[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 161668, member: 2211"] [FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]I agree with Loth. I think you should try to figure out a non-chalant way of introducing yourself to one of his parents. I wouldn't 'blow the whistle' on his hanging around your house (and dog) as you may be his only healthy outlet. But at least knowing where he lives and with whom would be important to me.
