Yes it’s dangerous for telling it to your neighbors. Wildlife should be protected against corrupt minds. I’m afraid that they’re gone forever. Due to illegal logging here in our place, it was only when I was a child that I remember of my grandparents hunted wild pigs and deer. I've not heard from them since those days that they catches wild animals. They're maybe gone because the natives like my grandpa used to hunt them and some people slowly cut the big trees.
Your place is like heaven on earth. It would be enjoyable to work while watching the jungle over the window and the big bird. Such a tranquil place to meditate and I wish to have a life like that, to be in the jungle with wifi but surrounded with fresh air and wildlife.
Where did your cat got her anxiety of the rain? My dogs got their anxiety from fireworks during new year. They panic during thunderstorms. When the rain is coming, they know and I could see their body trembling like they almost pass out. I just give them a calming tone to encourage to relax and stroke their forehead.
Will your wife live in the US? Or, is it a working visa? I'm sorry for my curiosity because I'm confused that you are left in Cambodia. That's a challenge of your family being away from your wife, a daughter away from her mom.
It is indeed a beautiful place where we live, and even though it's a wildlife sanctuary, the government does little to protect, and even profits from awarding large tracts of land to rich and powerful citizens. Cambodia's forests are nearly all gone, and I can't imagine any wilderness here existing in the next 20 years at the current rate of destruction.
I'm not sure if my kitty is scared of the rain. Last season she was okay, but I just think she was so young that she's forgotten. I assume all will be fine after we have a couple more rains and she gets accustomed to it again. She'll also have to get used to eating more insects and less tiny lizards and mammals with the return of the rains.
Long story with our visa situation. We aren't allowed to legally marry in Cambodia, so around five years ago we went to South America to get legally married, hoping to return to Cambodia with some more civil rights. However, COVID closed the borders and we were stranded there for three years, unable to return to Cambodia or go to the USA, so we began the immigration process there after being stuck two years, thinking the only way out would be US Immigration.
Now we've already paid the money, but it's been one hurdle after another, and now the US government has mishandled our daughters' cases and it appears my wife have to go on her own. We only really wanted to visit for a few weeks, but the tourist visa is too hard to get. So ironically my wife will now have to go alone somewhere she doesn't want to be and be there without her family. I am so angry at my government for the way they have handled our US visas.
