- My turn to post. I have a goldendoodle that just f’ing bit me during this morning’s walk! It stole a ball from another dog at the park. The owner wanted the ball back because she had to leave. I tried to take the ball away from its mouth, then it growled at me and f’ing bit me! I am so upset today. After taking care of it, spending all kinds of money on it, feeding it, sheltering it in my home, etc., it still freaking bit me! That shit head really pissed me off. don’t know what to do with this shitty mutt. I don’t trust it anymore. It may be bound for the city pound soon.

- It’s sad to say but to be honest you probably should have him put down before he hurts someone badly especially if it happens again. Some aggressive dogs can be worked with but dogs that bite aggressively aren’t anything to mess with.

- Sak. Be glad it bit you instead of the person wanting their property back. Take it as a warning of things to come and get rid of it.

- Honestly it isn’t even my dog and the hate is not directly towards him but to my sister that NEVER took care of him, the critter’s been living around a year more than me and neither my sister nor my brother (mom just plain hates pets) did jackshit, not for him, not even the bother to teach me about the responsability, they just kept him like a f- decoration that moves only because they actually feed him and gave him water.
Not even educating him, one major f- thing that always made me mad is that they didn’t make the effort to BATHE the dog, his fur’s dirty, the area around the stomach and paws is tainted with its own piss, we can count the number of baths he took his entire live with the fingers of one hand (and once they even had to sedate him, the last time a vet even puked), and niw he’s turned into a stubborn asshole, barking his lungs out so my brother gives it from his food, pissing and pooping immeditely cleaning his previous mess and now entering into my room and eating my cat’s food like it has its f- name, honestly, it would be better the creature died already, he had a miserable life from the start, just let go, motherf-r isn’t even physically sick much less terminal to just euthanize it, I have been a bad owner and that is probably the single thing that will drag me to Hell since my siblings just plain don’t care, I’m now taking care of a cat and she’s bringing me joy, but that dog is still alive and I don’t know why, god dammit just stop.
I’m realky sorry for the long and gross story but if I didn’t tell now I was just going to explode, I feel horrible, I’m bawling my eyes out and probably not going to sleep, I never want a dog again in my entire life…

- I hate my dog. I hate him so much. I try to love him, I try to do all the things the dog nuts say you should do. That doesn’t stop this stupid pos dog from barking, whining, and begging for attention constantly. He’s so dirty, but who has to bathe him- me! He’s my husband’s dog and the Damn dog lays on his side of the bed. If that dog even comes near my side I kick him away! And most of all I hate the stupid, constant lip smacking and gulping the dog always does! Adopting this dog was a huge f- mistake.

- My entire life, I thought I was a dog lover. People say that dogs are loyal and unselfish, help with mental illnesses…blah blah blah. BULLS***. I remember begging for a puppy when I was a kid and my parents got me one. After a few months, my parents hated the runt so much they gave him away. I was in tears and resented them. Now as an adult, I now understand my parent’s torment and stress over that dumb dog and feel grateful they lived through those months just for me.
My boyfriend and I have recently been fostering 3 daschunds for his mom. They are the most obnoxious, clingy, spoiled little bastards I’ve ever seen. They are all over 7 years f****** years old, doesn’t know ANY tricks, s*** and pisses all over the house and carpet whenever they please, refuses to do business outside and won’t even respond to their own names.The two other loud and annoying daschunds have since left and we are now stuck with only one.
My boyfriend is a dog lover and spoils her by letting that stinking stupid idiot of a dog on the couch and on the bed. I can smell dog slobber all over the couch and when we don’t lift her up, she will whine and whine and WHINE. She will slobber on her paws and lick her ass all day long and will try to lick me with that tongue. I can’t even take a s*** or a shower without shutting the door because the dog has extreme separation anxiety. She even whines when I’m behind the damn shower curtain!
Spoiled little runt will not eat the dog food I give her and whine and beg for human food. She only listens to me when I have treats and will refuse to take walks. Once she stopped in the middle of the street and refused to go any further. I had to pick up her fatass and carry her all the way back home. I feel like the dog’s damn slave. She made a big puddle of drool on our bed and the whole house literally stinks of dog, s*** and urine.
I can’t wait till we get rid of her. The worst part is, I was very affectionate with her at first and spent a lot of time spoiling and coddling her. I now hate her and now she won’t stop following me and tripping me where ever I go. Why can’t she follow my boyfriend around instead? They used to live together for ****’s sake. Dogs are loyal? BAH. BULL****. Dogs are not f****** loyal. They only follow you around for food and for attentionwhoring, all for their own glorious benefit. Screw dogs.

- Thank god, I am not the only one dealing with this. My damn dog slobbers everywhere, up the walls, on the TV, sofas, beds. He was spoilt rotten when my boyfriend got him back from his ex and he rules my entire house.
I feel for you but am so happy to have found his site to vent about this thing with like minded people.

- I’m so happy I’ve found this site, I honestly thought I was going crazy with my thoughts about my stupid dog!
Let me start from the beginning.. last year my boyfriend saw a advert for some puppies on a bungalow near our home, within 10 minutes he took me to see them and quickly got me to agree to buy one! Worst decision of my life! I feel like a complete mug for paying £200 for a mixed breed Jack Russell Chihuahua!!
The pup was cute but within a few months I was noticing all kinds of annoying behaviours like the dog had to be getting constant attention, jumping up constantly, licking himself then trying to lick my family members (this is vile), eating poo from the garden, showing teeth, and constant staring!!
It took me weeks to finally get my partner to see these things! But the final thing that has made me hate this dog is the growling and teeth baring at my children! The dog does this all the time now whenever you ask it do anything! My children have never been left unsupervised with this dog! I think it generally does hate little people! If it’s in the garden and God forbid a child is out playing or walking past my garden the stupid dog goes mental! It’s so stupid and paranoid it barks at anything i.e.. a leaf.. a bird.. people walking past.. the neighbour’s… the washer… the heating system… the list is endless!
When I try to get it out of a room so my children can eat a meal without being stalked it will growl and show its teeth!! I really do hate this dog! I feel bad for feeling like this but only a few weeks ago we had visitors and as always we have to put this stupid dog in the garden because it constantly jumps up at visitors and just will not listen, anyway it was doing it’s stupid barking and whining and kangaroo jumping up at the back door (this is very embarrassing when people cometo my home.. im at the point now where I wish people did visit me because the dog gets me so stressed out) well my partner went out to tell the stupid dog to lay down… and it jumped up and bit him!! I hate this dog even more now!!
I can’t laugh or cuddle my kids if the dog is near because it gets so jealous it will puss or wine or now growl!!
We now keep the dog outside when the kids are at home because I simply do not trust it!! But while it’s in the garden I’m constantly telling it to shut the fk up because all it does is bark or whine!!
I’ve been in touch with several rehoming centres and the first 4 I tried said there was no way they would take it because of how it’s behavior is. Wtf!! These people are supposed to help?
So these stupid charities are quite happy to leave a dominant horrible dog with me and my children!
After lots of phone calls I’ve finally got this evil unhinged dog on a waiting list to be rehomed. I simply cannot wait for the day this awful weird dog is gone! My whole family now cannot wait to simply have our home back, never again in my life will I ever get a dog again. I used to love dogs until I bought the dog from hell! Thank you so much for this site! I don’t feel so mad now
-
- It’s me again, I missed so much off from my previous post… This dog chews and destroys any toys I buy him, he will eat grass then puke and eat it!! Why would it do this? Gross!! It eats snails and slugs and if I try to stop it I will get growled at! The thing that confuses me with this dog is if your on your own with it, it will listen and behave to some degree but have more than one person in the house and the dog will go from being dominant one minute to shaking and trembling like a nervous wreck the next minute! I do think this dog has some serious issues, and I’m at the point now where I can’t even take it for a walk, he will pull like crazy on the lead, bark at any dog or human and god forbid if we pass children, he goes mental, it’s so embarrassing I’ve given up taking him for a walk, I’m really at the end of my patience! I’ve even thought if the dog wasn’t microchipped I would love to open the door and just let it go, or I’d take to a vets and say I’d found it! I really can’t cope with the constant neediness from this dog! I’ve never felt anxiety until we got this dog! I just cannot wait till its gone, then I get calm and tranquility back in my home! I feel the same as a lot of people on here, I’m happy to know I’m not crazy feeling this way about a dumb animal, thanks for allowing me to get this frustration off of me

- our dog truly is the dog from hell…meant to seriously destroy our lives…why we’ve not gotten rid of him after all the BS he has pulled is totally lost on me
I’m currently 8 months pregnant with baby number 2 and despite all the bs and undue stress we’ve put up with this f’n mutt over the years we still have not had the heart or intelligence to find him another home. here’s a list of all his shenanigans thus far:
– Tore up the interior of not one, but TWO vehicles
– gnawed through a portion of the crown molding of our front door, door leading to the garage and exposing a 2.5×3.5 ft chunk of the adjacent wall and insulation
– gnawed at a portion of the stucco and wall in the laundry room
– tore up numerous articles of clothing, shoes, and the like
– constantly licking his paws to the point where they turn raw at times and ruining our sofas in the process
– sheds all over the place
– gets extremely anxious for no apparent reason
– shivers and shakes when my husband and I are having a normal conversation
– regularly jumps over our baby gate and into our bed or the guest bed only to wake us up with his f’n licking
– is extremely picky about his food, we spend over $100/month just to feed him organic
– runs out the door numerous times making you chase him for hours all over the freakin neighborhood – the major occurrences being once when we were on vacation, so we couldn’t relax because we were pondering whether or not to fly back to find him and most recently today, on my spouse’s birthday both of us rushing home, me an hour away in the city, toddler in tow and my spouse from work at least 30 min away…frantically running about the neighborhood
Sadly, the list does not end there…I just don’t know what the F to do. On top of this crazy, manic depressive mutt (understatement of the century) is my old pee and poop everywhere 13 y/o ass-breathe-dumb-as-a-door-knob-barks-at-everything yorkie mutt

- I want to play fetch with this dog on the highway!
Had to live outside because he chewed everything. Of course he’s chewing on fence and house outside. Now he’s getting out, actually digging under neighbors fences and destroying their stuff now. SPCA got him and called cause he has a chip. My husband picked him up!!!!!! Built him an expensive dog run, still got out, put him on a chain in his kennel, still got out!!!! He destroyed my expensive patio furniture, kids toys, etc… He is out right now terrorizing the neighbors but I have a baby and toddler… I can’t abandon my kids to chase a dog down. My husband works out of town and is rarely home!! It’s his freakin dog from hell!!
The dog even jumped in the pool with us and almost drowned my toddler, I was holding the baby… Imagine pulling a large dog off your child with a baby in your arms in a pool!
Can I hire a dog assassin????
I can’t get rid of him, no one wants him, all the physco dog lovers are like “oh I hope your children never mess things up cause you’ll get rid of them!!” Oh I want to smack them in the face! Ahhhhhhhhhghhhhhhhggjvfdgjxhih!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- A dog rant:
Ok I would actually like dogs if it wasn’t for my severe dog allergy that seems to be getting worse and worse. I’m in high school and practically all my friends have dogs. I try not to go over to their houses because if I do, my nose will turn as red as a baboon’s ass from all the nose-blowing, my nose will get so congested that I can physically NOT BREATHE out of my nose, I will break out in hives wherever the dog touched me, and the eczema on my hands will start to itch really badly and sometimes leak fluid, and my eyes will turn red and swollen. All of these effects also happen even if I didn’t even TOUCH a dog. Heck, if the person sitting in front of me in school owns a dog, I can tell immediately because my nose gets stuffy and runs if I get near them. The dog hair from their shirts alone is enough to trigger my horrendous allergic reactions. There is one friend’s house that I go to which her dog literally claws its way up to your face and runs around barking whenever someone comes down their driveway. That dog died of old age, and I was like Yeah! I don’t have to deal with this anymore! But no, they just had to go out and buy a new one. All these stupid people go out and buy dogs like it’s a necessity of life. Like, HELLO, I might have an asthma attack and die because I’m so allergic to your dog but you just HAD to go out and buy another one? And then even though you know I’M allergic, you invite me over to your house? That’s like forcefully feeding your lactose-intolerant friend milk and watching them roll on the floor with stomach cramps afterwards. These stupid animals are ruining my life (I’ve been getting colds literally every month because my immune system is so worn out from fighting dog chemicals I get in my system) and I really want to just shove them off a cliff. They also just look so dumb and their brains must be nonexistent by how unintelligent they act. Literally everybody in my neighborhood owns dogs and I am constantly hearing their annoying barking in one in the morning when I’m trying to rest my immune system that was overworked by dog saliva. On top of that, I’m severely allergic to dust and grasses, and my allergist diagnosed me with chronic congestion. Having a dog allergy this bad is so annoying and it is literally preventing me from having a happy, healthy life. And to think that I have to continue the entire rest of my life with these allergies? No thank you. I have tried allergy medications, but they stop working for me after a few months. I literally hate dogs so much. Everytime I see one I want to punch its stupid face. Does anyone else have dog allergies like mine?

- I hate my dog. I wanted a little dog that didn’t shed, but my husband insisted we get a big dog. This monster has chewed holes in my wall, eats my kids toys, gets into the shoe basket to eat their shoes, sheds all over my house, drools on everyone(collies aren’t even supposed to drool), knocks my toddler over, bites the kids, knocks the glasses off one of my older kids, none of the kids like him, and I wish I could get rid of him. This dog has cost me more in vet bills than he was worth, he eats his own sh**, and barks in your face and tries to bite your face when you yell at him for anything. Did I mention he barks constantly and pees whenever he barks too much? But to top it all off, my husband says it was MY idea to get this dog! Oh, no. So I get to take care of it, clean up after it, and listen to it backsass me more than my kids, while avoiding being bitten, and now he says that I keep it crated too much, well he’s not doing damage control, and the kids are more important, I tried to compromise by building a run to put him outside during the day, but husband says no, so the crate it is, because there’s no where else for him to go that he won’t hurt someone or destroy something. He won’t get rid of the da** dog either, even after watching it knock the toddler down hard, and bite the older kid in the face while knocking his glasses off. I’m so tired of hearing husband say his behavior is normal. No it’s not, I’ve owned many dogs before and they don’t do this. This dog is making me hate dogs in general, and I used to love dogs!
-
- Tali, my husband says it was MY idea to get this dog
If that is his reason for keeping the thing, get rid of it and tell him that was your idea too. Your children come first and if the dog is not compatible with your family especially your children it doesn’t qualify as a ‘pet”. Most important, there are NO EXCUSES for a dog ever biting a child.
Get rid of it
-
- I agree with you, and I would just get rid of it, but the dog’s papers are in husband’s name so unless he signs off the dog I can’t do much. Maybe if I’m lucky, one of the kids will forget to close the gate and he’ll run away…it almost happened last month so I can hope. Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

- If you “forget” to close the gate make sure you take the dog’s collar off first. I made that mistake and the idiot was returned to us. I did eventually have a happy ending, as chronicled by my earlier posts. The bitch died! Died because her awful owner never had her altered so she developed mammary cancer. God it is nice to live in a clean house again. It cost $1200 to have the house repainted because her nasty ass drug across every single wall in the house. There were, literally, dirt/oil/ass blood on the bottom of every wall. Good f’en riddance.
-
- Thanks for that tip, he conveniently already doesn’t wear a collar since it messes up his hair. I could be sure it doesn’t mistakenly get left on…

- I have 3 dogs, one is a 6 year old Cocker Spaniel, one is a 4 year old Maltese shihtzu and the last one is a Maltese Terrior/Shihtzu. The first dog I ABSOLUTELY hate. I know it’s wrong to hate a dog but I hate her so much. She weighs 20KG, she always sits on the floor while we’re eating dinner, lunch or breakfast and whines until we give her food, she refuses to walk up the street so I have to forcefully drag her, looking like a complete idiot infront of everyone on the street. She has a HUGE plate of food at dinner time, THEN wants more food afterwards. She refuses to listen when I call her at the door when taking her out to the bathroom. We’ve had her since 2008 and I’ve hated her everyday since.
The second dog (Maltese Shihtzu) I absolutely adore him. He has a beautiful temperament and personality, but he is also very nervous all the time. (When we got him in 2011 he was underfed by the previous owners.) He is an absolute NIGHTMARE when walking as he’ll chase ANYTHING that is around him, i.e cars, birds, people, dogs, basically anything that moves. If there is a car driving up the street (which 99% of the time there is whenever I’m walking the dogs) he’ll lay himself on the ground until the car is near, then run around like a complete idiot barking at it until it passes. I’m nearly at the breaking point with these dogs.
The third dog (Maltese Terrior) is only 2 years old and he DOES NOT STOP PEEING INSIDE THE HOUSE. No matter how many times I take them out to do their business (I usually let him do 3-4 pee’s outside before bringing him back inside) and he still does it all around the house. ABSOLUTELY nothing seems to be working.

