The Dogs of Snore...

Sawatdee, krup! Hot days here are reminiscent of our years spent in Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand. What a great time for an Ice Cap from Tims... or if you are in Thailand, that would be a Cafe Yen from Seven. Don't forget to grab a virtual treat to go with your coffee.

7-11 convenience stores (called ‘Seven’ by Thai people...emphasis on the second syllable ‘seVEN’) abound in Thailand and the entrances are great places for Thai street dogs to congregate. Nice blast of aircon whenever someone opens the sliding door to enter or exit. The occasional snack tossed their way is always welcome, too. Life is good!

Good things always come in pairs: wine and cheese, Saturday and Sunday, stray dogs and 7-Eleven.

The symbiotic relationship between convenience store and street dog seems so natural that no one thinks twice about it. It would seem strange to find a 7-Eleven without a crew of regular four-legged friends who eat, sleep and live there.

Apparently a little aircon and some handouts from passers-by is all a homeless pooch needs to get by. Not to mention a 23-hour sleep schedule.

Maa Naa Seven or “The Dogs of Seven” serves up eye-candy for dog lovers featuring a collection of random, cute 7-dwelling dogs.

Besides the adorable and sometimes, funny pictures, the page also gives shout-outs for stray dogs that need help.

Then again, tomorrow’s big thing will probably be 7-Goat fanpages. I have no idea how that goat got in with the dogs... but remember, goats have voracious appetites!

See ya, eh!
