Dark cooking chocolate.Originally Posted by Dick
Great call from Marmite there.
And you'd think it would be quite harmless.Don't worry if your dog has eaten a single chocolate or helped himself to the last square of your bar, because this won't provide a large enough dosage of theobromine to hurt him. If you have a small dog though, and he has eaten a box of chocolates, you need to get him to the vet immediately. And if you're dealing with any quantity of dark or bitter chocolate, err on the side of caution. The high level of theobromine in dark chocolate means it takes only a very small amount to poison a dog; just 25 grams may be enough to poison a 20 kg dog.
Would you really wish this fate on FiFi?
Maybe it would be better to drug the Belgie, dress him in a dog suit and drop him off here?
A Buddhist monk who collapsed whilst having sex with a dog living at his monastery is faced with making some difficult explanations.
The 65-year-old monk lived at a monastery in Thailand, having become a monk to escape a chequered past. Also living at the monastery was a 3-4-year-old female dog, who was with pup.
Even a dog’s feminine wiles apparently proved too much for the cloistered monk, and he took the animal as a companion, sundering his vows of chastity.
However, during an encounter with the animal in a nearby forest, the excitement seems to have got the better of him, and he collapsed, later being found unconscious with the dog still tied to a nearby tree.
Police subsequently confirmed his involvement thanks to traces of his semen found on the dog’s genitals, as well as on his clothes. According to witnesses he also took washing-up liquid from the monastery kitchens to use as a makeshift lubricant, indicating a certain amount of preparation.
It is not clear whether he faces criminal charges, or what the abbot intends to do about the matter.

You have a Goldie and I own a Belgian... its black, large and nefarious looking too however, she's my trained guard dog (qualified & certified from the pistol training tests in France too) and maybe, she might join us when we relocate to Hua Hin in the near future.
Never blame the poor devil as its obvious here, its a man made ego problem u're faced with and violence doesn't help either esp. being a foreigner, YOU stand out easily among the masses hence, a simple passive option is all it takes and it serves on two fronts. I hope you have a garden yrself.
Have you ever hear dogs yanking or barking away under a heavy downpour?
Lay a pipeline with garden sprinklers by the edge of yr parameters and select a swivel system that does both ways, 90 degrees or the full monty which is 180 degrees spraying for either side.
Turn it on from inside whenever you see the darn mongrel showing up with its blarring tongue.... good luck mate.

The worst was my Thai neighbor who allowed his old hound to die on his front porch, rather than take it to a vet to be put down.
The damned thing was in agony - shrieked, howled and moaned for an entire week, and the noise was just heartbreaking. The pitiful creature literally cried himself to death.
No, most of the animal rescue is done voluntarily by foreigners through charitable donations.
Thais are very indifferent to the distress of dogs, not all of course, but it's another cultural difference. They think it strange to put a dog on a lead and take it for a walk, whereas we would see it as a natural pastime and worthwhile activity.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
Naa second thought,s I wont crack a funny here ,, this bastard is just too sickOriginally Posted by Briansmallcock
Thanks for sharing yr input esp when highlighting the cultural side revealing the indifference on the whole... sad as it is, it may need more time to instil love & compassion too for domestic pets in Thailand.
We have 3 ex-Pats residing within our modest-size Villa village in Hua Hin who has dogs too but they pose no inconsiderate care or trouble to anyone which is great.
Nonetheless, added 24/24 security service within the premises offers more comfort with convenience which makes responsible co-habitation with all involved, a pleasant lifestyle to sustain.
I wouldn't honestly want to walk or stroll with my dog in Bangkok either even with a leash on... with the kind of smog hovering daily from vehicle combustion, the air isn't a healthy thought for a start.
Onto that monk molesting an animal... we have weirdos in many shapes, sizes & robe colors too... really sad & disgusting esp. when they are supposedly regarded as "holy" people.
One of the members here used to run a dog rescue centre in Hua Hin, but she is back in England now, she did a lot of remedial and emergency work. It would be worth finding out where to get emergency treatment for your dog in the area. Just in case. You could ask in your regional sub-forum perhaps Southern Thailand Forum - TeakDoor.com - The Thailand Forum
Heyyy, excellent leads, Neo.
I will pass it on... just in case, for ppl do change on a whims notice when the buck stops at their feet overnight.
I don't see us in such a predicament with our pets, our dogs have their own bank account to sustain further should anything happen to us.
Nonetheless, I am of the view that most affluent residents sharing their homes with animal companions in privilege home venues and owned by visitors from abroad have better care and survival ratings as oppose to domestic animals belonging to locals.
From my original post, it may pay your friend to withhold his estate management fees and see what happens. It cetainly inspired the estate managers to investigate the problem in my case and take some form of action.
If the managers fail to take suitable action then at least your friend will not have to pay for a service he is not receiving. If he doesn't take action himself then it is quite likely that nothing will change.