- Yesterday, I drove these horrible dogs to a no kill shelter about an hour away from my house.
They couldn’t take dogs over 15 pounds.
They also apparently couldn’t tell me this over the phone.
The shelter volunteer said “Bring them back in a week, we should be able to take at least one next weekend. What’s one more week, eh?”
I wanted to hand her the leashes and walk out. Tell her to put up with them “for just one week, eh?”
This is not only costing me gas money and time, but they’re charging a fee for taking the effing animals. $80 that I don’t have, but still will gladly pay for the sake of my own sanity.
The only reason they wouldn’t be able to take them next week is if they don’t pass the health evaluation.
If they don’t, I have no idea what I’m going to do…
-
- If they don’t pass the “health evaluation” say, “Well since we can’t keep them and they are apparently “unhealthy”. I guess they are going to NAME OF YOUR LOCAL KILL SHELTER. I bet they back peddle. Their behavior seems very passive-aggressive as if they are making it more work for you to get rid of them. Did they happen to disclose what the criteria was for passing the “health evaluation”?
What about a behavior or aggression evaluation for all the pits that get dumped there and they recycle to families with children?? Dog recyclers are such unethical assholes.
-
- They said the dogs have to be heartworm free so if they have heartworms, my boyfriend wants to (get this) PAY FOR DOGGIE HEALTH INSURANCE AND GO THROUGH SEVERAL WEEKS OF STUPID HEARTWORM TREATMENT (that I will have to deal with, since they are 90% my responsibility). No. Just no. If they have heartworms, I’m having them both euthanized right then and there, and then I’m getting kitty health insurance to make sure my Fergus is heartworm free. Eff this shit.
-
-
- That’s a ploy to get you to change your mind. They use it here too. Put an ad in the paper for a free dog and someone will take them, just be sure to give a great sob story about how wonderful the dogs are but you just have to find them good homes for whatever reason. If you want them gone now though park your car a block away from the shelter in the middle of the night disguise your face and leave them tied up at the entrance. They will take them in in the morning, just go to a shelter you haven’t been before so they don’t recognize your dogs. I wish I could do that with mine, but the monster is still here. Open gate and he decides he likes it here…I may have to deal with him for the next 20 frickin years.
-
- I’ve tried the sob story on craigslist, facebook, and local newspaper ads. The smaller dog is the worst dog ever. Found them a new home and the new owners brought them back because of this little bastard. Next time, if I get any responses, we meet at their house or at a neutral property. I do not want the next people knowing where we live so they can’t return the stupid shits.
-
-
-
- Just tell them that for 80 bucks it’s cheaper to have them euthanized and you can’t deal with them one more day. And mean it when you say it. The cost might be slightly more but then you are truly rid of the mutts.
Shelter workers are programmed to get you to change your mind.
-
- I think I’m going to have my therapist write a note (like I’m in effing grade school) saying that the animals are derogatory to my mental health. My appointments with him have doubled since I began dealing with these mutts, and my dosage for my anxiety medicine has TRIPLED.
Of course, that won’t matter because it’ll be MY life on the line, not the lives of those canine bastards in my kitchen.

- Fyregrrl, I’m so sorry these mutts (and your boyfriend) have caused you so much stress. I don’t think I would have bothered with a no kill shelter myself, especially for the small dog; that one in particular sounds unadoptable. The no kill freaks are giving you the runaround, most likely because they’re not confident they can adopt them out. Because of their idiotic policy that all animals that aren’t adopted are to be hoarded indefinitely, they are very selective about what they take in (except when it comes to pitbulls, apparently). Then they rely on those demonized “kill” shelters to pick up the slack.
-
- I would have taken them straight to the county pound (where they likely would have been PTS in 2 days) but the boyfriend wouldn’t allow it. One of the biggest arguments we’ve ever had. We only fight about the dogs. They’re dogs that our roommates adopted at our old home. It isn’t like he has any special attachment to them.
I fractured 11 bones in a car accident 5 years ago (8 fractures were in my spine and I’m just glad I’m not paralyzed), so when he comes home saying “I don’t feel good, I don’t wanna take the dogs out”, I’ve taken to saying “Well, I’m in excruciating pain everyday, I never wanna take the dogs out, but because you won’t let me drop them off at a kill shelter, I have to. Put on your big boy panties and assume responsibility for your decision. They aren’t my problem when you’re home.”
-
-
- I forgot to say, the reason the shelter didn’t tell you over the phone their rule that meant they couldn’t take your dogs is because they couldn’t see the dogs. As soon as they did and saw how unappealing the dogs were, they lied and made excuses as to why they couldn’t take them right then in order to buy time for them to make a decision.
-
- But they wanna take the less appealing one this weekend?
I’m honestly not worried about finding a home for the lab. It seems like everyone around here wants a lab. I’d like her to go to a no kill shelter to make sure she goes to a good home, but the little dog is going to a shelter because no one wants him.
They told me they could take him this weekend, but it would be a while before they could take her.
Whatever. Just get at least one of them outta my house!!!678-840-8072

- I never had a dog until well into adulthood, but I heard other people go on and on about how “my dog is my best friend”, “don’t know what I’d do without my precious/smart/loyal dog”, etc. Like others who have posted, my mother gave up her two children but always had 2 to 6 dogs at a time who were her “babies”. I agreed to take a rott mix 6 years ago because my daughters friend told me his dad was abusing the dog and they begged me to. With about 1-1/2 years of work, I got him housetrained. Two years ago, I made a horrible, horrible mistake and adopted a stray pitbull mix from the Humane Society. She was not housetrained. I was told to crate her at night as a dog will NEVER, I was assured by many people, poop in their crate. She did and after the third morning in a row of having to hose down her, the crate and everything she’d touched I put it away. I’d rather clean the floor than deal with that nightmare. She barks incessently, eats plastic and wood, and if she escapes, harasses people on the street. She is terrified of and aggressive to any dog she sees other than the ones she lives with. She still has accidents overnight and now my rott does too. Then my sister died and I took in her incredibly ancient, stinky, sickly dog. At first, I was happy to do this because I was grieving but I also didn’t think this dog would live so long. I now have 3 disgusting, drooling, barking for no frigging reason animals living in my home and I resent it deeply. My house STINKS. We have replaced the rugs in our living room three time, they have destroyed one sofa, and my husband and I clean up pee and poop from our floor every single day. They all have some kind of skin condition which I have tried everything to cure. The amount of money we’ve spent on vet bills makes me want to cry because I truly can’t stand these animals. I know, I know, I did this to myself but I’m really sad because I have always considered myself an animal lover and never thought I’d think this way. Every day I look at the old one and think “Good Christ, would you go ahead and die already?” I mean, how much more decrepit and gross can she possibly get? Man’s best friend my ass. I simply cannot understand why people like owning dogs. When they finally die or get rehomed or whatever I will NEVER NEVER own a dog again. I do really well with cats.
-
- Shelter dogs are there for a reason, though she could just be stressed at the new environment. If you can’t straighten her out in a couple weeks it’s a lost cause. My advice get rid of the pit bull because harassing is one step off of biting and that’s a big lawsuit waiting to happen. The rottie may improve after she’s gone but if not rehome him. The old one you may be stuck with because shelters kill them since they aren’t adoptable and most people don’t want an old dog. I know that from experience, as I had a dog who was perfect in the house then got this other dog and to show how much he hated her he would pee on the carpet every day until we gave her away then he went back to being good. I’m sorry for your situation, it sounds like mine times three. Dogs will go in a crate, and all you can do is control where you let it happen. Close her in the bathroom on tile, or the kitchen for right now, you will not be surprised by random piles all over your house but she shouldn’t be rolling in it either. That will help until you can find some sucker, I mean good hearted dog lover, to take her off your hands.

- I don’t know where to start… I had an 8 year old dog who I adored, she was an embarrassing demon on the lead but she never bit or shit or puked or licked, just a good old fashioned dog; miserably clingy but an emotionally responsive companion who actually listened to you. She passed, and here we are…
We got another Jack Russell and I could kill him. He is a miserably disobedient vile f***wit and sometimes it makes my blood boil just looking at him. He knows what he’s doing but he hates me enough not to care, and my partner loves his bones. I’d have got rid of him months ago but I’m not allowed to because he is “getting better”, nope, he’s just getting better at hiding it. I have lost the enjoyment of my other animals because I have to protect them from him (and again, he won’t do it in front of me, but LITERALLY the moment I turn my back) and I’d rather have the pets I actually love back than this piece of s*** I have to clean up behind every f***ing morning despite him being over a year old, and frankly, knowing f***ing better.
I have never been p***ed off this much by anyone before, human or animal. I punish him and he perks his ears up the moment I look away because he clearly doesn’t give a s***. My partner is away and I so desperately want an act of God to relieve me from this awful dog, because he’s been a little better with my strict rules, but still terrorises guests and I know all hell will break loose again once sweet little Daddy’s back to let him up on the bed and loose around the house to destroy things again… He didn’t jump on the bed ONCE when it’s only me, Daddy comes down for a day and he immediately jumped onto the bed with full entitlement!! F*** me, who am I anyway?!
No one in our family can take him, and my partner loves him so much he doesn’t want that to happen… I need an excuse for him to go, the stress isn’t fair on me and he won’t unify his discipline with mine so I’m constantly being undermined (and by the in-laws!). For instance, I don’t let dogs lick, my last one was trained not to within a day, it’s utterly disgusting. Yet my partner lets him lick all over his face and neck… And the noise it makes! Just vile!
I honestly can’t wait for him to die. He has completely ruined dogs for me. I’m hoping the s*** will bite me so I can rehome him and not be the villain…

- I met my boyfriend about a year and a half ago. We both have been single parents of girls and were looking to complete the circle. We lived in separate household and when he asked me what I thought about him getting his 16year old daughter a dog, what was I supposed to say? NO!!!! I felt like that’s on you, I had my place and he had his. His logic was to teach her responsibility and company for the summer ( not in a million years did I think we would move so fast). We moved in together and now I’m 33 weeks pregnant. I stay most of my days in my room because I truly dislike living with a dog. The downstairs is his area. He is under the table when we are eating. In the kitchen when I’m cooking. He keeps saying is his daughter responsibility but there are time that I still have to do things for this dog specially because she started working. Now my concern is that me and the baby will be limited to the upstairs because I refuse to have the baby on the filthy carpet or hair infested couch. he is a cute lil boxer but God I really hate him on the carpet, hair everywhere. You see he also sold me on the fact that his daughter will take the dog with her when she leaves the house and I’m starting to believe that this will not happened in the next 3 years. He once put an add in Craig list to get rid of the dog but then all this animal lover came to the rescue with comments like: be careful of bad people, dog fighting, blah blah blah…. And the end the dog stay. God knows I have been trying to cope but it is difficult. I feel like I’m the only one in the house that doesn’t like living with a dog. There have been time that u felt like getting all my stuff out of storage and live on my own again, where I had nice good stuff and a proud and clean household. I miss those days. I feel like I moved one step forward by blending and building a family, but two steps back by living limited attached to a bedroom and having a cozy home like before..

- I can add to your sentiment, I’ve recently had a baby, and all my pleads with my partner to get the f***ing dog under control before the baby arrived fell on deaf ears. I’m now stuck with the s***wit being a total c*** and I’ve no time to train her as of course my child comes first. He then chose the perfect time for his anal glands to run amok. My partner will never see eye to eye with me about the bloody creature. I regret ever bringing him home. Yes he might be the baby’s wonderful playmate one day as my partner envisions but not before knocking him over/pulling his arms off grabbing a toy first… I’m dreading my little one crawling with the filthy, disobedient, excitable creature s****ing on the floor and dragging God knows what through the house and inevitably destroying toys out of spite (and knowing not to and doing it when I’m not looking knowing him)… Hope partner will come to his senses.
So good to find this site and know I’m not alone!!
-
- Oh thank you…. Not alone…. I know we have to get rid of it I just don’t know how to tell him…. I’m almost ready to move out.

- When I first went over to my partners house the dog took an instant dislike to me and would ignore me. Occasionally it would acknowledge me by pissing on me or sleeping on the side of the bed that slept on and growling at me if I bumped into it in the middle of the night. When my partner would go out it would wait for him at the front door, ignoring me until he came home and jumping up on him and licking him. The dog hated my partner giving me any sort of attention and would whinge so he would stop cuddling me and give it attention. After a year my partners brother decided that he actually didn’t want the dog and my partner and I moved away for work and they left the dog with their parents which was wonderful. We eventually moved back and my partner wanted to have the dog again, I foolishly thought that would be ok. The dog is little and it’ll stay outside I thought. To be honest I forgot about how bad the animal was. Nope, the dog is a nightmare. The dog would constantly jump up on the bed, the couch and insist on staying in the house all day every day, refusing to go out to the toilet. It would cry if you left it outdoors. The dog would piss on the bed which is absolutely disgusting and constantly lick its ass all the time and then try and lick our son. The dog chases and barks at children and even tries to bite our nephews. It jumps up on people who visit us and constantly stares at me. When I do let it out when we are leaving the house it runs away and hides under the bed or the table so I can’t get it. This makes me extremely frustrated. The dog refuses to eat and will go days without eating until we throw out the other dish and give it new food which it will eat but only when my partner is home so he can shower it with praise for eating. It shakes when my partner is home pretending that I’ve done something to it during the day so my partner tells me off for abusing the dog. I don’t have anything to do with it during the day at all. The dog now tries to steal attention away from my son when my partner is playing with him because it gets jealous, it’ll even bowl him over when other people gives our son attention. It stinks and its extremely stupid and manipulative. My partner thinks its the best dog ever and we even have fights when I suggest getting rid of it. No one in his family wants the dog, my partner is the only one. When we are having dinner the dog will sit under the table and my partner will pat the dog constantly, therefore encouraging the animal to sit under there and beg for food. The dog constantly suffers from constipation and has shit stuck to its ass which it has to be washed constantly. The dog is extremely needy and has emotional issues. I absolutely hate the dog, I hate seeing it, and I hate having it around. It follows my partner around the house and constantly gets in the way, I’m often standing on it or tripping over it because its in the way.

