfortable and the shoulder.

Still too biedzę like this route, position and so I'm thinking, I'd like everywhere, and this is probably not possible. This is why, that does not go along the border with Burma, to pikuś… Route recent days led to a drunken, but it just is not a problem. And this is something I decided to visit, and is a route along the river was so captivating, that I was going on..

Bounced out of the way north after 40 km, realizing, that is the only way in those surroundings, to the national, So as most cars will be there, and I do not wish anything more as at the end of the ride in silence. Well, there was an opportunity - an outlier road leading through the national park. I thought, that there will be no trucks.

Well, it made sense - it was nei trucks. I forgot, however, the principle of, that the main roads are usually much gentler slope and smaller there is a free-. According to this principle road, I started to go gentle slope was not. I was warned, that the way in Asia, for example,. Northern Thailand, Laos are steep, but it was my debut on any such distributions.. The failed I might add. I got a lesson in humility. Not coping drive, but I gave it a push bike advice. After some 7 pushing on a kilometer 10-20-30 meters and I stop I was barely alive and had no idea (map such a) if you have to push me waiting.

And as it fortunately happens in such moments, an angel appeared, probably an employee of the National Park, who stopped, to tell me that the summit still far, then there is little exit and the next.. So as offered, ride that I did it and did not protested. Chłopina transported me some 40 miles into space, which was only downhill , and then turned back. Gold is not a man.

Coming watching the road and landscape. I knew, could not have done that to overcome this episode in 1 day, but then it seemed to me that even in 3 it would be difficult. Throughout the 80 km section 2 village, and I had poor food supplies. Stupidity. Views of the mountains are always interesting, but unfortunately now in Thailand and probably the whole of Asia Central and Eastern end of the dry season lasts and the landscape is truly lunar. I feel, I rode on a beautiful sunny, November day as the temperature does not agree. Everything is withered on chip, the trees do not have leaves, many traces of fires – scorched earth and the fires themselves or would.

And in Poland Spring seems to already knocking at the door? That I wish you and this time I envy the emerging green.

Myrrh, I'm not worried but I am happy with the Thailand although obviously very tęskię for the green, Housing conditions are of the sky or heaven and two better, The rooms are spotlessly clean, with air conditioning and more “as God commanded you”. I can rozbiajać the wild, or ask people. Food.. well, , off the tourist villages, where you can get everything for a no knocks (kluskowe soup, fried chicken and shashliks), but the mastery of the world is the green papaya salad and mango. Breaking news.
To the picture postcard paradise and the beaches are unlikely because I get too much to the south, but I hope, that although a little spring “after our” feel in China, choć do tego droga jeszcze kręta i pod górkę 🙂
pozdrawiam Łódż 🙂

“Once it ended up being the aggressor unhappily - fell under the motor, blew up and ended his life psi. Somehow I do not regret it.”

Honestly, did not sound good. Ok, even as a lover of dogs, I know, in the case of cycling, Rural dogs can give the bone, does not necessarily have to travel to Thailand, for example,. when driving after dark in Poland through small villages. However, this is a living being from the same cloth as we, which does not do this or knowingly, or malignant, and their behavior depends on owners, ai cyclist with a piece of bread instead of stones something to remedy. I was just summarize – somehow it has no regrets… What else fret buzz or the sight of a dog centered on calf, and quite another to feel the satisfaction of his death. Besides, as you write, These dogs are part of the local landscape. What are they like in Sochi wytruć, because every few years will be on the bypass tourist “looking for authenticity”?

Tom, in the same post I write about, was a shame as I was tied too short dogs in Japan. In writing this sentence I realized, does not sound that can best, but then so is my dog ​​or even two gave the bone, were so aggressive, that for quite a while balanced on the street between cars and I already felt helpless. It was so dangerous, I admit that I felt relieved how it ended, although I would prefer peaceful finale. This may explain the context of something more.
Somehow over the years of riding and never gone to the carriage of stones and did not consider the subject to be so important, right to be described, So maybe something here, however, is “things”. Somehow I always went to the dog “talk down”, ignore, follow us something else out of the situation. This is not to give – as there is no owner in the vicinity, which will call to order, This can jedynei wait and eventually scare. I did not come to Thailand to play in throwing stones – as you can guess they are not likely to do something wrong Brick, ale male odstraszacze, moreover, used only a few times. These are not dogs, that can satisfy a roll, even if issued with one could be bought here and there are so many, that the rolls would not nastarczyło.
Let me add, that the Philippines and Burma always drove with each other leftovers to give to some nabardziej zabiedzonemu dog. I got into a discussion with lokalsem on the movement of live pigs in bags, obwiązanych tight rope, bags which are thrown and transporting a motorcycle after a few dozen pieces are tied down by the legs and hanging upside down chickens. Living course.
If I touched you or someone else with my words I'm sorry. I respect the feelings innch, but please also to respect my.

