Helping the animals

Friday, 18 May 2012 From Issue Vol. XX No. 20

Editor;

Now and again there are wonderful people that reach out to help others. In this case one of them happens to be a gentleman from San Francisco, USA. His name is Roberto Nova, an animal lover, in his mid 40’s, he also has decided to become part of the Solution Pollution Group.

Other then Roberto helping us clean beaches, setting examples, buying dog food, feeding, watering, giving medicine to them, he also has assisted us with 2 injured dogs, one losing an eye from being hit by a car and another with an infected paw, donating a few thousand baht to repair both. They would have died otherwise. We took them to Chaiyapruek Pet Hospital, where they do great, caring work, at a very reasonable price.

The story does not end there.

We also want to thank the many Thais and farangs that have given us donations for dog food and posters through out the years, along with the ongoing assistance of Pattaya City Hall. With their love and concerns for the homeless, stray, hungry dogs and wanting cleaner storm drains and beaches. Our mission has been made possible in Jomtien and other areas in Thailand for over 12 years. Our job will never be finished, but we daily make a small difference.

We are very proud to be helping members of the community, educating the unknowing and reaching out to the uncaring by talking the talk and walking the walk.

We also want to thank the concerned local papers for allowing us to be a part of their family, sharing our many present and past stories with all of you that live or visit Thailand.

We often say as the anchor drags. May health, happiness and inner-peace be with all of you.

Gerry don't get me wrong. I am full of Praise for your work for the community.
You have just proved me right by Posting thousands of Words of Self Praise.

Mahalo for noticing just a few of the things that The Pollution Solution Group does daily, the flag was the Hawaiian flag, the Powers Above and Mother Earth aren't finished with me yet, I have many more thing to do to make up for most of my first 4o years being addicted to drugs, booze and smoking, being clean and sober is a blessing as is giving back.
Khun Sean, Walk a kilometer or 3 in my flip flops and then you might begin to understand me being, a Gutter-Sniper, Dog-Feeding Ding-Dong.

My Oh My! Aren't we full of darts or is it BS.
First I would like to share with you and your bad attitude words, The Pollution Solution Group is always giving some kind of assistance not only to the homeless people that also have homeless dogs, you mention my wardrobe, when I'm finished wearing them, they become rags or bedding for dogs, no waste, recycle, reuse, reduce.
I do toot my horn and I love myself unconditionally...The Buddhist Nun you spoke with was right to a degree, Not having a previous life, I was not making up for one but in this life, I was a waste of skin up until I was 40, I was hooked on heavy drugs, alcohol and smoked, not a bad person, just an addicted, sick person.
Since killing all of my Dragons, I have been doing my best to give back to Mother Earth and the Powers Above, which has been the past 34 years, 23 yrs on Maui and 11+ in Thailand.
I Khun Sean don't need to self-praise myself as you put it, The Governor of Chonburi in 2007 did, by giving me an award for my Tam Boon, Pattaya City Hall did by also giving me an award in 2011 and they also make posters for me, give from time to time, dog food and assist me quite often.
You also forgot to mention that I have removed many, many tons of plastic, toxic cigarette butts, bottle caps, styrofoam, disposable lighters, camera batteries, bar-b-q sticks, to share a few, doing my best to help the voiceless, Children, Wildlife, Waterways and Soil, leaving only smiles, examples and footprints behind.
Your damm right I'll toot my horn, by the way, that was a Hawaiian flag and we do our best to say that we are not part of the USA.
Mahalo for opening the door so I could come out and play, also set you straight, funny I never hear about you unless you want to put someone down, that's trying to help and educate others on how to take care.
You see Sean Murphy, I have earned inner-wealth and have much more respect then a few, such as you with disrespect, "Shame on you"

Gerry it' a stirling thing you do for us living in this "Backwater of Civilisation"
Good on you and your merry men for all the things you do.I hope Roberto is happy knowing the one eyed dog is happy with his new "Outlook"
You pat yourself on the back for all you do for the dogs, but have you ever given a feed to a destitute family? Ever bought a sack of Rice for the "Oldpeoples Home" Ever.cleaned out your wardrobe and given your excess clothing to the Temple? I'm Sure if you have done these things we would have heard of them.(From You.)
You are certainly NOT the quite American.
I spoke of you to a Buddist Nun and told her of your "Selfpraise".
She explained that although you would not know it you had done something Bad in a Previous life and still not knowing it you want to be seen doing good deeds so you will return in your next life as a worthwile Person.She said these things are noticed and there is no need to sing your own Praises.
Get your Priorities right.
Glad to see you didn't use your Hawaiian talk this time and if Hawaii is part of the united States How come your
State Flag is the "Union Jack" of the United Kingdom?