- Ain’t it funny how that mutts which aren’t taken care of act exactly the same as mutts who are taken care of. And yet delusional mutt loving owners still insist that there is a difference; the real difference being the environment the mutt might be brought up in, “dogs are dogs, they will act as dogs do” and this behaviour IS NOT likeable or humane.
Even a dog who is loved by its owner, and fed a full amount every day will be shown the ‘love’ or ‘loyalty’ a dog might have by biting it’s owner for a various amount of reasons, including coming close to the food you gave it, or shitting all over the place, destroying your stuff.
A dog does not show loyalty, it shows curiosity and hunger, if an owner falls over and dies, I’m sure the dog will go to it and whine, but if it had words it would most likely be thinking “how am I going to eat now”, the dog will then stay by the owner, eat the owner, or leave it doesn’t depend on how the dog was brought up, and usually IT DOES depend on breed.
So yeah anyway, I have never loved dogs, as a child I was tricked into believing that dogs were cute, and nice, and loyal and so on…but that all changed when I was attacked by the 2 dogs my mother loved (one was very small, and the other was almost bigger than my mum), they attacked me together as a group and with no motive, i was not cruel, and I hardly ever touched them, it was completely random. So yes, my delusional dog loving mother grew a heart, and a brain and got rid of them…
This event put a lot of stress on me, and ever since I wasn’t blind to what dogs truly are, over the years I noticed a lot of stories, and real life events that helped me understand what those disgusting beasts are, but then my mum goes on about how she wants to buy more mutts, when she told me that I LITERALLY began to cry, I didn’t eat dinner for weeks knowing that my mum was going to buy something I clearly hate, and gave me a traumatic experience when I was a kid, as though she didn’t care about me at all. But in the end, even though she knew that it was going to make me even more depressed than I was, bought a new dog, the ugliest of all breeds, the shih tzu, ever since (about 6 years ago) I’ve stayed in my room, annoyed, every time I come out of my room the stupid mutt comes and licks me, and sometimes bites my toes which helps me resort to violence to literally kick the cunt away.
Well, my mum absolutely knew that I was extremely depressed, and upset of her wrongful actions, but over the few years she decided to buy MORE f- mutts.
It’s true what they say, dog lovers are delusional, and they tend to love dogs more than their own children.

- Are you able to move out EF?
-
-
- Oh my god…
I can hardly believe it…
I am still in shock…
BUT THEY’RE GONE!
Gone! One went to a new home last weekend (and his new owners have already asked me twice to come get him. No take-backsies! Your problem now, bwahaha!!) and the other one left today.
I was so happy that I cried the whole way home. My boyfriend thought I was crying because I’ll miss the dogs (he was crying because he’ll miss the dogs-I was crying out of sheer joy)
I think this might be the happiest day of my life. My cat and I are curled up in bed, he’s eating a cat treat and I’m drinking a glass of wine and we’re enjoying the sound of silence.
I hope all of you have the same good fortune I did in getting rid of those whiny, mangy, gross, slobbery beasts!
(I even changed my ringtone to the hallelujah chorus in celebration.)
-
- My sincere CONGRATULATIONS to you! Bravo for being pro active in getting your life back. if only the rest of the general public was so brave.

- @dogsfromhell – Thanks! I feel like I can breathe again. Fergus (my cat) has been more relaxed and loving in the last 24 hours than he has been at all in the past 2 years of living with these hellhounds. My anxiety is already starting to calm down (as is Fergus’s) and my allergies are even better today.
It’s like I’m seeing the world through rose-colored glasses today…

- I am just so glad that I am not the only one that feels this way. I can’t eat anything without being starred at and for some reason she chooses to stare at me when there are 4 of us eating.
My dog eats her own shit and the cat shit with litter on it. She is never happy, I feed her good food, give her water, let her out and she still just whines. I can’t *f*ing stand it!!!!! I don’t want her on the couch but dh thinks it’s cute. Does he clean the house/couch? No! Sheds like crazy I call her a German shedder. Deep down I hate her.
I try to love her, she is cute but that is all! I seriously can’t stand it!
-
- Oh and she stinks too and walks through her own shit and into the house. The rest of the family loves her. I’m the bad guy. None of them have to clean up after her. At least she is old…
-
- Oh, thanks for the response. I have tried to get others to help, they don’t they will just leave it and go on living if the couch is covered with disgusting dog hair/funk they will just throw a blanket over it and lay down. Then I just have to wash the blanket too. Anytime I ever mention it I am just being an annoying old sea hag. Miserable.
-
- Congratulations Fyregrrl!!!! I’m glad they’re gone and you (and Fergus) are feeling so much better. And LOL at the family who tried to return the dog! So glad you stood your ground: no backsies!
-
- @Dog People Are Nuts – I told the people who adopted him all of his bad habits. I said he isn’t housetrained, he chews and tears up everything, he barks and whines and howls all hours of the night, he goes outside and then comes inside and immediately craps in the floor, he’s horribly destructive, he chases cats (and other small animals when he’s outside), and has never been around kids. I screenshot the email where I told her this, and she still wanted the little a-hole.
So, when she asked me to come get him and I told her no, she followed that up with “But he is using the bathroom in the floor!”
So I sent her the screenshot and said “WELL WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A DOG THAT ISN’T HOUSETRAINED???”
I thought that was the end of it since I wasn’t sympathetic to her puppy troubles…I was wrong.
A few days later I get a text “You’re really gonna have to come get him now. He tore up our blinds and we lost our $200 deposit on our rental home.”
I just sent her the screenshot again and asked her if she understood the words “horribly destructive”? Because she was well-warned and took him on anyway.
When she kept texting me, I gave her the number to a couple of kill shelters and a no-kill (in our area) and told her to figure it out and to do what was best for her family.
Would you believe that she came back and asked me to pay half of the donation to get him in a no-kill? HELL-EFFING-NO! I never wanted the dog. You said you wanted him. Now you got in over your head because he’s a little douchenozzle, and you wanna get rid of him, but you don’t want to take financial responsibility for your actions.
She kept saying “But he cost me a $200 deposit!!! I shouldn’t have to pay his donation amount alone!!”
Well, dear, he cost me a lot of time and money with double therapy visits, triple medication, medication for him to calm his crazy ass down, medication for my cat’s anxiety brought on by this horrid mutt, a $300 pen that he escaped from regularly in the yard, a $200 dog house, a $200 crate for the house, and many other costs to fix what he tore up at my home as well.
Nope.
Eff that.
Possession is 9/10 of the law, and you chose to be in possession of him, so YOU need to find a solution that works for you.
/end rant
-
- LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! What a freakin’ moron! You told her EVERYTHING and she STILL wanted him? Well done taking the screenshot and throwing it back in her face! It’s her problem now; she knew what she was getting into and he is no longer your property!
-
- More poof that dog owners have substandard IQs. Expect her to malign you by saying the dog was horribly abused when she got it. You were extremely wise to save the emails proving that you gave her full disclosure and she willingly took the dog.
-
- @mrfatpony@aol.com, I had an experience where I thought I had found him a home last spring. I verbally told the new owners of all of his bad habits. They said no problem. I gave them my address and they came to pick him up.
Four days later, I woke up to a terrible noise. It was pouring rain, thundering and lightening, and there was a dog howling relentlessly. I thought it was our dumbass neighbor’s dog who has a doggy door but isn’t smart enough to come in out of the rain. Since I was awake, I went outside to smoke a cigarette in the hopes of relaxing and getting back to sleep.
The howling continued while I was outside. It sounded close, but I thought maybe my hearing was off (I have chronic ear infections). Before I finished my cigarette, what happens? That little bastard comes running up on the porch from the outdoor pen (that I had agreed to sell to a friend) with a plastic baggie stapled to his collar that had a note inside that said “We can’t keep him. He’s too hyper and destructive.”
Of course my boyfriend comes outside at that time, and insists that we bring this dirty, smelly, wet dog in the house. I argued because I didn’t want my home to smell. He eventually said “If Peanut (hell dog) has a bath, he won’t smell”. So, I regrettably agreed. Got him in the house and in the bathtub and the boyfriend starts to go back to bed “because he has to be up early for work”.
Nope.
Nope.
Hell-effing-NOPE.
I might not have to wake up as early for my job, but I hate this dog and am not bathing him. Good luck!
(This event was what prompted me to find this site and it has been so therapeutic for me!)
Fast forward about 7 months and we finally get someone else interested in him. I refuse to give my address. I agree to spend my gas money delivering the dog. I document everything via text and email-All of his negative attributes and her responses to my telling her these things.
I learned from my first experience.
I covered my ass this time.
I’d advise everyone else to do the same so you don’t get a midnight smelly, wet, dirty, gross present like I did.

- Fyregrrl I sold horses most of my life. I never failed to disclose anything I knew about the animal. And honestly even the best horse usually has something a new owner needs to be aware of. Nature of the beast. Humans don’t listen. Or they just choose not to hear. They also lie and or over estimate their ability. Which as a casual observation to dog owners is a huge problem and why so many have dogs they can’t do anything with. And that’s not pointing a finger at you. Don’t take it that way. Dogs simply do not stay trained without regular work. Oddly my cats training is part of their behavior patterns in the house and I seldom have to remind them of anything. I believe that’s because they are actual animals and not man made mutants. Dogs as a species are seriously F’d up. My cats repayment in companionship more than pays for the work in taking care of them. I resented every second I had to spend taking care of my husbands dog. I finally carried out my threat and it got put down. He wouldn’t take care of it. I loved it . The tech was trying to make nice with the thing and it BIT her. We warned it bit anyone it didn’t know. Couldn’t break it. Came to us as an adult dog and had issues. And the dumbass stuck her hand in the kennel and it clamped down on her. I signed the papers, paid and left. Refused to pay for any disposal except as waste. IN fact left the dog and the crate. As I left the tech was getting medical attention for the bleeding hand. And you know what. Who knows if they put the thing down. One of those bleeding hearts probably took it home. Where it probably barked, pissed, crapped and tried to bite anything that got near it. The damn thing got dumped on us we were just supposed to be the ride to a new home. The new people took one look and refused.
I told my husband if he ever brought home another dog he better stop by the hardware store for something to patch the floor and a rug cleaner. Cause I’ll put it down on the spot. He’s smart enough to believe me. His idea of helping with his own dog was to play fetch with it once a month. Never again.
-
- I meant that I loved it that that the tech was so stupid she stuck her arm in the crate to try and pet the thing. How freaking stupid can you get. Not that I loved the dog. I loathed that thing.
Which again proves my point. Dog nuts are just stupid. I bet if it was a cat and I said it scratches they would have had a catch pole. But no they think dogs are just so damn smart. Personally I would have loved to give that dog the shot and watch it die. The endless misery that thing caused. It barked at everything. Hell it barked at nothing. It just barked. I never missed it for a second. Driving away was like going on vacation.

- This website has been a real tonic to my nerves. I started off just disliking dogs and not really wanting to be around them, then I got stuck with someone else’s puppy which I have been trying to “re-home,” which is just a polite way of saying I’m trying to pawn this hellhound off on someone else.
This dog’s mission in life is to drive me insane. He is a destructive, noisy, hyperactive poop factory. I dropped him off at his new home where he promptly began soiling their rugs and snapping at their other dog. I can’t take this animal back – I will lose what few marbles I have left if I have to spend another hour in the same COUNTY with him.
I’m not a praying person, but I’m petitioning whatever higher power may be out there to make this beast get his act together so I don’t wind up with him back under my roof.
I have to email the people back, and honestly, I just needed to get this off my chest so I can write something that sounds polite but firm.
-
- I suggest the word NO and give them the name of the shelter nearest them.

November 17, 2015 at 6:09 pm
- I found this site after googling “husbands dogs are driving a wedge in our marriage”. We have been married for almost a year and a half. I am currently 7 months pregnant.
Prior to this pregnancy I was tolerant of his dogs. When we were first married, he had 3 dogs. 2 that he adopted on his own and one that was left with him from a previous relationship. One of them died not long after we were married. So now its just the pit mix and the miniature schnauzer left. They are both older dogs. But the schnauzer has become senile over the last 6-12 months.
I absolutely hate my husbands dogs and I can barely tolerate them at this point. We are having our first child in a couple of months and I really wish those dogs were not going to be here when the baby comes. Its bad enough now.
Nearly every day I come home from work to find piles of poop and pee all over the house. But the poop doesn’t just show up while we are at work. Sometimes I will be here, in another room and my husband leaves for a short period of time and one of the dogs goes and poops somewhere. They don’t indicate they need to go outside, they just go wherever they can find a spot in the house.
The schnauzer has started becoming incontinent. We will both be in the room with him and he starts peeing or pooping right there. That is driving me insane.
I can’t stand their neediness, their noises, their behavior. Listening to that pit bull eat makes me want to throw up. Its all driving me mad. I have talked to my husband on several occasions about how his dogs make me feel. And he resents me for not loving his “kids”. It gets us into arguments. So I try not to say anything.
Last night when I came home to poop and pee all over the living room and hallway, I texted my husband and said “I can’t do this anymore”. I love my husband so much but I can’t stand being around the dogs so I want to seclude myself as much as possible. ‘
I am glad I found this site where I’ve been able to read other people’s rants about dogs so I don’t feel so alone. I know most people are dog lovers, especially in North America. So there’s not many places I can tell my feelings.
-
- Of course I forgot to mention the backyard. I HATE that because we own dogs, the backyard is basically unusable. Its not a major concern now, but when my son gets old enough to play, I want a clean yard for him to play in. Not a yard full of dog poop.
When he is old enough to crawl, i want to feel safe knowing he isn’t going to crawl into some pee or poop left there by a nasty animal.
I am just waiting for these dogs to die. I really thought the schnauzer was on his way out several times, but he keeps hanging in there. Its frustrating.
-
- Sorry for the multiple comments. I keep thinking of other things that bother me. Excuse the pregnant lady!
Holidays are coming up which reminds me of how my husband and I can barely spend time with family because these dogs are house-bound. I’ve always resented the fact that we have to leave my family’s get-to-gethers way earlier than everyone else because we have to get home to the dogs. And when we are able to get away for a night, we have to have his mom come stay at our house.
Or a friend to come check in on them, etc. Our honeymoon was the longest we’ve been away for and that took several people staying at our house!

- Melody, I totally feel for you, and others who have to put up with dogs they hate for the sake of the relationship. It’s a tough spot to be in, and hopefully once your child is born your husband will come to his senses regarding the craphounds. I particularly don’t understand how people can tolerate the way dogs completely run their lives, like you mentioned about having to come home early from get-togethers and having to line up multiple pet-sitters if you want to be away for even a couple of days. Never will I understand how the dog-owner lifesyle appeals to anyone. I have friends with whom I can’t make any out of town plans with because it’s such a rigmarole to get the dog’s needs situated. Their lives are totally restricted all because they insist on living with these obnoxious beasts, who repay the favor by destroying everything not nailed down and voiding everywhere on everything. Blech.
-
- I’m just wondering who’s cleaning up all that crap and urine ? The idea of a 7 month pregnant woman messing around with that mess makes me pretty mad.
If your husband isn’t the one cleaning this up ALL the time figure you have a little less than 2 months to reclaim your lives. Keep your bedroom door shut at all times when you aren’t home. And stop cleaning up any of the mess. If you have to play hopscotch through the living room and kitchen and get a garbage bag to sit on the sofa. You think you’re miserable now. Wait until you have to deal with his dogs and a brand new baby living in a home where two dogs consider it their personal toilet.
I’ve seen it go on. My MIL let her grandbabies crawl on crap crusted carpets because she never changed the litter box and none of her dogs have ever been housebroken. When they could walk they couldn’t play outside on the swing set because the whole yard was covered in old dog turds. Or the dogs couldn’t be trusted alone with the kids. I wouldn’t eat standing up over there. The kids ate on the floor. I had regular mental debates with myself about calling CPS.
Also consider the property damage to your own home. I looked at a foreclosure that we would have had to rip the sub floor out because urine from the dogs in the house has seeped in. I visited the house on a humid day. Eventually the smell gets in the floor and the walls along with ruining your furniture.
You know I doubt your husband is a bad person. But he needs a reality check here. Its unhealthy for you. and him and most certainly your child to live in a home with dogs that are not housetrained.
BTW if your husband really loved them he wouldn’t want them to live in their own filth either. What you really need is a bit of marriage counseling so there is a neutral party to help at least resolve the crap in the house issue.
We’ve had cats in our home for over 10 years. Aside from some corner damage on an old sofa before I knew how to train them I can’t really thing of a thing they have destroyed. And it’s not because they are cats and I hate dogs. We trained our pets and made sure their needs were met. I know a lot of people who have dogs that never mess in the house. Or bark all night. Or have crappy manners. If course I simply no longer go to anyone’s home that has a vicious breed or know nasty untrained crotch sniffing POS that jumps you at the front door.

