That’s exactly how I feel. I’m thirty three and she is almost if not fifty. And she’s so smart and wise. I’m just kinda intimidated.

Why are you so concerned about it stranger? Get back to me when you bring me some antihistamines and chicken noodle soup for the irritation that they and their dog caused. FOH.

Really? What kinds?

Thank you! I’m not. I want one and I’ll get one eventually.

They are my best friends though so I can’t not visit them. Somethings gonna have to give though because it stinks in there and the dog must be miserable.

Damn, I should call animal control. Their last dog had some terrible growth in its belly and they just let it limp around in pain for months before it finally died. It’s a mother and daughter pair. The mother isn’t the dog owner and just puts up with the dog but the daughter, who is grown, is crazy about dogs. I don’t…

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I can relate in my own way. Last year the love of my life got another woman pregnant and moved on from me like it was nothing. I literally laid in bed all summer crying and thinking I was going to die. I lost so much weight. I had to force myself to eat and I remember one…

At least you do clean your home and wash your pet. It would be silly of me to expect no dog hair in the house. But that dog’s hair is everywhere and he stinks like a mother. When I make the mistake of petting him my hand gets covered in oily residue and hair.

He’s a shitty dominant. I am not into bdsm but I am nosey so I read a lot and everyone talks about how this dynamic should be treated with the utmost respect. Dude’s a pig and once your heartbreak lessens, you will be so relieved to be without him.

Thank you so much for that info! I still want a retired greyhound. I was just ranting and I would love to see it walking around in a sweater. How cute! I figure that if I can bathe myself daily, I can bathe a dog once a week and do some light cleaning to keep the place livable.

Umm, how is it none of my business? It’s the business of anyone who comes to their house. If you read what I said I clearly stated that I was ranting because going to their house made me horribly ill. It is definitely my business. These are people that I love dearly and who seem to love me and ask me to visit them…

That’s the crazy thing. I have known them for twelve years now and they have always had dogs. They used to live in a much larger house then they do now and it was never this filthy. I don’t know what has come over them.

See, that sounds easy and totally reasonable. The level of lazy with my friend is mind blowing. And she has two young grandbabies who visit her every weekend. I don’t know how their parents feel comfortable with that. I’d hate for one of them to develop asthma.

I want to talk to her about it but I can’t find the words. I guess I’m being a chicken and hoping that one of her many relatives will talk to her about it. And she is almost twenty years older than me. For some reason that intimidates me. But I am gonna have to speak up because I can’t visit her anymore with her house…

Man, I never even considered fleas. They have got to do better. I pray that dog never gets those or their house would be a hellhole.

They only ever have stray mutts that they just happen upon and I honestly don’t even know if they think that neutering and stuff like that even crosses their minds. Thank you for showing me what normal looks like because what they have going on over there ain’t normal.  

You’ve got lucky pets. They seem very well loved. These are good people and they love dogs but they are just so filthy when it comes to his care. I don’t get it because my friend is a glamazon who takes such good care of herself. She has her life together but she just doesn’t get it when it comes to that dog. He looks…

They never vacuum. And their swiffer looks like it has never been touched. I mean the woman is a beauty queen and so very meticulous about everything but that damn dog. tumbleweeds of hair just float across the floor.

They have all wood floors. I don’t know why they can’t at least swiffer. It would take minutes. And he has a really thick coat. I know he must be miserable too.
