Daddle 171 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I think you will always lose trying to fight “crazy.” Not a good word to use, but it describes both FB and his parents. Sure, make certain the Captain and police are aware. But find a way to accept the person and situation. I would 100% avoid the parents, they seem to have both a hate issue and a means of revenge. Give the FB some friendship gifts. A teeshirt, a lunch. Maybe a battery operated fan? :-) Say nothing but pleasantries. Fix the gate. Maybe spikes on it where it gets kicked. Have patience. That said, I wouldn’t let him inside or be a ‘pal’ either. Arm’s length accommodation only. Link to post Share on other sites

Dogs are an excellent idea---we have wanted one even before this mess started. I have yet to see any dog here though that wasn't mangy,half starved,etc that we would be willing to care for long term.

Headshot 29,350 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Good idea. Get a couple of large female dogs. Then keep them inside of the fence at all times. I say female because 1) they aren't as messy as males and 2) every time one of them is in heat, the street outside of your gate will be full of male dogs (which will serve as a further deterrent to anybody wanting to hang around outside your gate). Just don't ever let the males get close to your females. They don't need to be unfriendly (in fact, I would see that as a problem) since Filipinos are wary of all big dogs and fierceness isn't really necessary. Barking at strangers is a plus. If you do get dogs, keep their vet care regular. They should get all necessary shots and parasite treatments. That will keep the fleas, ticks and mange away. Getting pups is always a good idea, but you should be prepared for some nights where they are missing their mother. If you want a mature dog, then go and visit the local shelter or pound. The pounds kill street dogs that are picked up here, so if you can find a couple of very friendly dogs that way, they will be eternally grateful to you. You can pretty much guarantee a strong bond between you and the dogs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

HTM 5,426 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Remember a person whit most "mental health problems" in the Philippines is by law not responsible for there action sins they by law is a "kid". In cases like this the only way is to have the Barangay helping or just go on whit your life. As long as "FB" don't do a "real" crime or are dangerous to him self or others I think the best is to smile and fix your gate you self. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