- I live with my mother, who has two cocker spaniels. I can no longer cope with them. I don’t dislike dogs or any animal, but I most certainly am never having a dog. To paint a picture, I have a two bedroom 1st floor apartment and I pay the majority of the rent. I work part time, Monday to Friday, 8-2. My mother works almost everyday and when she is home I have seen her walk the dogs maybe twice in the last few months. These dogs are not mine, I never wanted a pet yet I am the one up at 5am feeding the f-ers then walking them before work. They are house trained but extremely lazy and disobedient and don’t bother asking to go out (I have a balcony which they go on) just shit and piss where they please. Funny they ask to go out when they just want to bark they’re stupid heads off. They will come back from a walk and half an hour later there is piss everywhere. My flat stinks. They stink. They leave hair EVERYWHERE and as soon as you Hoover thy mault everywhere again and they steal anything they can reach to rip to pieces. They bark non stop at everything and are constantly slurping and gulping and licking their paws, the sofa( which my mother lets them on, wtf) and me if they can. They jump on me and follow me around. I spend my time at home when I’m not walking them or feeding them or clearing up after them in my room because it’s the only place not caked in dog hair which doesn’t stink! I don’t want to hate these dogs, I’ve tried training them consistently for so long now but I’m making no progress and I’m at the end of my tether. If you are reading this and thinking of getting a dog don’t do it! they are like a baby which doesn’t ever grow Up.
-
- @Danielle welcome to the world of dog haters! It’s OK to hate them! We don’t judge here. The only thing I will correct you on is that dogs are absolutely nothing like having children. I adore my kids. I f*ing HATE dogs and most furry animals. I don’t hate them all but I do the majority. The only pets I like in my house is fish. I finally got rid of the stupid dog I was talked into this past summer. Well my husband talked me into getting a cat to rid the house of mice recently. I said ok. Normally I like cats but at other people’s houses. Surprise, I hate this cat. She’s perfectly friendly but apparently imprinted on me. I HATE animals in my house. She won’t leave me alone!! She meows at me one more time and I’m going to rip her voice box or with my bare hands. Cats & dogs are lazy, shed everywhere, waaaay too needy, litter boxes are disgusting and I generally just don’t like their stupid faces in my house.
-
- I’m horrified and deeply sympathetic towards the plights of the folks who have posted since I was last here.
I finally was able to rehome the awful beast who was making my life miserable. Unfortunately, I had to take him back, but I was then able to almost immediately give him to someone else. (Then THEY wanted to bring him back, does this tell you anything?) I gave them a definite NO. The animal is your problem now, not mine. The anxiety and hate I feel about that dog was so consuming I couldn’t sleep.
It is SO much more peaceful now. The cats do their business in their litterboxes, they don’t whimper and whine constantly. Ugh. It’s quiet. It smells better.

- Melody,
I hope your luck changes. My husband has this american bulldog–i hate him and I have SO much resentment over it. The dog is a nice dog BUT it stinks like nothing I have ever encountered before. It also sheds worse than anything, I vacuum non-stop and am constantly trying to make my house smell better. I have literally gated off 95% of my house and yet that dog still has my house stinking. I hate when my toddlers are covered in hair, no matter how much I vacuum its everywhere. We had rocks put in the back yard around the pool, rather then walk over to the grass area that dog poops all over the rocks. I refuse to clean the poop, I change diapers thank you very much. The dog is on 90$ food and allergy medicine, its all BULL SH*T. It does not work! I am so sick of ppl and vets whining about allergies and dog food. It costs a fortune and there is no change…ITS A DOG and a disgusting breed at that. I have always loved animals but this has pushed me over. I would never recommend this dog and is stinky slobbery self to anyone! On top of that my husbands mom brings her dog that pees every step and scrubs its butt on everything when she visits. Its a constant fight! I think it is so rude to bring your dog to someones house—PPL keep your POS at your own house like I do. I dont like the holidays anymore because really I dont want her to visit with the dog and my dog just makes my house feel “not nice and dirty” to me. I get that my husband feels responsible for the dog but enough is enough. Its just not fair to everyone else. Im at the point where I am close to saying Im not paying for this house anymore. He should get a second job and cover the house bills on his own then since he gets all the say and the dog continues to peeve me. I get mad when I see it at the door when I pull up, and the stupid dog loves me. Yes, I do feel guilty for hating it but i have SO much resentment for that dog and the other one. Eventually I might give up. According to the lifespan I see documented, i have 3 years to go. Although, with all the expensive dog food invested I probably have more than that. I did find that I reallly got irritated when I was pregnant with my second little one, also a boy. I really was nesting and was nuts with have the house clean. Its been 2 years and while I have calmed down a little (i can handle crayon on the wall at times) I still have cant stand the dog smell. Its just SO BAD.

- I had “dream dog” when I was little and now that I have the money, i finally got myself a golden retriever. I didn’t really check it for personality traits but bought one together with a friend. First thing that bothered me was that it smelled. I thought coz it never had a bath yet as a 2 month old, but even after that and up until the time I gave it away, it stunk lika a skunk on my nose. I hate the look it gives me -the puppy dog eyes and i feel that it is a stupid dog. Doesnt live up to my expectations..it grew up ao fast that it was still a puppy stuck in a huge dogs body and that annoyed me to no end. I hate that its so hyperactive. Apparently, it only works well with active people. I still love our engliah bulldog which is perfect for a lazy bum like mw
-
- I hate that I am waiting on 2 dogs to die. I can’t ask my husband to get rid of either of them, so I am stuck waiting. Both the schnauzer and the pit bull could live up to 15 years. I think the pit bull is 11 or 12. We aren’t sure of the age of the schnauzer. But he could live for another year or more. He is already senile which gives me hope but it also sucks living with an incontinent senile dog.

- My boyfriend and I have a dog. Who is now 1 years old. We have had the do since he was 4 months old. Well my boyriend keeps treating this dog like its our child. As if the dog is a person. The dog always smells and the fur gets every where. I dont know if any of you guys know what “anal glands” are? But its somthing that this dog has to have expressed. It makes the dogs but smell like routed fish. The smell is the most nasty thing you will ever smell. The dog will rub his but all over my floor and house making the whole house stink. I want the dog gone because he has become the worse burden on us. He has separation anxiety and barks at everything. He is also leash aggressive so walking him is impossible because he tries to bark and attack anyone that walks bye. He chews everything in sight. The dog is just the worse. So my boyfriend wont let him go. He says either the dog stays or I go. What should I do. This dog is not a human and we dont have time for it. I just want the nasty thing out of my house.
-
- If someone chooses their dog over you, it’s time to gtfo, especially when they haven’t had the animal long enough to have formed a lifetime attachment.

- Update!!
We have been going in a circle about the dog!! I have expressed that the dog triggers really high levels of anxiety for me!! Yes, I have had anxiety since i was 13. I have high levels and the dog is a trigger point for it. I have expressed why he needs a to go. But my boyfriend is more devoted to the dog then our relationship. His argument is, It is the only thing im asking to keep. Please keep in mind we have had the dog for 8 months and of those 8 months two months he wasn’t with us. SO really six months.
My boyfriend argues that “I NEED TO COPE WITH THE DOG” and “Co-exsit” I cant when ever he lets the dog out i get panic attacks. To the point where being home is hard and I just stay in my room. Im not saying we should just take him to the pound. Im saying we should find him a new home. We live in an apartment small Seattle one. We are gone from 6:45 Am to 5:30 every day. My boyfriend is content with me leaving.
So we broke up and I am moving out. I cant cope with something that has been causing my anxiety to sky rocket. Anyone who has this mental illness knows you can not cope but rather remove your self from the equation. Ultimately is for my own mental health and like I said he is more devoted to the dog then me.

- hi,
I would like to preempt this rant by making it understood that I do not hate MY DOG!! MY DOG is a wonderful, well mannered, obedient 75 lb Rough Collie that I’ve owned since he was 10 weeks old. I pride myself on being a good, responsible owner and having a well behaved dog. So what changed?
my Aunt fell ill and her 8 lb yorkshire terrier was left in need of a home. With extreme reluctance (I DO NOT like small dogs) I agreed to take care of the dog temporarily while my aunt got back on her feet. I was promised it would be no more then a month–at most–before this little terror would be out of my life. 3 months later and this beast is still here and it is driving me completely insane!!!!!
I’ll admit, i’m a bit of a dog enthusiast. I love my dog. That said I don’t expect–or need–everyone else to. Likewise my dog loves me, but he doesn’t want or expect the affection of strangers. He’s not hostile, he will happily accept a pat from those interested, but he’s not the sort to shove his nose into strangers hands or sniff everyone’s ass.
THIS DOG though. THIS DOG is the bane of my existance. Prior to getting this little asshole I enjoyed a nice life with my Collie. Let me paint you a picture:
BEFORE:
In the mornings i would wake up to find Sirius (my dog) asleep in his bed under the desk by the door. He would calmly and quietly sleep or chew on one of his toys until I woke up, no matter how late that may be. He never woke me up without good cause. ((Good cause can be defined as: I am not feeling well, i really need to go outside, or there is an intruder)).
I am a history teacher at a local private school so my schedule is pretty open. I have classes from 10am-3pm and I only live about 15 minutes away. Now that Sirius is an adult he doesn’t have to be crated while I am away–he doesn’t chew on things, he is housebroken, etc.
after i get back from class he and I go on a 40 minute bike ride where he trots to the left of my bike. Sometimes i stop by the local market to pick up a few supplies, while i’m inside he sits quietly by a nearby tree (that he’s leashed to) and waits for me.
Sirius usually plays with his toys or sleeps by the couch while I do my school work in the afternoon. I have a large kitchen but he knows better then to enter the ‘cooking area’ while I am there. When I’m eatting dinner I give him his ‘specail bone’ (he only gets this chew toy during dinner), and he will knaw on his bone happily ingoring the human food.
If it wasn’t clear already: I have a good dog.
AFTER:
My mornings now start with a SCREAMING as this little beast decides it’s time to wake up. The scream is unlike anything I’ve ever heard a dog make before!! The only sound that has ever come close was the noise that my Collie made when he was 5 months old and a flowerpot fell on him. He cried for a minute straight and I thought that his leg was broken (he was fine, but sore for a few days after). This stupid STUPID dog makes THAT kind of sound EVERY MORNING to WAKE ME UP!! I CAN’T TAKE IT. I have insomnia, falling asleep and staying asleep is a chore for me, and this dog is not helping any! I tried to put him in a different area of the house at night but he will SCREAM and make those sounds the entire night!! Not only does it keep me up but it keeps my neighbors up as well!! So in my room he has to say.
I have to keep him crated while I’m away at work because apperently this dog can’t f- hold it!! My dog has never once gone in his crate, nor have any of the other dogs I’ve ever owned. BUT THIS LITTLE MONSTER!! This stupid dog will piss and shit all over himself!! I’ve been working on housebreaking him sense i got him but to no avail. He was trained to use pee pads by my aunt and while i have attempted consistantly to train him to go OUTSIDE he absolutely refuses!! He can’t even accurately poop and piss on the f- pads!! Half the time he is several inches off the mark!! I HATE HAVING TO KEEP THOSE F- IN MY APPARTMENT! IT’S DISGUSTING!! And if I don’t clean them fast enough there is a 75% chance that the little creep will eat it!! DOES MY DOG TRY TO EAT SHIT? NO! SO what the f- is wrong with this little bastard?? My dog was house trained in a week! SO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS DOG!
My afternoons are hell now. Not only is it embarrassing to walk this little bastard–he doesn’t walk politely on a leash! He barks and lunges at passing people, dogs, squirrels, cats, etc. He is too small to bike with and if I leave him alone for a second outside he SCREAMS and people look at me like i’m a terrible person. If I try to leave him alone and take my dog out he throws a fit!!
He begs at every meal, has to be crated while i cook and eat if I want any peace. He is destructive! HE ACTUALLY ATE MY STUDENTS HOMEWORK!! That might seem mildly amusing, but it was NOT funny to the 10th graders to whom I had to explain that the work they spent their afternoons working on was ruined. It was a personal project too, and I had several that had put a lot of thought into what they were turning in. This little sadist chews INCESSENTLY on everything! Chair legs, drawers, shoes. I try to keep a neat home, but the second I turn my back that monster is tearing into something new! I bought him the exact same chews as my dog (but more appropriate to his size) and he STILL insists on chewing on things he shouldn’t! I have coated the house in the bitter-apple anti-chew spray and he just chews on those things MORE!!
BUT WAIT! There’s more!!
This dog isn’t just a terror to ME! It’s also horrible towards my dog!! He is food aggressive to the point where if my dog walks into the same room that mutt is eatting in it will attack him! Sure my dog has a notable size advantage but Sirius is far too good natured to fight back as this little dog goes right for his ears. I’ve seen him growl at, bark at, and bite Sirius when he gets jealous and he’s tried to attack the cat on several occassions!! It’s not just the other pets though! HE barks, growls, and snarls at house guests!! I have to lock him in his crate whenever someone comes to the house and everytime I do that they look at me like I’m a bad person!!
THIS THING is a nuissance! I know dogs! I love dogs! THIS IS NOT A DOG!! THIS IS A RAT!! And he’s driving ME, MY DOG, AND MY CAT ABSOLUTELY INSANE!
The thing that complicates this issue is that it’s not my dog! It’s my aunts! I’ve tried to give it back but she is in ‘fragile condition’ and can’t take it back (BULLSHIT! She just don’t want this little demon back in her house!). No one else in my family will take it in! So I’ve decided it’s time for an ultimatum! There are 3 exceptable outcomes from this:
1) It can stay at a local daycare facility that has boarding options until my aunt is ready to take it back. I REFUSE to pay for the finanical burden of this responsiblity! I don’t care how they agree to do it–my aunt can pay for it or everyone can pitch in 2 dollars i honestly don’t give a f-!
2) Someone ELSE can agree to foster the dog until my aunt is well.
3) The dog will be placed in a Rescue that specializes in Yorkshire Terriers.
I will give them 2 weeks to decide before I take the drive and drop this hellhound off for good. I’m sick of this dog
NEVER EVER EVER will I own a little dog. I thought I didn’t like them before. Now I hate them. IF it weren’t for the fact that Sirius was such a good dog in his own right I would swear off dogs as a species!!! I always thought it came down to training but this little bastard has taught me otherwise! SOME DOGS are just BAD DOGS!

