Life On Our Farm

Shelby

I've seen splashes in the lakes before and always thought they were probably fish jumping for flies but yesterday I found this very large Asiatic Softshell Turtle in the pasture and can only presume it was her splashing around in the water! She made a very 'speedy' retreat to the lake and so we have called her SHEL-BY (after the Ford Mustang sports car!) which we think is quite appropriate! I counted at least 8 baby turtles awaiting the return of their Mom in the shallows. Turtles are an omen of good tidings in Thailand so by the size of Shelby let's hope the prophecy  comes true!

The Dearest of Deers!

Natalie, our resident deer, even after all these years, is still very camera-shy so it is not often I can get a good snap of her. This is the best photo that I have taken of her for a long time so I couldn't help but to share it with you!

Chubby Buffs!

I tried to take a snap of all of our buffaloes but Brian would not come out of his mud-bath so her’s a good picture of  Naak, on the left, and Nohn, his mother, on the right. Naak was just a baby a few months ago but look at him now! So very handsome and because of all the rain we have had and so much luscious grass on the farm all of the buffaloes look very fit and, I must say, rather chubby!

Naak is growing-up!

Naak, our 'baby' buffalo is growing-up so quickly! He's a real cuttie and so very friendly and still loves a cuddle! He enjoys swimming in the lake and cozying down with his Mom and Brian, his brother, at  night. Hopefully he will remain a placid young fellow for a long time to come here on the farm!

A very sleepy Beagle!

I had to run some errands in town the other day and thought that I would take Louis along for the ride as he loves the car and motorbike. We went shopping and visited friends which, I think, was all a bit much for a young Beagle who slept all the way back to the farm!

I've never seen a more content cow! We call her 'Dangs Mother' as you may know if you have seen our earlier blogs. She's 20 years old this year and still going strong! She roams freely around the farm but usually of an evening comes up to the house for snacks of fresh corn and then sleeps in the garage at night. We love her dearly!

Here's a great picture of Oscar! He's on the prowl and looks very stealthy!..but don't be fooled because in reality he was just heading towards his bowl of crunchy cat food! Good try though Oscar!!

Introducing Lili!!

A few days ago I was driving in the rain to the village of Huay Kaew to have some lunch and I saw a cardboard box at the side of the road on the edge of a rice paddy. I thought that this was rather strange so I pulled over to see what it was.
There, sitting in the open end of the box sheltering from the rain, I found a baby kitten; I say baby because she must have only been not more than one week old! I looked around for her mother and maybe some other members of her family but she was all alone and very disheveled. She is so pretty having three colours just like Molly our Beagle! Of course I picked her up and returned to the farm, dried her and gave her some milk and a snack, she was very hungry! She is so cute and I will keep her on the farm and I have called her Lili!
Here is a snap I took of her;  she now looks so much better than when I found her and I know she feels safe and comfy! The dogs have been very good and Oscar the cat has taken a keen interest!
Next week I will take her to the vet for a full check-up and to plan her vaccinations for when she gets a little older but for now Cleo is the newest member of our family and she can look forward to a life of ease, safety and comfort with us here on Thung Dong Farm!

UPDATE! 29.6.22
So I went to visit my parents in central Thailand. I hadn't seen them for almost 2 years and I took Lili with me. My Mom fell in love with her so now Lili is living with my Mom and Dad and being very much spoilt!

It was Louis's 3rd birthday on the 12th Februaryso we had a small party for him!
He also had a big shampoo and wash for the occasion and although the cake was meant to be shared with us and the other dogs (and Oscar the cat!) there was no chance of that once Louis got his nose into it, a couple of gulps and it was gone!
Happy Birthday Louis, our Beagle Pup!

Welcome to your world on Thung Dong Farm ‘Naak’ – our baby pink buffalo born this morning!
He is so very cute and just right for a cuddle!...but for now he can snuggle down on fresh hay with his Mom in the buffalo house to keep warm on these chilly nights.
Nature, and life on the farm, is so wonderful!

The Garden Room was our first room that we opened for our guests almost 14 years ago. It is very comfortable and rather secluded and has a wonderful outlook across the upper pasture. Guests are invited to dine with wonderful views and a nice warm fire in the winter!