Hi,
And I'm in the south I have quite a different experience. Dogs much, actually, but poszczekają, pursuit and forgiven…or are they so hot, that only the muzzle rise and continue nap.
As for landscapes, I just think you convinced, this time to give up the mountains. I'm in Chumphon, is dry and hot, but everywhere beautiful and green…and no breeze blowing from the sea. My plague are morning and evening mosquitoes…Despite DEET and clothes already resigned, foobar that most catch. Do not like my blood exceptionally, skurczybyki 😉

Beautifully and green sayest.. ? Tiaaa. Sounds great. Figuring how should I jump on the south, but so arranged that Thailand, the isthmus would have to train unless, then just go back, eh, I'm stupid from it all.
As for the dogs, Fortunately, it is much better. Post was created after an extremely pet-peevish in this regard two days, now most often behave as you describe (but I was driving the larger roads, there is better), therefore, may not be so bad? Stones have not wożę.
I do not know how to compare the number of mosquitoes here, rather, it is not tragic, not at all like a smear, but it is out of laziness more.
And are there any sites, as the price of rooms? The answer may be on a priv.

Once afraid of dogs, and now have two dogs at home, after frequent conversations with them, I think you need to listen to the dog, to understand and to “scoff”. The dog loves people, has a sense of its territory, own values ​​and the weapons. As it falls in the area of ​​something big, performing strange movements, being a potential threat, it hedgehogs and weapons. Form of defense is sometimes attack. Cyclist has several options. How can it escape, as it can not be either a dog scare – stone, stick, to understand, that it is better not to start fights, or stop, dismount, so that the dog saw, man, not “huddled freak hanging limbs”. Normal dog bites a person, and how you can talk to him yet it will be all happy. I have never seen (in the literature, I do not use) to pepper spray or ultrasonic dog blazer was effective, relations can only producers.

I do pretends to, with very easy judgment of the prospects comfortable chair. It looks completely different on-site. The dog is a friend of man, wise and devoted. Sadly too aggressor. And when the game enters into the health threat – and being of a village pogryzionym by dog, certainly Unaudited by the vet to such situations should be, Unfortunately, it is difficult for capturing the subtleties of August. I do this I see, like someone is outraged that his case. Always before we assess someone let us try Aug. enter in the situations. What we diligently did?

But my comment, although actually written while sitting in a chair, from the point of view of ardent cyclist having a dog house, and as one of the ways I gave a stick and a stone. Sam sticks and stones do not wożę, although experienced situations, when I wished, that they do not have. In my case, the most examined the acute pressing on the pedals and escape. For obładowanym bike is definitely more difficult. In the case of a small chance to escape the descent of the bike seems to be a better solution, because then the dog sees, with a man, and not for the purposes of the dog unknown object, behaving in an unknown way, represents a potential threat.

Dogs is a big problem in Thailand, and it wanted to convey. Luckily slowly get along in August -without stones. Most helps to ignore. When a group does not necessarily

Witaj Ewciu 🙂 My już po Tajlandii (and a piece of Laos), we are attracted to Amen and found, że nie ma sensu jeździć po Europie 🙂 Przykro mi, that you had such an experience, because we were in Thailand with the dogs had a completely different (besides, and that many of them would rather odkarmione – even saw people, motorkach who rode to lazing on the side of the band of dogs and fed them), but not touched by bike. In a total of 1 Day rode a scooter at a very sparsely populated island, There are also plenty of creatures on the roadside to walało, but also non-aggressive.
In Laos was a bit different and there threw at us even the backyard, can not be used to walkers (in total there instead of walking goes up really required).
And we were just at the beginning of the dry season – Thailand exudes the greenness, that eyes hurt – polecam 🙂
Zazdroszczę Japonii i zaraz zabieram się za zaległą lekturę 🙂

Hello, Gadu Gadu about dogs, and who will tell me how to go on to Thailand wakaje -4kg beloved dog cells uptake them? I know, passport, vaccination, but I do not really know what the airport upon arrival. Quarantine 30 days?!That's more than I can be there… And how back the air route? Hm… If my loved psieskiem can not be- I give the whole expedition, although the heart would break, because in Thailand yet beautifully. The dog has everything. Bag, Tourist equipment, taught politeness, attentions, respect for strangers , including the preservation of peace in the holy places. Because I can not enter. Probably, the hidden- in bag, if the weather is just good:, and also will look air bag. Does anyone of you have traveled to Thailand to stay with the dog such as a monthly nieprzewodnikiem? Dziękuję za cenne odpowiedzi i podpowiedzi 🙂

Rome, I though I'd like it in this respect, you can not help. I know, that people fly with dogs and any quarantine 30 day no, but you yourself look through Thai and also a specific airline. Dog is definitely stress the journey.

Thank you for your response, I have yet pozgłębiać topic. And I want to take a dog “carry-on baggage”. Never give a dog a separate room. Therefore, the stress would be minimal. In fact, the biggest drawback to that dog felt, This lack of going out. Well, remain mats, going to the toilet, and the most effective calming dog. Finely, that slept the entire trip, under the passenger seat. Another form of travel does not take into account. Thailand can turn on the Bieszczady… with a heavy heart, ale z radością bycia ze swoim psem 🙂
Thank you for your response, valuable for me to comment, there is no quarantine 30dniowej, written somewhere… 30 days of quarantine, a lack of resources- not going out of the house with a pet. Only – why then go? I want to go on a tour, and not permanently emigrate. Although… Many Poles reportedly settles there. Kiedyś i to przemyślę 🙂

Rome! I can tell you a lot and advise in the subject plane carrying the bike, but not dog. With regard to quarantine and transport aircraft should also consult the source.
Unfortunately, it seems to me, and it certainly borders, the dog does not take away the baggage pop. Travel a caged animals in the hold. But like I said,, expert I am not.