- I can’t stand my dog Bella. We got her when she was about 5. She’s old now. This may sound harsh but I’m happily awaiting the day she finally croaks.
I was always an animal lover. Everyone always told me how great I was with them. I never once thought there would be a day where I completely detested one. I have some other pets which I completely adore. I would never wish any harm on them.
But then there’s Bella this German Shepard mix. She’s completely stupid, literally. She paces around the house then will stop in place and stare into nothingness as if her brain crashed.
She shits in the living room and jumps up on furniture and sleeps on it like she’s some sort of princess. Well, I have bad allergies so it’s only logical of me to try to get the dog off the couch. But you know what my mom does? She’ll scream at me if I try to get the dog off the couch. And when it’s time for the dog to go in the garage because the family is leaving, she never listens so I have to tug her by her collar to the garage. When I tug her she always starts walking towards the destination so I’m not even choking her. But guess who gets screamed at anyways? Me of course and not the stupid dog.
This dog is ALWAYS getting in the way. She doesn’t know how to move at all. She’ll literally walk in front of you, stand diagonally across and stop right there. I loss track of how many times I’ve tripped because of her. It happens to my family members all the time. She just doesn’t move at all. She just stands there braindead.
She stares at you all the time and it’s the creepiest thing ever. One time my mom woke up to her right in her face staring. No joke. Who knows how long she was watching her sleep. But no Bella’s precious and special, not weird at all.
She’s always puking in her mouth. Imagine this: you’re sleeping peacefully in your bed. You wake up to a lovely day with sunshine shining through curtains but then you hear a dog running down the hall and the sound of her choking and puking not once but multiple times. It’s disgusting. You have to make a mental note to avoid any wet spots in the hall on your way out of the room.
She shits in the living room all the time. We’ll have the screen doors leading outside open but nope she decides to shit in the living room every time. And I’m the one who gets yelled at for putting her in the garage because of this.
She follows her wittle mommy around everywhere. If I scold her she runs to mommy because mommy will protect her. It’s not “cute” when an animal always follows someone around. It’s annoying and Bella has f ing separation problems. Whenever I scold her I get yelled at. My idiotic mom and brother made me out to be some bad guy. Today she was getting on my nerves because she was following my mom around everywhere so I scared her off. Guess what? I got screamed at by my mom and my brother gave me death threats and cornered me threatening to punch me all because of that dumb ass dog. It’s stupid how they could like such a stupid animal. She’s spoiled rotten and stresses me out so much. I just want her gone and out of my life. She’s a sorry excuse for a dog. It doesn’t sound bad at all but oh trust me it is far worse. It’s funny because she used to be owned by someone else but was sent to the pound before us. I wonder why, haha?
I’m at my breaking point. This dog is a nightmare.

December 12, 2015 at 8:56 am
- As a kid, I was dog-crazy…dog books, dog posters, begging always for a dog, walking neighbourhood dogs. My parents were wise enough to JUST SAY NO. When I moved out at 19, first thing I did was get a dog. He was pretty good, though he was a bundle of neuroses, I thought at the time its because he was a shelter dog and probably had a rough past. He lived to 8 then got throat cancer. Having him euthanized was horrible. he did not “peacefully fall asleep” after being given the injection which my vet assured me would be peaceful. He vomited, coughed up foam, and twitched like mad as the life drained from his body, while I bawled my eyes out and held his paw, when it was all over I stumbled out, thoroughly traumatized, and went home to cry on the couch in the fetal position for the next two days. I swore off dogs. But, being an idiot, one year later I got another. This time, a purebred. I did research on dog breeds, completed online dog-breed-compatibility tests, and was repeatedly told to get a bulldog. Aww how cute, the best match for me is also the most adorable doggy ever! Uh oh, lots of health problems though. Then I discovered the “Olde English Bulldogge” touted as a “new” breed, with all the lovability of other bulldogs but minus the struggling-to-breath and terrible genetic health problems. I found a breeder with beautiful dogs, and a wall covered with championship ribbons from dog shows. I bought a gorgeous white and tan pup, who had an amazingly funny, loving personality. HE was the light of my life, in fact my whole family loved him, then not long after his second birthday he started acting funny, drinking a lot, not eating, pissing like a racehorse. A vet visit revealed he was near the final stages of chronic kidney disease. For just over a year, we watched his slow decline, cooked him special homemade diets for dogs with kidney disease, cleaned up his daily vomit and diarrhea, and cried every day. One day he just didn’t have the strength to stand up. It was about a month after his third birthday when we took him to be euthanized. It was just as awful, traumatic and NOT PEACEFUL AT ALL as my first dog. I was heartbroken. But clearly I am brain broken too, cause guess what, 6 months later we bought another dog. A tiny 12lb rat terrier, chosen for the breeds reputation as being healthy and long lived. Unfortunately I overlooked the fact they are also one the MOST HYPER DOGS IN EXISTIENCE, highly intelligent, and extremely neurotic, anxioius, and all in all a PAIN IN THE ASS. Had him for a year now and it takes everything I have to tolerate this animal and be nice to it, he drives me up the wall with his neurotic energy, screaming-barks, and near constant whining and lip-smacking. Unlike my prerious dogs who loved to nap, this one is go-go -go all day. Goddammit I’m such an idiot. In North America we really do make dogs out to be this amazing, life-altering creatures, that if you dont’ love you must be some sort of sociopathic monster. NEVER AGAIN NEVER AGAIN NEVER AGAIN. Guilt prevents me from giving up this dog, but fortunately I met an amazing man who loves this dog, and the dog bonded to him, so that’s good at least now I can say “that’s my boyfriends dog” and when the time comes to have this one injected with a substance to stop his heart, at least I wont have to be the one to be there.
-
- You’ve come to the right place Marie! We all feel your pain! I will never understand animal lovers/sympathizers. They make excuses for those disgusting, freeloading, useless creatures! My husband and I argue about it constantly becuase I won’t allow dogs or cats in the house. I hate them all. I have to be home all day and deal with what’s here so my word is final. I hate the fur everywhere, the smell, the obnoxious barking or meowing for no friggin reason, I HATE all of it! People call me deranged or dead inside but I don’t care. Just because I don’t want to love up on a useless, disgusting waste of space doesn’t mean that I’m a rotten person. I love my kids dearly. I love babies. I donate food to our local food bank. I buy Christmas presents for kids in need. I go to charity events & raffles for disabled, homeless veterans. But all because I don’t like animals, it makes all my good deeds somehow not enough. I’ll never understand it.
-
- Chris. I just wanted to extend my condolences on the loss of your two dogs. I have no idea what vet you used but euthanasia done correctly is almost always very quiet process.
No one should watch their pet suffer like that. even a dog.
-
- Irritated. I have cats in the house. I love them. My personal view is that the majority of people that have pets shouldn’t. And people that don’t want one shouldn’t be made to feel somehow inferior for not wanting or liking or even loathing the idea of a pet.

- I hate my dog can’t wait till he dies he pissed and shots everywhere. Growls snarls his teeth of you dare try and move him off the side. He stinks breath smells of pure shit. He’s 10 can’t wait for a dog free life. He makes me depressed
-
- @myfatpony I totally respect people who like animals. I just wish more people accepted that I don’t. I’m not mean to animals. If I go to someone’s house that has them I’m respectful. I just personally prefer people.

- I am a vet tech. Went to school in tge Army and Worked as one for 15years before having kids. I grew up with dogs and other animals. I volunteer at shelters. I love animals. Wanted a dog for awhile after our last one. My husband said no. Then with him working nights and our neighborhood not being the greatest he decided to get us a puppy from someone we knew. Cutest dog ever. Australian Shepherd border collie mix. Very active. Super smart. I do so much for him. Even at nine months pregnant I was taking him on his daily 2 mile walk. But still he poops and pees in the house. Aggressive with my 6 kids. He growls bites, steals food right out of their hands. He also constantly runs off so I have to keep a choke collar on so we can quickly grab him. He has chased neighbors into their house, cars, ect. Growls at the little kids of the neighborhood. I try to keep him busy. I run him, take him for walks, buy bones for chewing,he has more toys than kids. Yet he is so dang naughty. Hes done training and can sit and give paw…but that’s it. I am constantly worried hes going to get out and bite someone and we will be sued. Even with all I do for him all day he can’t just relax. Hes neurotic and I can’t stand him. I feel terrible. O love animals but this one is nuts. What do I do with him?
-
- I honestly feel so much calmer even reading comments from people who share my opinion! I have felt like a horrible person for so long now just because I can’t click with this thing that has completely taken over my home and life!
I am sorry in advance for the rant but a place and an opportunity to get this off my chest will help, I think.
The dog came from my boyfriend’s previous relationship and he decided about a year ago that he just couldn’t live without his ‘buddy’ and adopted him from his ex. I have always wanted a dog and love animals and would never want any harm to come to any animal.
Period. But I just cannot accept this thing into my life like he expects me to!
Maybe I didn’t love dogs like I thought, but as the dog moved into my home, he has completely taken over. My partner wants him sleeping on the bed and the sofas and to basically treat me as his slave.
He growls at me when I am in the same room as him when he eats, he drools all over everything, his fur is everywhere. And I really mean everywhere. He stinks and is the most unhygienic creature I have ever seen.
My boyfriend doesn’t bother to walk him, because in his mind, the only thing his ‘buddy’ needs is cuddles with him on the sofa in the evening, so that job is left to me. He doesn’t work so expects me to do this and enjoy taking him out in the freezing cold after a day of work. I have to buy him certain dog food because he is too fussy to eat everything else, but is fine to pull the cupboard doors/ bins open to eat anything else he fancies.
The dog just rules my home and I cannot keep up with keeping him healthy and my home hygienic. My partner also frequently comments on how I don’t smother the dog with cuddles and I don’t let him lick my face. It’s disgusting! Why would anyone want to do that?!
I am also due to have a baby and none of my partners family can understand my worries about how jealous the dog gets about others getting attention and his increasing aggressive behaviour- because he is a ‘well- trained’ dog and would never hurt anyone.
I am yet to find anyone who shares my feelings and everyone judges me when I bring up how unclean and unpredictable he is and say what a lovely animal he is and how could I be so cruel. I am and never would be cruel to the dog, I just can’t stand having him in my home. It makes me feel anxious in my own house.
I am so grateful for the chance just to vent about it. Hopefully someone can understand where I’m coming from?
-
- Is the dog a pit or pit mix?
-
- Not a clue, as far as I know its just a labrador. Which are supposed to be the sweetest and most loving dogs in the world?!

- My husband and I have been living together for a year. He has a pug that sheds insanely. She also has reoccurring bladder infections. I realized early on that the shedding and pools of bloody piss were going to be a problem. I nagged him like crazy to clean up after and get medical care for his dog. My husband is now unemployed, I work 12 hour days. Yet a year later I’m the one that ends up vacuumimg couches, sweeping up dog hair and trying to budget to get medical care for this dog. It infuriates me. I strongly feel that if you cannot/will not take care of an amimal you shouldn’t have it. I am also depressed because he doesn’t seem to realize how much it bothers me. The dog is a stinky shedding and pissing reminder of how he’s dumped all of his responsibilities and financial obligations on me. I plan to get rid of this dog and I think he’ll hate me for it. But I kind of want him to. Maybe he’ll hate me so much that he leaves too.

- Osyria Kick your lazy selfish husband out with the piss arse dog and wave good bye for good, you will feel so much better afterwards.
-
- It sounds like in most of these cases, the partner is worse than the dog -for insisting on having it, being a lazy bum and not doing their share of doggy care. I was in this situation and life got better once I got rid of the dog AND the partner.

- Bad person, I’m not sure what advice to give you because it sounds like you want to keep your canine. I would have ditched the thing forever ago. A dog that’s causing you stress isn’t a good dog to have. Especially when it’s not getting any better. Also Border Collies and Australian Shepherds are like very high energy. A mix of those two sounds like a bullet of constant movement. Personally not a dog I’d recommend to anyone really.
Kattyottantanove I think you need to ditch the mutt. If your family really cares about you they should understand that your happiness, safety, and sanity are more important than the dog. As well as the safety of your child. Not to mention that your husband wanted the dog and makes you do all of the work. I’d personally kick him out too, but I’m not going to tell you what to do with your life in that aspect. All I can say is that I wouldn’t ever associated with people that cared more about my pet than me. Especially if the pet was a nuisance.
-
- I doubt the husband is going to leave when the dog goes because he is now unemployed and has everything paid for. He can just lay back and relax with or without the mutt.

- I don’t know where to begin, I’m all sorts of angry. Earlier this morning, I made the boyfriend eggs and toast with grapes. All the while as he’s trying to grub …our two shit dogs are begging per usual, I can’t f***ing stand it when they beg even when I’m not eating. Anyways, they don’t listen per usual and the bf doesn’t give a shit, says it doesn’t bother him. Well, it bothers the hell out of me. The bf tells me he doesn’t want the grapes and proceeds to giving the pieces of shits his scraps from the eggs, I grabbed the plate from him knowing he was going to let the dogs eat off the plate per usual, I could care less if he puts the f***ing plate in the dishwasher and rinses it or just toss the scraps into their food bowl but no, I’m always the one that’s gotta grab the nasty slime infected plates from the sink and transfer it to the dishwasher. I got pissed and tossed the scraps in the garbage, and the bf calls me a bitch. Note: we’re low on food, I didn’t even make myself a plate! I don’t know if I’m mad at him, those dogs, or myself for allowing myself to get so damn angry. I’ve always been an animal lover, I volunteer and walk dogs at the animal shelter. I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood. I’ve never felt so much hatred and resentment towards my pets before. I think of them as worthless dead weights. Waste of money, time, and energy. I wish I could just leave the home and let them three just be happy with themselves. The boyfriend was the one who brought them home in the first place anyways, I did not want any f***ing animals. I knew I was broke, I knew I didn’t have the time of day for them, I knew I needed to care of my damn self first. Call me f***ing selfish, I don’t care. I know my boyfriend is not happy with my behavior towards the dogs. He hasn’t spoken to me since I tossed those scraps. I’m over it, I can’t stand the fact that they get to be all up on the couch, all up on the f***ing bed that I sleep in, they put their filthy paws on the counter, there’s f***ing dog hair everywhere, they wouldn’t leave me the f*** alone when I’m cooking, the boyfriend is always giving them OUR FOOD.. these dogs ain’t shit why the hell do they get treated like royalty. Am I just mad that they get more attention than I do? I think I need professional help because I don’t understand the root of my anger and it’s getting out of control.

- Your BF was feeding food to the dogs when you didn’t even get a meal ???? Really ?

- Exactly what I was thinking MFP and dead-on DFH. I finally got my dog worshiping hubbs to put the dogs outside by stating an ultimatum that I intended to carry through…it’s me or the dogs. I would never give food to a worthless ingrate, much less a dog.

- I am so glad I found a place where people hate their dogs as much as I do. I was against getting a dog and my husband eventually told me he was bringing one home anyway. We had just bought a brand new home and rehabbed it and made it beautiful. I was so happy in my new house until he brought this dog home. The dog is a 120 lb German Shepard and has TRASHED our new home. Destroyed our hard wood floors. Breaks out the screens in our windows every spring and summer. Has torn up the brand new carpets on the 3rd floor. Has gotten itself stuck in our bathroom numerous times, trashing it completely. The dog even clawed out the screen to the bathroom window on the 3rd floor and got stuck on our roof!!! I had to calm the fire department at 3am to come get him down. I loath this dog with every fiber of my being and he has made me hate living in my own home. Everything stinks and is filthy because of him. I have contemplated poisoning this dog on many occasions. The only thing that has kept me from doing that is that my children love him, and he is actually very good with them. If it wasn’t for that, this dog would have been gone long ago. At this point the only thing I have to look forward to is the day it dies and I can’t finally live in a clean house again. I hate my life.

- I’m so glad that I found this site. Knowing that I’m not the only one who hates their dog is such a relief. My husband and I foolishly got a dog from the pound a few months ago, and I deeply regret it. My husband loves the dog, but frankly, I hate him. If my house was burning down, I’d save the cat, but make sure I locked the dog in. We got him to stop going potty in the house, but his excitement and submissive pissing is making me want to kill him. I’m constantly cleaning up his piss all the time from his being excited or when I try to pet him. Hell, even if I ignore him, he was his tail and pisses all over, but his head is down and he is obviously being submissive. He chews all the time, on everything. I hate it. His toys, I could care less about, but he has gone through 6 pairs of shoes. No matter what I try, he just won’t leave the shoes alone. We don’t leave food on the table, ever, because we know that would be tempting to him, but I had a photo album of our babies ultrasound pictures, we are expecting twins soon, and that f- got hold of it and destroyed it. That was the final straw. Him getting up on the table, and destroying those pictures. Literally every day, I have to clean his piss off of the couch. I don’t want him on the couch because he pissed on if, but my husband insists that he be allowed on it. I hate it. I hate the dog. I hate cleaning up after him. He goes outside a minimum of 4 times a day, every 4 hours, he goes potty outside. But his submissive pissing, if I thought beating it out of him would work, I would, but I know that will just make it worse. The dog lovesy husband, but doesn’t like me. I’ve never been abusive to him, but for some reason, whenever I’m around, he pisses all over. I want to get rid of him, but my husband loves him. I don’t want our babies crawling around on the floor that the dog pisses all over, or the couch. I’m, just venting. I tried talking to my sister about it, and she said, “that’s part of owning a dog.” No, I know lots of people that own dogs and they don’t have to worry about the damn thing pissing all over the f- place. I’m just sick of people basically saying that it’s not the dogs fault, and I should have expected this. For once, I want people to acknowledge that the dog is pissing me off, and that I’m not wrong to want to get rid of him.
-
- You are not wrong @hatemydog!! Dogs are a useless waste of space! I had one that did the same thing with the pissing and my husband loved the damn thing. I gave him a choice, me or the damn mutt. Beat thing I’ve ever done. I’ve been mutt free for 5 months now and it’s great!! I hope for yours and your kids sake that your husband smartens up.

