Our Husky Puppy's First Songkran in Phuket

Bobo is a Siberian Husky and about four months old, which means he thinks every bucket of water is a personal invitation. Songkran in Kathu was always going to be a test for both of us.

Our street turned into a water war within ten minutes of breakfast. Bobo barked at the first water pistol, then tried to bite the stream from the hose, then gave up and rolled in a puddle, which I suppose is the Husky way of joining the party.

By lunch he was soaking wet, shaking, and very pleased with himself. A neighbour gave him a towel and a sausage, and he decided Songkran people are his favourite people in Thailand.

We went home early and let him dry in the air conditioning. Next year I will bring a bigger towel and a better plan for keeping him out of the puddles.
