Housemates Pets....

[BluesBabe666]

When Ms Housemate and i got home last night from work, Mr Housemate was missing, as was Ms Housemates dog. There was a note in the kitchen that he had taken the dog to the beach.

By 9pm, Ms Housemate is stressing that her dog has been lost, or has gotten into a fight with another dog, etc, and asks me to text Mr Housemate to tell him to bring her dog home right now. I do this as requested!

Come 10pm, Ms Housemate calls Mr Housemate and angrily asks his whereabouts, and the whereabouts of her dog. He is so frustrating that she hangs up on him, furious.

Mr Housemate and dog arrive home at 11pm. Dogs choker lead has been lost, and Ms Housemate has words with Mr Housemate that he should have called her to ask permission to take her dog to the beach - Mr Housemate says, "well, what would you have said if i did?" "I was doing you both a favour".

Yes, thats true. But do you think it was ill mannered of him to simply take the dog without permission from its owner? Though we share the house, i dont believe that we share the dog. I myself would have been too afraid to take the dog for fear of losing it....

Given that there doesn't appear to be a great deal of trust between the two, I don't think its wise to do 'favours' like this without permission. Prehaps he's falling into the trap of thinking that because he lives there he has ownership rights to all the contents (regardless of the owner), including the four-egged friend. Maybe he can't see theres a difference between sharing the fridge and sharing the dog?

Dogs LOVE the beach, that little pooch would have had the time of his life. The guy is right, he did everybody a favour. Your housemate worries too much.

BluesBabe,

I have read many of your posts over the past week. You are an uptight Whinger. Yes, I agree that your housemate is probably a major pain in the ass. In most instances you are right and he is wrong. You and Ms Housemate seem to be very rigid, while he is a very easy going "do now, think later" sort of guy. You two are just as much to blame for this situation. Before choosing a housemate you need certain criteria to met to ensure that its all smooth sailing. You obviously chose the wrong person.

If you don't like my opinion. Just remember that by posting your story on the web you have invited people to judge your situation.

RK. Thanks for your opinion. I didnt think i was whinging when i made this post, just asking others opinions on the matter. Your personal slanging makes you just another sniper in my opinion. I am not an uptight whinger.

If you're referring to other posts of mine, such as when Mr Housemate took his mates into my bedroom and spilt red wine all over my couch and carpet and did god knows what else in there, then you and i clearly have very different views. I had, and have every right to be peeved about that.

When choosing a housemate, you cant always get a guarantee that they will not lie about certain things like cleaning up after themselves, which is what has happened here.

Anyway i gather from your post, though its hard to tell, that you dont think its big deal that Ms Housemates dog was taken on an outing to the beach without permission. Thanks. Try hard not to be personal, or get aside from the topic of the thread if thats at all possible for you.

I wish my housemates would look after my pet.


I do agree with you on the invasion of privacy issue.

My dog loves the beach, but when you work full time he doesn't get to go much, I would be wrapt if my hoiusemate took my dog occasionally as well, I think it was a fantastic gesture by the housemate, can't understand why you both got so sh*tty about it.

The roomie is right about doing everyone a favor, but you can't take someone's dog without so much as leaving a note behind saying such as, "I took the dog."

My brother was married to this kook chick. She wanted a dog, and begged my brother into buying her one. Not long after, they split and she refused to take the dog. So he keeps it. He lives in another state, so whenever he comes to visit he leaves the dog with the ex. Get this....she charges him fifty bucks to board the dog.

I told him that when he wants to go on vacation, take the pooch over to the ex's, hold a gun to it's head and say, "If you don't watch the dog for free I'm going to shoot it."

He doesn't listen to me. Go figure.

Peace,

Its alright to say yeah lets take the dog to the beach, i wish i was invited, its a ball to watch a dog have fun at the beach, especcially for its first trip - i'd hardly call it looking after the dog though, the dog hadnt been fed a thing all day, and hadnt even been given some fresh water. A quick phone call to the dogs owner to ask permission might have given Mr Housemate a reminder to look after the dog - in that weather its little things like that might have made it more enjoyable for the dog. And i'll bet he didnt take a bag to clean up the dogs crap with, probably just left it out in the public. He lost part of the dogs lead, and no one has yet questioned the most obvious...

Its summer. Dogs are not allowed on St Kilda beach.