- I normally never post things that on the internet. I love dogs. Sorry not sorry. I feel very bad for all the dogs that you are all saying you hate.
Dogs are like little people, you have to work really hard and be patient in order to train them to behave as you want. Especially rescue dogs, it sounds like some of these dogs who are rescues may just have some behavioral problems from whatever past life they had, which may require professional help from a trainer.
Dogs have different ways of communicating than people though and that’s what you need to understand when you have a dog. I wouldn’t blame the dog for chewing, barking, whining, or any of that. That’s what the dog has been taught that works (people reinforce this whether or not they realize it) so that’s what he is going to do. You have to train the dog that this is not the way to get what he wants. Training also does not happen overnight, nor is it some kind of “event”. Takes time and patience and slowly but surely the dog will get better if you train it correctly. Lots of dogs come back from worse things than what you all are describing. It’s not dogs you hate, it’s the fact that you cannot control them on a whim.

- Er, no. Cant teach my admittedly well behaved dog to shit in a litter box, clean the landmines in the yard, fix the mud pits, to quit with the stringy slobber thing hanging from his mouth, remove the disgusting dog musk smell from my home, chill the heck out when there are thunderstorms or fireworks, and so on and so forth. I am nice enough to my dog, i take care of him. However,you are providing your opinion in the wrooong place cause some folks (my hand is raised) just despise dogs. I enjoy looking at the from a distance, however
-
- No, I’m pretty sure I hate dogs. I can’t control my cat on a whim either but I adore him.

I feel very bad for all the dogs that you are all saying you hate.
Why?? They’re too stupid to know nor do we ever come in contact with them. Do you think they are on the internet trolling this site then need to see their therapist after learning we hate them??
Dogs are like little people, you have to work really hard and be patient in order to train them to behave as you want
By “little people” I am assuming you mean children aka our off spring. 1) The primary focus of educating/socializing children is not to “train them to behave”. Good behavior is a product of the socialization process that benefits the child not simply to get them to do what you want. 2). Dogs and children are not parallels. Dogs are man-made, hybrid, mutant, franken-pets and incidentally a different species. Children are OUR offspring who will eventually become independent members of society. On the other hand. you’ll be following a dog around with its shit in a bag for at least 10-15 years.
It’s not dogs you hate, it’s the fact that you cannot control them on a whim.
HaHa! LMAO Actually it is dogs that we hate. Conversely, dog nutters at the bottom of the food chain have an orgasm imagining they can control something, ANYHTING, even if its a dog. See Dog Therapy 101.
….and keeping drinking that nutter kool-aid
-
- @Dogsfromhell you’re my hero! I couldn’t have said it any better myself!
-
- Can I reword?
When I say train to behave…I can say, you need to teach them right from wrong. If you never teach a dog (in a way they will understand) not to poop on the floor…that’s what they will do. In the same way, if you don’t take the time to teach a small child in their young important socializing years that stealing is wrong, it will be much harder to teach them that later on in life.
I don’t think it’s wrong not to like dogs. I understand that they can be stinky and drooly sometimes and they require a lot of maintenance and you don’t like that, that’s cool. I find a lot of joy in having a dog, but I realize that not everyone does and that’s okay. I didn’t make it clear before that’s not what I was getting at.
I guess the post was a lot aimed towards the posters who have said they hate their dog because of its behavioral problems, which is totally fixable in most cases. And I know a lot of dogs will dig and chew and destroy out of boredom or pure anxiety, or because they get rewarded for it, it gets the owner to pay attention to them, even if it’s in a negative way. I feel bad for these dogs because it doesn’t seem to me (from what I’ve read on the posts) that they are getting the attention and guidance and authority they need.
There are obedience classes everywhere! If you are going to be stuck with a dog you don’t like, you might as well put some time into training it and make it so much easier to live with and maybe you won’t want to kill it every day.

- Sara you need to get the hell off this page. This is a safe place for all of us sane people who HATE dogs to vent about the stupid things & people like you who judge us. I hate even “well behaved” dogs. They are disgusting, needy, expensive, aggravating, useless wastes of space & air. We have the right not to like the stupid things. Just because we hate dogs doesn’t make us bad people. As a matter of fact I think we’re better for admitting our distaste. At least we’re honest and I’ll be damned if you’re going to come on here and bash us for expressing our feelings! Get out of here with that nonsense. Some dogs (all in my opinion) just stuck. Not all mongrels can be trained. Sometimes (most of the time) they’re just needy, vindictive, messy, disgusting basis of drool, dirt & fur!!
-
- I don’t think it’s wrong not to like dogs. I know that they can be stinky and drooly and a lot of maintenance. I think saying they are a useless waste of space is a little harsh, but as long as you aren’t hurting them, it’s okay to have that opinion. I didn’t make it clear in my last post that was not what I was getting at, my apologies.
-
- I appreciate the apology but you shouldn’t even be on this page. This page is for those of who need to vent. It’s not a debate forum. It’s not dog lovers vs dog haters. It is for those of us who hate them, period. Find a place that fits your own needs but please keep your dog liking/loving comments off of this forum. You are not going to change our minds.

- Now that stupid f- shit and pissed at my mother-in-laws house, and no one wants to punish him. I would do it myself, but being so far along in my pregnancy, I don’t feel safe dragging him up and down the stairs to rub his nose in it with him pulling against me every step of the way. I really do hate that god damn dog. If he does it at her place, he is going to think that it’s safe to do at our place, and we got him house trained not too long ago, its a new thing for him, something he can easily ‘forget’ and I’ll be forced to retrain him again. I hate that dog so damn much.

- Thank GOD I have found a place that voices every one of my feelings!
Dogs…hate em, can’t stand em, will NEVER have another one. My boyfriend has 2 and I have been told if he had to choose between me or the dogs he would choose the dogs. Stinky, hairy, muddy feet, whiny, staring, on the couch when I am not home, probably in the bed too.
Our clothes are covered with hair and I clean every day. I get bitched at because I have long hair and shed, but he doesn’t care if he gets dog hair in his mouth from them. I’m the one who bathes them, and honestly I just wish they would die
Bacon, is the coolest but he’s so hairy I can’t stand it. Plus he smacks his mouth nonstop. It drives me insane. The other dumb a@@ mutt I wish she would run away. She s jealous and constantly tries to get in between us. I PRAY TO GOD one day she just dies
Rant over. I just hate knowing I come in second to a stinky sh$t bag
-
- I get bitched at too about my hair but it’s okay when it’s coming from the dogs? SMH. I honestly believe that dogs are man’s best friend and men should take full responsibility and do all the damn cleaning and slave work.

- GOD I HATE MY DOG I got him for my boyfriend from a shelter he is spastic , disobedient (pulling on the leash far to the left or right), pees inside my home even after taking him potty, he has a screaming problem he’s loud and makes me look like a monster or something I don’t harm him he’s just mentally screwed up, he gets set off and begins screaming I hate this dog!!! And he sometimes stares at me dead in the face

- I got a new puppy over the holidays. There’s some days when I really hate him. After reading some of the horror stories on here, I’ve realised he’s not that bad, but I’m just so disappointed with the whole experience. I bought into the whole fantasy that dogs are great loyal companions, and he’s not. He’d rather be digging holes in the yard then keeping me company, and he’s only “loyal” because he wants food. He also smells awful. I just resent him so much and wish I hadn’t gotten him.

January 22, 2016 at 11:36 pm
- My cats are supreme but I thought since I bought a house I would get a dog or two. Not because I loved them but because I find small ones, namely chihuahuas fascinating. And not in a good way. Picked up one from craigs list that had an attitude worse than an A List actor. Purebred long coat. Hours away from being executed at a shelter. Total shit head dog. Barely call it a dog. He pissed on everything he could which made me lose my cool and beat the f out of him. Yeah, I know. Brutalizing the little bastard often makes it worse but I liked seeing the fear in his eyes when he would sneak off to piss on a wall and I would be right on him. Found beating these little therapeutic. Always the chihuahuas or a chi mix with another tiny breed. One was a tan male puppy chihuahua that had corgi mixed in. That nasty bastard howled and screeched like corgis do but the first owners didn’t realize he wasn’t pure chihuahua so they unloaded the turd. I made him into the amazing flying corg-chi: airborne nearly eight feet up and sometimes forgot to catch him on the way down. Splat. Watching him in the jetted bathtub was enjoyable too as he could not fully stand up in the swirling water and yelped like he was being set on fire. Awesome. My good dog is a small thing but she is a huge mix of breeds in a tiny package. She is the alarm system, squirrel detonator and kitty protector so I am partial to her.
Right now we have another long coat pure chi, tri colored and obviously from a designer dog breeder. Four pounds full grown. Pisses on anything she wants. Shits and pisses three minutes after having been in the yard taking a month long dump and unloading a barrel of urine. She sneaks towards the cat boxes to steal poo and has been punted 20 feet when caught in the act. Still does not learn. I will keep her a little longer but only until I can get a miniature version of her from a breeder. I now want a puppy to torment as it grows and learns. Excellent case study in development behavior.

My best guess is you are a special kind of troll.
-
January 24, 2016 at 12:19 pm
- It’s a sick mind that enjoys inflicting suffering on any creature. It is normal to feel anger at all the misery owning a dog entails, normal people may have violent thoughts as a result, they just don’t act it out. Normal people don’t get pleasure at tormenting an animal, they just want to remove it from their home. Once the animal is gone, the bad thoughts will disappear. In the case of squigley, he seeks out animals to impose his sadism on, his violent thoughts are not a reaction to the miseries of being near a dog, but pent up hostilities that he seeks to vent on another living thing. It’s not too hard to imagine this individual harming people.

- I know this is off subject, but…..
Yay! My best friend finally got rid of his mutts after way too many “accidents” in his house! I am so happy, but the only thing is he has been enamoured with one of my cats, and expressed wanting her. I turned him into a cat lover, and that is a good thing. The cat he wants is well behaved, silent, and very affectionate. I have 4 cats, and my other friends say I can give her up because I have so many, but I love her, too…. I know she will go to a good home, what should I do?????? -
March 24, 2016 at 1:57 pm
- Peaches , Point him to the nearest shelter.
All pets make messes. If his dogs were crapping mountains and peeing rivers in his home that was on him. He neglected his dogs and he’ll neglect your cat.
Your cats are adjusted to your home. I wouldn’t trust a former dogger any more than I would that the idiot with a pit bull in the shopping cart. -
March 24, 2016 at 2:20 pm
- Just say NO!
For the reason MFP said!
No!
Besides, your kitty would forever be tormented by the dog’s smell. Just think of all the excrement. And cats can smell much better than we can. Cats are usually clean. Don’t do it! -

- I feel ur pain. I am currently sitting in the livingroom at 1.37am listening to the doberman my husband got for me!(i wanted 1 but DID NOT choose this dog to rescue) whine & cry because she has decided that she doesn’t want to be in the kitchen at bedtime after 3 years. Its not the first time, & its not only at night. In the day she is a nightmare barking at anything that moves outside the window! But my husband just thinks its funny while I feel like I’m loosing my mind!!!

- I was recently filling out a USPS schedule a pickup request and noticed the addition of the question about whether you had dogs at the home. It seems to be gone now, though. So I wonder why.
-
- The dog is at my aunts since my parents are in Florida for holiday for a week. I am loving my freedom here at home in Canada. You may think you miss the dog for a while, but it is short lived once you remember the inconvenience they can be. They may be cute, but I don’t like the mess, the neediness, and the allergies. I feel better when the dog isn’t around because it makes my allergies worse. But, you know, these days people couldn’t give a damn about us. We are meanies because we don’t want dog germs on us. Also, I don’t like having itchy skin, itchy eyes and chest tightness. So, I am loving this dog free week!

