Mr Rocky is healing and feeling safer by the day.
His belly is full and his body is healing.
Big week of tests and hopefully some progress on the eyes.
Have a lovely Sunday wherever you are in the world ❤️

For my supporters who couldn’t join today’s live walk or would like to see a little more of Lutsk (a city in northwestern Ukraine), I’ve made a short video.
You can watch it here:

Highlight of my week. All sick dogs walked and cared for. Off to the beach with my own little family.
This is the double stack.
Hank very focused and Chance just happy to be alive.
Have a lovely Sunday everybody ❤️

In times like these, when Ukraine is wounded by war every day, it’s important to show you what we have and what can be lost.
Tomorrow I’m going on a new trip🤞. I’ll bring back material for a new Hidden Ukraine letter.
My deepest gratitude to my Patreon supporters, who help me continue this work.

5️⃣ It's hard to believe but Rocky has now been here for five days and I think today is the most incredible he has ever looked
💤 I had a lot of messages and suggestions that maybe it would be better to put Rocky asleep when I first found him on Saturday
🐕 I think you can see from his whole body language, his wagging tail, and how hungry he is that this is a dog that very much wants to live
🍣 Every day we have a little routine where I change his bandana and bring him some smoked salmon and poached chicken. It's a little boy's picnic and it's the most magical time, sitting in the sun, you could ever imagine.
👀 We're slowly getting towards a stage where we might be able to do more for him with his eyes but there's no rush on that because he has so many ailments. What I am noticing is that he's fantastic at navigating around using my voice, the smell of food, and by learning the different types of grass and trees in his small area
There's a lot of bad news in the world and doom and gloom. Rocky might just be one little individual street dog in Thailand but I really think he's helping put a smile not just on my face but on people around the world. A truly special little creature is Mr. Rocky ❤️

Rocky had some of the worst test results I ever saw yesterday when I took him to the vets. To be honest I don't know how he was even still able to stand up. Not only does he have glaucoma in his eyes, he also has blood parasites, skin issues, and many of his organs are under pressure.
The easy thing to do would be to give up like whoever abandoned Rocky did. Instead of ending his life scared and alone on that beach, he now has a chance and we had one of the most enjoyable Sundays ever.
Of course he's not aggressive or wanting to bite. That was just his defense mechanisms yesterday. I was having a lot of trouble getting him moved around today because he was so terrified on the lead. But as soon as I figured out that he enjoyed being carried and as close as possible to human touch, everything changed.
Myself and Rocky sat and he had smoked salmon, poached chicken, and lovely sliced ham. He absolutely devoured every single bite. I put a nice bandana on him and gave him lots of attention and just tried in general to make his Sunday as magical as possible.
The coming days won't be easy. There's a high likelihood that he'll have some severe battles ahead and he may lose his eyes. But as I went to sleep last night, I just wished that I could get one day with Rocky and I was lucky enough to have that. Now myself and Rocky are greedy for a few more days and maybe even longer. Hoping for a miracle.

I did sleep great worrying about Rocky. I was 50/50 if he’d be alive.
He was awake and waiting for his breakfast. That’s all I hoped for yesterday. One more day.
Now we’ll try and get another day and take it from there 🙏

My mummy saw the honkologist today and she’s doing well (with my help)

Little update. I tried to do a video but, as you can see, I was being heckled. So, the 2nd surgery went well. It gave them a clear margin for the original excision which is great. They did hit a new patch of precancerous cells on the other side of the new bit but, thankfully …

Friends, we're ok
I'm on my way to the centre to run some errands
Feeling awful: sleepy, exhausted, with a strong headache
Slept only about 4–5 hours last night because of another massive attack
My son and his wife Taya are visiting my mum and my son's dad, later they'll visit my sister

A hard rescue today as I got a message from a kind local lady who needed help with an old blind dog. The poor boy was most likely dumped in the area because the “end was close for him”. He was confused on the beach and stuck. He wouldn’t have lasted much longer were it not for their bravery.
His vet results were about as bad as it gets. His eyes might be glaucoma as he can’t see a thing and his kidneys and liver are bad as well as severe anemia. His anemia is so bad we can’t even put him on a drip.
While I was driving him around I just had to keep talking to him as his head would keep dropping. His body is so weak. He is also very hard to handle as he lashes out with bites as he can’t see what is going on around him. He is terrified.
The ladies called him Rocky as they are hoping he will make a comeback. It won’t be easy at all but he did start eating, drinking and resting well this evening. We will all have to keep everything crossed for this lovely boy. Whatever happens he isn’t on his own and he has the best medical care now.
Rocky even let me pet his head tonight. I think he understands he is safe.

We closed the kitchen, gas pipe is off
Cat food and water are in the hallway
Telegram channels inform about a new massive missile attack within the next hours
I fell asleep watching snooker, now I can't sleep
Especially knowing we'll be attacked soon
Besides, all my thoughts are about my son
He leaves soon for his unit