Can be a dangerous approach, knew someone doing that, when they came home one day the barrier was down and the estate security would not let them in to their own house before the estate fees where paid up. There was nothing they could do but comply, the developer family was well connected.
As I have mentioned I know where the OP lives and it is quite a well known, well managed estate but it would also help if he had a petition of complaint when he approached the juristic person.
Obviously he is not the only person suffering from this noisy dog and very possibly he is not the only person who has been hosed by this obnoxious farang.
A lesson for all living in Thailand and how to deal with things like an adult.
Last night it was on our prime-time TV network by us featuring the imminent cause of "stress to death" solely from excessive noise droning consistently at or from a spot or area that is now a major concern both for the Insurance and Legal aspects when feeling "tortured" deliberately however passive it may appear...
We have the Police now involved and given full Legal backing from the Municipal to move in and remove, impound any suspected cause albeit items or DOGS (usually being the culprit) or audio hardware from the home of the perpetrator once a call is reported.
Noise pollution and discomfort to harmony for all is now seriously addressed and this should be a reminder too for those Management who plans to sustain a feasible/reliable infra structure for their Leasing community.
Don't allow nor let an idiotic moron ruin your paradise of peace... that is an infringement of privacy at large taking into account the unbearable decibels caused.
An interesting story Lars.
Has security/service management a right in law to physically prevent residents access to their own home? A house they have bought whether mortgaged or not? To do so may seem to be a criminal act and the presence of a police officer may be required to resolve the problem.
If it were merely the prevention of vehicular access then maybe security are within their legal rights.
The non-payment of management fees i suspect is a civil matter and a meeting between those who are withholding fees and the service management would seem to be the best solution.
I do know those however, who have no neighbour problems yet still withhold fees simply because they do not wish to pay. Karma!
The developer said, the management fees pays for the security and the private roads on the estate, if you don't pay you have no right to their service (which included unlocking the gate) or use, the management/developer did not dispute the ownership status of their property, just barred them access once out.
And with several local very high ranking police officials in the family of the developer it was a lost battle from the start.
The original long running gripe that made them withhold the fee was legitimate enough, but this is Thailand

Out here in the sticks the "collectors" do the job. They are independents who come through the village a couple times a week buying plastic, aluminum, paper and the like which they in turn sell to recyclers. As a side business they will catch strays and occasionally take away an unwanted dog. No one is particularly interested in asking what becomes of these poor creatures. The collectors simply take them no questions asked. Unfortunately, my guess is they end up as doggie soylent green.Originally Posted by Cruiser

Thanks Norton for the trivia with Thailand.
Dogs with "value" and owned by responsible owners would know what to do for sure, I would in any case even where I am now in, laws are safer here but over in Thailand, one just can't afford to be complacent unless its a mongrel or a person is just as incorrigible as a stray mongrel over deserving pet companions.
Training a dog correctly requires time & devotion to get it straight for worthiness. Adding more surety with proper enclosures away from dog-snatchers is another priority.
But staying on topic, it is karma for sure when one ends up with a nuisance neighbor who don't give a shit for neighborly consideration.
I will recce and undertake DD B4 ever moving in to a place with uncertain potential bad influences.... must make the $$$ do the screening for good value & returns and thats Lifestyle sought when relocating to another country.