June 16, 2016 at 4:13 am
- We’ve had this stupid smelly monster for several years now. It’s 13 and a half. It used to howel day and night, no matter what until about 2 weeks ago. We thought this thing was dying several times, but every time it bounced back happily howling and just costing more per month in meds. I made my lazy mother let me take it to a vet when it had a smelly prolapse which ended up being this polup or whatever which we found out goes back in on its own. We get to look foward to seeing that nasty thing again in the future! Yippy! Anyway we found out the dog has a heart murmur, epelepsy, breathing issues, big begnine tumors on her lower belly that aren’t spreading, and some degenerating spine thing. Well two weeks ago we noticed that it wasn’t barking, not moving and didn’t eat for almost a week, then yay one day it let out two weird barks that wasn’t its normal baying, breathy yet souded like an old man throwing up. Its been eating since but the money pit hasn’t barked since like a week ago at all. The dog is wobbly but eating and drinking. A lot of people are telling me vet her vet her, well it drained everything we had, money wise, and I’m sick of vets just wanting to run more tests! I wish I could find a vet who would just put it down. Quality of life for my family, cats and the wretched dog are all low. I may just let it die in her cage, because it seems every time the dog seems like its going to die, it gets better, but add on another health problem. Sadly, I can’t just get rid of it without crap going down. Sorry this is so long and mispelled, I needed to vent.
-
- The humane thing to do is have the dog put down. Go to another vet if needed. The ones who work with livestock as well as dogs & cats are more willing to do it, at least in my area. You’re on the verge of living a dog-free life, good luck!
-
June 17, 2016 at 8:19 pm
- Amen
-
- Thanks. We’ll find out today what will happen. Dog got worse, shaking at night, barely able to walk. Still eats, but other than that nothing but what I said before. Going to the vet shortly. Will update.
-
- Well, the little cockroach is still alive. This has been a yoyo with getting better worse better worse. By the time the vet’s opened, it was standing and ate breakfast, vet was all lol more time, but more meds perscribed. I told him I can’t afford it, so pretty much seemed like a jerk. Now it’s just laying there shaking after it gobbled up lunch, and I literally have 24 dollars to my name until I get paid next week, and almost maxed out my credit card on these vet visits. Fml.
-
-
- Sorry! Sounds like your vet is keeping the thing alive for the sole purpose of draining your bank account. I know what a burden it is to have a dog you hate.
Two years ago, when I got married, I inherited 2 dogs, a lab and rat terrier/Chihuahua mix (I referred to this thing as FrankenDog). Both of the things were indoor but were very well trained to go outside, as I told my husband under no circumstances would my house smell like dogshit. So they stayed inside overnight and went outside until they came in to go to sleep. He would constantly talk baby-talk to them. Also he would hold the door open for them each & every time he went in or out, for instance when he was using the grill and coming in several times for spices, plates, etc. I was completely amazed that this otherwise intelligent “man’s man” would act like these stupid things were human. He is perfect in every other way except for this. He would put them in their crate at night and say a prayer over them. He claimed they could understand what he was saying and that they had just as many emotions as we did. But the one thing that beat all was when he apologized to them for me yelling at them to shut up barking, and for having to stay outside in the summertime instead of laying on their lazy asses inside the house with the air conditioning. I told him that was horse shit & I said this nonsense was not going to fly with me, so he quit doing these things, at least in front of me. Once we went out of town for a few days and if you have these demons, you have to board them, essentially they are taking away your freedom to come & go when you want. Anyway, I have a dog nutter friend who volunteered to watch them while we were away, and even she said she had never seen 2 dogs that wanted to lay up under the AC more than these two. At the time We lived in a subdivision and if the door was cracked when I was trying to jump over them to get the groceries in, there they would bolt out. Apparently dog nutters think everyone else is a dog nutter, and that the neighbors wouldn’t mind if the demons ran through their property and gardens. That is, until one day when one of the neighbors had the police to come to our house and tell him animal control was going to take them away if they were not kept from running off leash through the neighborhood. He was furious that someone would file a complaint! I told him repeatedly not all people think the stupid dogs are the best thing ever. Now we live in the country and they have 10 acres fenced to run & play but no no no. Frankendog was needy, stared at me through the window all the time, dug holes in flower beds and around the pool & house. I hated that dog. The lab, on the other hand, is the only dog I’ve ever seen that is scared of the dark, and just randomly barks & barks for no reason. Of course the husband doesn’t seem to hear the barking until I bring it to his attention. These dogs are of absolutely no use…they bark & bark when the wind blows but when someone pulls up to the house you could hear a pin drop, no barking at all. My neighbors within earshot now know the “F” word because I use it when I yell at them to shut the F up! In the past I’ve had no opinion about dogs…didn’t hate them, didn’t love them. Never, ever had one indoors. Because of these 2 worthless, and I mean worthless pieces of shit … I HATE DOGS. Then the husband decides to get a Great Pyrenees to guard the chickens & goats. This dog actually did her job & I had no complaints. She was strictly an outdoor dog. Meanwhile the other 2 are digging holes, barking incessantly, and destroying the backyard. And the licking and staring from Frankendog makes me bonkers. They were too needy to just run & play in all the land they had. I began to despise these two more & more everyday. If the gate was accidentally left open they would run away & be gone several hours. I prayed they wouldn’t come back. About 6 months ago they escaped. A storm came up. They are both afraid of any loud noise, so when the rain & thunder started the lab came home but not Frankendog. Haven’t seen her since. My life was exponentially better every day. However, it made the lab even more needy and I didn’t even think that was possible. So, fast forward to a month ago, the Pyrenees was trying to herd up the stupid lab after it escaped again and was hit by a car. Had to put her down. So now I’m left with this dumbass lab, which I hate more than ever. I really & truly wish this thing would disappear as well. It’s so depressed according to the husband but I think it’s a jinxed dog, because the other 2 are gone yet this thing has defied nature or something and is still here tormenting me with the damn barking & whining when the wind blows or when it gets dark. I have banished it to the back yard and I’m hoping a coyote or bear will get it.
And while I’m at it, we were in a local feed store recently. A lady had a Yorkie poo (another Frankendog) snuggled up close to her neck & chest. I could barely see that it had a service dog vest on, because she was holding it so close but yet like a battering ram. Just for giggles I said “ohhh, what a cute little doggy”. Her sour puss face just lit up then she said “she’s a service dog & is just wonderful”. I asked how old she was. She proudly exclaimed she was a New Year’s Day puppy. I said “I thought it took a year to fully train a service dog” to which she whispered “well, actually she’s a comfort dog”. Ughhh. I just looked disgusted & walked away.
Also, I’m sick to death of going in a pet store, any pet store, because at least 75%-80% of it is devoted to dog worshipping/worshippers.
We recently attended a barbeque where there were 6 couples, most of them were nutters and get this, they brought 13 dogs of various breeds, all of which were at the grill at some point & when we were eating most of them were around the table begging for food or just being generally obnoxious by breathing, especially the drooling bulldogs. Hate ’em. I didn’t eat hardly anything. I figure when the different people were making their own dish, FiFi was not far away. Just gross! Then I was accused of being a “dog hater” just because I wouldn’t let a fat, stinking mix breed, that they called a “designer dog, sit in my lap.
I know all these same things have been covered by others throughout whyihatedogs.com. I apologize for telling this long story. These things have been building and I’ve just had it with the dog cultist. I am so thankful for this community of like minded people who are sick of the cult of dog worshipping.
Happy Sunday to all! -

- Or contact your nearest animal shelter, they most likely will take the mutt off your hands. In England they came to my home within an hour to pick up the thing. I told them i couldn’t cope. I Signed over ownership and was finally free. I wish you luck!
-
-
- LOL. I enjoy eating a good meal in front of my husbands dog (pit bull). She just sits there and stares, hoping I will suddenly decide to start giving her my food. Please.
-
- Guess what! I’m finally free! After years of torment she was finally put to sleep earlier today. Happy day!

- ‘beagleslave you’re free! I felt the same way after my ex husband’s dog was finally put down. Enjoy your freedom.
-
- Everlastingbeagleslave that’s great! Your finally free from slavery. ?
-
- Everlastingbeagleslave that’s great! Freedom at last. ?
-
-
- Congrats! Now just don’t let anyone in the house visit any “shelters” in the foreseeable future!
-
- Lol @ the meat clothesline!
-
- I agree Noccalula. And you never know someone on this forum might miss having a dog, visit the shelter and then end up with one of our rejects!
-
- Right. I believe words like “shelter” & “rescue” were adopted by nutters to prey upon the sympathy of those looking for a pet. My dog worshipping friends always seem to proudly end up with a dog that was “abused”, especially the pits. Who in their right mind would “rescue” an abused pit? Anyway, I hope everlastingbeagleslave doesn’t fall for this and just enjoys the freedom, after decontamination of course!
-
- First of all, don’t right me. People adopt nasty abused dogs all the time regardles if they are pit balls or not and no one can deny that unless there head has been under a rock and not in there right mind. Just like your friends, i was unlucky too and allways ended up with abused sickly dogs. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds wasted on these beasts, so please don’t lecture me. I absolutely hate dogs. You need to go back and read my previous messages.
-
- No worries, never again will any dog step foot in my house. And I gave everyone a warning that if they bring a dog over here they will end up with it. First full day of freedom was spent cleaning. It’s wonderful to have my home back. And it’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
-
-
- Exbeagleslave, i’m soo pleased for you. I remember that wonderful feeling when I got rid of my stupid needy dog and it was the last. I will never ever let any dogs in to my home. My son is now able to play on the floor without his toys being chewed up. No more poo and urine to clean up. Exspensive vet fees. A lot of people are brainwashed in to be living that it must be the type of breed why there dog is the way they are and then go buy another, the cycle then repeats it self. I’m glad you will never make that mistake. Enjoy your freedom and clean home. ?
-
- I wasn’t lecturing you. I was in agreement. Have a great day
-
- Sorry if i misunderstood. Enjoy your day!

- My dad started his yellow lab on a raw meat diet. Don’t know if it is the summer heat, but I notice he is calmer. He used to get on my nerves all the time. I don’t mind him as much now, he is lovable and cute. However, I think I am still slightly allergic to the dander. I think the kibble we feed them makes them crazy and unhealthy. I still think it is gross seeing the dog eat raw chicken and meat, but he eats it outside obviously for health reasons. His poop is so weird, it looks like chalk and he doesn’t poop nearly as much. I think the kibble makes them poop more frequent, which isn’t good. My dad goes to a deli to get meat scraps and raw bones to feed him. I personally feel dogs belong on farms, not in cities and where they can cause havoc. I love the dog, he is cute and lovable. I still feel however, they shouldn’t be pets in general. They are working animals, they are miserable in this new age. Not to mention it isn’t sanitary having dog hair everywhere. Dogs need to be in order so they can thrive. They are aggressive, miserable and anxious because we lock them in cages all day, confine them to a backyard and feed them crap. They need other dogs, they are social animals. I still hate cleaning so much because of the hair so my allergies don’t bother me.
-
- The pet industry doesn’t care about the animals, just the money. They suffer because of this, and we suffer as well because of it. Dogs are working animals. Not luxury items, sad to see they are treated as such. It is also sad that child safety is at risk because most homes consist of a dog. A child shouldn’t have to tip toe to avoid being bitten. It is messed up indeed.
-
- I remember when I was brain washed in to adopting a Yorkshire terrier, a so-called hypoallergenic breed, yeah right! What a load of crap. I suffer with asthma and also allergic to danda. The terrier caused me terrible allergy, that was another reason why I gave up rat dog.
-
- I now live with my in laws, as well as 2 pit bulls, my husband and my 5 month old son. I cannot for the life of me figure out how people willingly choose to bring home these barking, whiny, needy, stalking dogs. My son does not hang out with his grandma if her dog is not put up. He has already jumped up and barked in his face and that was enough for me. Unfortunately we won’t be able to let our son stay home and go on dates until we feel comfortable with this. I am not seeing that happening any time soon. That dog just wants my MIL around all the time. And wants to protect her. When she is here he barks his head off if anyone else comes in the house. She yells at him “baaa! No bark!” Constantly.
Also the air conditioning has broken in this house for the 3rd time since they bought it 10 years ago. Why? Because dogs peeing on them! Living with nutters is awful. And unfortunately my husband is one too, He sees children and pets as the same thing. When I questioned about the air conditioning and that it is an expensive repair (and 3 times?! ) he compared it to having a child that has things that they need, like doctor bills, etc, I told him please stop comparing children to animals. It’s ridiculous. If I had known that about him, I may not have married him. -

- I just love the dejected look on a mutt’s ugly face when I eat a full meal in front of it and don’t give it nothing then throw the scraps I’m the garbage and rinse the plate. The meat clothesline is genius and hilarious.

- Noccalula – I don’t know how long ago you wrote this post but I was crying with laughter at the end.
It helped me so much. I have such a shit dog. He stinks. He does nothing except demand and take. He gets in the way …. urrrggghhh. He is a rescue and I know he had a tough life but even so … I got him aged 9, he been dumped twice back at rescue and now I am just thinking so how much longer???? 3 years max?
I hate his lazy dumbass, he does the bark at nothing yet ignore a stranger right at the door. He doesn’t recall. He doesn’t play fetch. He just stinks and barks. Stinks the house out and eats and walks. Emotional black hole – as dead as a dodo. Just wants food and walks and makes a helluva racket if he doesn’t get what he wants exactly when he wants it. Roll on those 3 years! -
- Dogschmog
Nothing’s changed. Just today I had to make the one hour round trip to pick the thing up from boarding, since we went out of town for a few days. All the way home I said “I hate you, please die”.
By the way, I’ve renamed her Black Widow. The hubbs thinks I’m mean but hey…
While we gone we visited some friends we hadn’t seen in a while. They acquired some sort of Australian dog and of course it’s an indoor dog. However, it did not stink & is being kept groomed. I played with it. The hubbs got jealous & asked why I didn’t treat Black Widow like that. I gave him the stink eye. End of story. Lololol -
- This is THE best site!!!!
I have spent hours reading the comments and laughed so hard, I was crying. Trench humour like WW2 …I am in such a similar situation, it was the best therapy to read/hear/empathise with others going through this.
I am held to ransom by my dog. There is no/zero/nada/nichevo/rien de joy in this hostage situation. It is like being in an abusive marriage!
It’s flippin awful and I should just get rid of the dog. In fact, I don’t understand why I don’t. Some kinda weird guilt/stockholm syndrome – I don’t know. I hate it. It is expensive and a drain on my free time and demanding and untrained and useless and stinks and pointless … also big and potentially dangerous. It doesn’t listen or come to call or give any affection. It is cr@p. Utter crap.
I used to like dogs – this one is enough to put ANYONE off dogs for life. For life.
Anyway thanks for the site. A real life-saver. Well done to all those who managed to get rid of theirs! -

- I’m a 15 year old still in high school living with my parents counting the days until I can pack my things and leave, I’m very much a cat lover but wouldn’t put past the idea of owning a dog (to see what it’s like) until I have the misfortune of living with a Gerbarian Shepsky and a Siberian husky. The more and more I live with the dogs the more I began to loathe them. All they ever do is aggressively wrestle (around me and only me which I absolute hate) and bite and lick me which I find disgusting. Whenever they see someone outside (often) they bark none stop to no end. And they are continually knocking into things and braking things from their reckless playing. It also seems Larry doesn’t listen to commands anymore unless he can tell you are really angry (which I think is a result of being around Gracie who listens to nothing unless you use force or food). I seem to be the only one bothered by it, whenever my parent come home they are always so sweet to them and treat them like angels (which I hate pampering them for just being bothersome when they didn’t have to suffer through what I did). I tell them all of the time “we don’t need a second dog” because I can’t handle the both of them anymore, we have no room in the house and she’s only caused problems (at least for me) since we got her, but they refuse to listen to what I have to say and tell me “it’s only because they’re dogs”. They let the dogs jump and play on the furniture (hair everywhere) chewing on the legs of the dining chairs, Gracie terrorizing our bird, constant begging for attention or food (no personal space when I’m downstairs) and I’m suppose to cater to the dumb dogs morning and evening when everyone else is gone. Letting them out to go to the bathroom and eat because they can’t be trusted outside of their cages alone. Constant texts “have you let the dogs out?” “What are the dogs doing?” “How are the dogs?” I’m so sick and fed up with it. I make it so apparent that I have a great newfound hatred for these dogs to my family but they refuse to at the least acknowledge it and get mad at me when I’m frustrated with the dogs. I recently had a breakdown from it getting so angry with my family that they never did anything to change their behavior or make it more bearable for me at the least, I can’t stand being around anyone in the house anymore because of how bad of a mood the dogs put me in and I feel like I can’t even sit down stairs without being over ran by spastic dogs. Not to mention I recently found out I’m allergic to dog saliva (I break out into humongous hives and because red, blotchy and extremely itchy) I feel like I’m trapped in a nightmare! I just needed to vent somewhere about this seeing as it isn’t going to end anytime soon.

- I feel your pain Brianna. I had an asthma like attack this morning. My throat felt swollen and I struggled to breathe. I am on the Autism spectrum, so I get tired way easier. I am 24, working on getting my license so I can drive. I live in a rural area, so I am screwed in terms of transportation. I am forced to interact with a dog, which I am allergic to. I am pretty sure I am, since I cough up a lung in the presence of the animal. My skin gets itchy too and my eyes. I totally feel your pain. I can’t interact with the dog without feeling sickly after. I live in Canada, but our health care system sucks too. I have to wait a year for an allergy test, this coming January. I am going to have to see one sooner since I am having asthma like symptoms. I need a puffer when I have an allergy episode. I totally empathize with you. The stress and allergies make you feel run down and sick all the time.
The dog is cute,……but to me, it isn’t worth the pain and symptoms. I much rather be pet free. My idea of a pet is one of those furreal pet dragons, lol. He is better therapy to me than a dog, since I don’t have an asthma attack from a toy.
I hope things get better for you Brianna. Vent here all you need! -

My boyfriend constantly brings dogs into the house. I have made him get rid of 2 previous ones and now we have two more. They smell awful all of the time. Not matter how many baths! If they go outside they come in 10 minutes later and stink! All of the blankets in my house stink because of them! No matter how many washes I’m going to have to burn those blankets. Not to mention the damage the little one has done to my perfect carpet. Their shedding is unbearable. I vacuum twice a day and I have to clear the vacuum multiple times while cleaning the same room because their is so much fur. The bad yard is a crap put and I’m allergic to them. They per and it makes the fur on their stomachs wet (gag) and they constantly have eye goop. (Gag again). Neither one is neutered or UTD on shots. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught these gross loud dogs licking their crotch and butts and frankly I’m tired of my house smelling like this. I grew up in a clean dog free home and I have sworn to my boyfriend if he does not her these dogs out I will take the kids and move out. I know that sounds dramatic but I can’t take it anymore. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve considered leaving the dog hate open and letting them escape. Every time I tell him to get rid of these animals he becomes practically hysterical! -

- Hmm my fiancée has the same breed of dog. And it stinks more than any dog I have smelt. Maybe like his dog yours has a skin condition like a yeast infection or something. And those dogs are hyper till the day they die. It won’t calm down unless you spay or neuter it that will help some.

