So... a while back we were babysitting our friends puppy; a little Thai Ridgeback called Mojo. We wanted Mojo's stay to go as smoothly as possible in the hopes that he'd be coming back one day. At the time we didn't have a dog of our own, so babysitting a friend's dog was a real …

Dragonflies and Damselflies
Dragonflies and damselflies have always intrigued me, and here in Thailand, you can see them near most bodies of water.