- Cats are f****** stupid and your stupid for having four of them and even stupider if your considering giving one to your friend who just got rid of his dog. He will get rid of your shitty cat too.there is no comparison between the two dogs when trained which takes a few weeks of there life’s are affectionate intelligent funny playful and amazing companions cats in the other hand suck! There vicious one of the dumbest animals on the planet this is proven…. They do not care for afection and when they do it is because iT suits them, they use you for food then bugger off until there hungry again. Cats want to be pleased dogs want to please. Its not a hard choice. Id choose a pibull in a shopping cart all day over a caniving little f*** wit cat. So would most people apart from crazy old cat ladys

Glad I found this site. I hate my dogs. I have 2 small pekes but that annoy me to death. People always say they are so well behaved and nice and how lucky I am to have them. (It’s not luck, it’s hard work getting them to behave around strangers). My favourite is when people ask why my house never smells like dog. Because I clean it all the time like I have OCD just to make sure it never smells. Another thing that really annoys me, is that people like dogs more than humans. I hate dogs and I hate dog charities even more.
I have never harmed my dogs because I wouldn’t hurt them maliciously but I fantasize about it. I dream of coming home and finding that they ate coffee or something. It wasn’t always like this. My husband and I got the first peke and he was awesome at first but house training him turned into a nightmare. All he did was pee everywhere. When he was finally sorted everything was fine for a while. We had a brain fart that he needed a friend and got him a sister. I hated her from the moment I met her. She is bossy, a bullly and barks at every little thing. That stupid dog is the reason I hate dogs. I am at home all day and all she does is bark. I hate it when people tell me how adorable she is, when I dream about kicking her in the face. I lock them outside all day because they are always doing something disgusting. I am not an animal hater. I have two cats that I love to bits. They are not attention sluts like my dogs. They never do disgusting things. You never find them eating poop.
My mother-in-law talked me into getting them. She is a dog breeder and I hate her. -

- Why are you people so hateful? Dogs and all animals deserve respect. This is the same thing as going around saying you hate all people. If you don’t like dogs then don’t get one. It’s that simple. Idiots.
-
- Lisa,
If you LIKE dogs, don’t visit this site. It’s just that simple. -
- Lisa, I’m pretty sure if it was as simple as not getting a dog, there would barely be anyone on this site. And no, dogs and people are not the same thing.

- If I ever ever leave my dog in the house without crating him, he shits and pees on something that can’t be washed. I want to get rid of him but I can’t. If I am,in the house he follows me everywhere I go. If I escape the house he cries and whines and digs ruts into the front door frame. I hate being a shit and piss servant to a neurotic little bitch. I do my best and we get along for 3 or 4 days in a row and then he does some other shit and I have to get hold of myself. Sometimes I yell and scream but he still follows me everywhere I go 24 hours a day. I have to clap in his face to get him to stop following me. Yes, every other human on earth loves dogs. Yes, I’m a monster. But I am so ##### sick of him.
-
-
- What about us people who are FORCED AGAINST OUR WILL to live amongst a dog? I still live my parents. However, me and my mother are forced to clean up after the damn mutt. Dogs and cats are gross…….they make your house dirty, spread gross diseases, and steal your freedom.
If people spent the same effort in helping each other as they do with their dander filled beasts……man, it would be great! -

- I feel your pain. My boyfriend has a dog that sheds everywhere it’s annoying needy, smells. I hate it’s constant presence we can’t have any alone time in peace the dof is constantly in his face, I’m generally a calm tolerate mild tempered person but this dog puts me in such a bad mood. Stares at you while you eat, stalks my boyfriend he allows it in the kitchen. I’m so sick of it, I can’t wear black to his place and when I leave I always feel dog hair stduck in my throat.. He wants us to move in together… Hell no….I can’t say anything bad about this dog it runs his life he even takes it to work …
So annoying, it just feels like I’m cheated out of special moments with him because of this thing sometimes I hate it but then I feel bad for feeling this way. -
- Thank you so much for this comment. I almost want to copy and save it to remind me that not all men have dogs and place the animals needs over their partners sanity. I love a clean sparkling modern home and my boyfriend is obsessed with his dog, his house is filthy I’m miserable when I visit, worst when I help him clean up and it lasts for 2minutes. Thanks for reminding us some men appreciate a clean woman and puts her needs before that of some filthy animal. My boyfriend is pressuring me to move in… Haha I think not. I don’t want to risk my sanity. That kind of unhealthy situation can scar you and change who you are. Thank you for this comment

- I so envy you! I cannot wait for this destructive dog to be gone! He has chewed holes in everything we own. I can’t decorate the way I used to, he ruins everything he can reach. I am ready to say it”s me or the dog, but he’d probably choose the dog! Tonight I actually researched what plants or prescriptions are poisonous to dogs. He’s not even two yet, and I can’t take another 10 years with him!

January 5, 2017 at 2:46 pm
- You guys are all quite brutal about your opinions, aren’t you?
…I love you all. -
- So, here’s my thoughts on the matter…
Dogs are worthless. I LOATHE them. I consider them nothing more than a loud, whiny, clingy little nuisance. They’ll bark relentlessly and ignore you when you tell them to stop. They’ll sit there while you’re trying to enjoy your meal and whine for food like the little bitches they are. They’ll run around and roughhouse with one another, tearing up your possessions and damaging furniture in the process. They’ll crap all over your house and then you’re stuck cleaning it up. They’re just annoying, pure and simple. WAY too high-maintenance and WAY too excitable for an easily frustrated, quick to anger guy like me to deal with them.
So, of course I’m in a family of dog lovers.
My entire family ADORES dogs. We have two of them, and I utterly despise both of them. Now don’t get me wrong, I would NEVER wish harm upon them, I’m not a monster, but I do try to make as little contact with them as possible and I do my best to ignore them for the most part. They’re all the hell over me, and they’re always getting in my way when I’m trying to deal with chores and whatnot, but I’m able to brush them off mostly.
I may be more obligated to give them a chance if my family would stop getting all uppity about my dislike for them. I’m annoyed with them constantly whining for food while we’re eating and I tell them to stop? They IMMEDIATELY act like I’M the bad guy because I don’t like listening to their mangy pug-terrier mutt’s high-pitched, irritating squeaking while I’m trying to eat, every five freaking seconds. Hell, my mom literally told me she was concerned I was gonna be a serial killer or psychopath because of my ‘lack of empathy.’ It’s not my fault he’s so ball-gratingly annoying, and the fact that you immediately jump to his defense when I express any form of displeasure at his actions is NOT making me like him any more! Apparently I’m more annoying, when the problem is VERY easily resolved by just removing the flea-bitten mutt from the god forsaken room! And when I try to remove the problem by putting the dogs outside as punishment for being infuriating to deal with? I immediately get scolded, told I’m ‘horrible’ and ‘rude’ and ‘mean’. If they’d learn to keep their furry faces shut, it wouldn’t even be an issue!
I’ve made it VERY clear to my family that I’m a cat-lover. I think cats are cuter, fluffier, quieter, far more manageable, MUCH less reliant on us, they have far more personality, and did I mention that they are freaking ADORABLE? ‘Cause…Y’know…Cats are freaking adorable. How does this go over?
First of all, despite getting offended whenever I make a mean-spirited comment about the family dogs, they certainly won’t hesitate to badmouth our cat at any given opportunity. I love my cat. She’s a little bit of a bitch, but it just makes her even cuter. She’s like a cute, fluffy version of a snobby rich girl, and I love it. I don’t get on their case about it when they insult my preferred pet. But when I say something bad about our mutts? They all gang right the hell up on me like they just can’t FATHOM the fact that I [GASP] don’t enjoy their stupid smelly slobbering beasts jumping all over me every time I walk into the room, barking their fool heads off every time I come upstairs, crying like little bitches when I don’t give them my dinner, and just all around being FAR more trouble than they’re worth.
When I told my family I loved cats and hated dogs, my mom made the argument that her precious widdle pug-terrier is ‘like a cat’ because he’s ‘small and cuddly’. Yeah, I can buy that…He IS like a cat. If you removed everything I love about cats and added everything I hate about dogs amped up to eleven.
She’s told me I shouldn’t hate him because ‘he should be so cute it should cancel out all the annoying things he does’. That’s not how it works, mom! I don’t care how cute he is. The point is, he annoys me. Being cute can only get you so far in my eyes, and since that braindead doofus of a dog won’t cease finding new ways to piss me off, y’know what? It’s his annoyingness that cancels out his cuteness, not the other way around.
They always take EVERY opportunity to egg me on about it, baby talking them and going on about how great they are right in front of me, for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of me.
My mom has told me that our pug terrier is ‘Her baby’, and that ‘it makes me sad that you hate him’. Why does it matter what I have to say about your little squeaky toy?
She’s also made the claim that ‘he’s my brother.’ …No. Remember that other male homo sapien you gave birth to? THAT is my brother. Not that little rodent you brought home randomly one day.
I have asked her to respect the fact that I don’t like the dogs. She says ‘No! That’s like if Shawn asked me to respect him not liking you!’ …There is a MASSIVE difference between hating your own flesh and blood sibling that’s gonna be with you most of your life, and hating a dog that’s gonna be dead by the time I’m thirty.
But when someone’s dog just comes barreling over to me, barking and clearly looking like it wants to jump on me? It scares the living CRAP out of me. And sadly, that’s the kind of common occurrence you get with certain dog lovers. -
January 17, 2017 at 12:31 pm
- I have come to realize that I struggle with whom I hate more, Dogs or their owners? Which is objectively worse? I’ll explain my situation and then examine it- It’s going to be pretty hard to follow forum rules and eschew profanity.
I live with an old friend in a house. Right before I moved in he found a dog on the street and decided to bring it home. While his first, and in my opinion most correct, plan was to rehab the dog and give it to a shelter, he is a first time owner and the ever present and ever-pathetic human dog emotional codependency kicked in. Like most of his commitments he wavered almost immediately. The animal has now been living with us for 9 months.
Where do I begin with this waste of oxygen? I guess I will start off with my conclusion: That this dog should be put to sleep for several reasons. That it’s the only animal I can think of that, if given the choice, might actually WANT to be put to sleep.
The thing cannot be left alone for any amount of time. When my roommate leaves the dog immediately urinates, defecates, and/or pukes all over the house because it has serious emotional issues and cannot be alone, EVER. Sounds really functional right? Own a dog, all you have to do is never leave your house again.
It never plays, is never happy, never wags its tail, and literally has to be coerced to eat. It takes a double dose of prozac (like the dog needs an %$^*#%$ing therapist) This animal sits in a dejected state all day and barely possesses the will to live EXCEPT:
-When I walk in the door, still after 9 months, he acts aggressively and barks at me like I’m a stranger.
– When it freaks out because my roommate temporarily detaches the UMBILICAL cord shared between them all day, every day to go out somewhere. The floorboards are WARPED from all the plss.
-When it bites me and other people in the face, savagely, for no apparent reason.
-When it develops never before seen and herculean strength to break out of every single cage that was ever purchased to hold it and its feces; the current number is 5.
Did you catch the dog biting me in the face part? It’s done it twice. It wasn’t playing, it was attacking. My crime was sitting with it on the couch. My roommate’s response? “Well what did you do to him?”
Not, ‘are you okay’ or, ‘I’m sorry my pathetic trash animal bit your head’. Because he’s not sorry. In his warped, twisted mind what the dog did must have been justified in some way. After I yelled at the dog and resisted every urge in my body to snap it’s neck, he actually petted it and said “there there, good boy”. He actually is so sick with his need to comfort this waste of life that he positively reinforces it when it bites someone in the head. Not only does he NOT discipline the special little precious baby (it’s 45lbs) he actually encourages the behavior because his head lives up inside of his own rectum, and only occasionally ventures out into the world.
I told him if it ever happens again he’s getting sued and I’ll have the dog put to sleep myself.
My roommate KNOWS that the dog defiles the house and panics because it has separation anxiety problems, and his solution is…. to be in direct physical contact with the animal, all day, every day, like some sort of sad lazy parasitic symbiote. That should help, right? That’s a totally logical training solution, right? Why would the dog ever learn to be OK by itself if you literally never ever let it be by itself?!
Dogs smell, they’re filthy and disgusting, they eat their own waste and the waste of others. They’re needy, codependent monsters who belong outside.
But the only things more loathsome are the simpering idiots that own them and make them this way. These people are so selfish and impulsive that they have chosen to make another organism exclusively dependant on them, just for their own comfort and amusement. They prioritize an animal over actual human beings (in my case a human being that pays to live there) in every circumstance, and they burden other people with the care of their animal or consideration of it without even blinking an eye.
The answer is clear- dogs suck but dog owners are worse- sad pathetic people who often make their own bad decisions everyone else’s responsibility. They are the ones who need correction, chemically or otherwise. -

- I don’t have to live with a dog, but my business partner has a crapbag who is out of control..This idiot dog will bite anyone who does not” play ball” with him..She brought this beast into our business one day while we were prepping for grand opening..I was on a ladder, painting a ceiling. She comes in with this ugly beast when she knows I hate dogs and AFTER we agreed her dog would never set foot in our business ( a grocery store)..The dog starts flipping out, bark, bark, bark( I even get pissed off seeing the word bark in print, that is how much I hate dogs..)..She says to me ” come down off the ladder and play ball with him for a minute or he won’t stop barking”. I told her I would, like hell, stop what I am doing to coddle this idiot animal..She looked at me like i was some kind of subhuman..She left, but later on, I found out she let one of her friends in the store when I wasn’t there and the dog peed in the store..In a GROCERY store..I was horrified and she wasn’t even the least bit bothered by it. Nor was the woman who owned the dog..This moron allowed her dog to lick her childs rear end after she defecated, a 4 year old girl..The girl would get off the toilet, bend over and the dog would be right there to clean her off..I almost vomited when I learned this and still haven’t emotionally recovered from this knowledge. Yet still, people wonder why we hate dogs, as well as their idiot slave owners..I’m so grateful for a place like this where i can say what i really feel about dogs..Thank you

- Such a wonderful topic!
Here’s my story about the dogs in my life.
1) When I was younger, my brother and I wanted a dog. We never even thought about having it in the house. We never got one because my mother knew better and didn’t want to have to deal with it. Good thinking, Mom!
2) When I met my wife she had a female dog. I thought nothing of, thinking that I would be okay with it. I was wrong, so wrong. That dog would go on to chew up my clothes and piss all over the place. I guess it was jealous of me being with my soon to be wife. We ended up moving to another place and unfortunately, my wife wanted the dog to go with us. It is such a hassle traveling with a freaking dog. We met some friends and they had a big black dog that would constantly lick you. I CANNOT stand that. We all know that a dog’s mouth is not clean. I would go home and clean up every time we went to their house. And the dog would constantly lick my shoes, I guess because it would smell our Beast on them. So I decided to put rubbing alcohol all over my shoes and guess what, he didn’t lick my shoes anymore. When we moved from there, we couldn’t bring our dog with us and had to get rid of her. I was so happy. It was so relaxing knowing that we could travel and move about without worrying about getting a travel kennel and paying extra money for an animal. We wouldn’t get another dog until about 8-9 years ago.
3) So my wife wanted to get another dog and got a shih-zhu. I call it the other s-word. I told my wife and kids that they had better get that Beast potty trained because I didn’t want to come home to a house smelling like dog piss. “Oh we will” they say. You know how this turned out. When we finally moved from that house, it smelled of dog piss no matter how many times we had the carpets professionally cleaned. My wife is such a dog lover that she is always putting that Beast on our beds and furniture. That was a huge mistake. Now that nasty Beast thinks it is a part of this family and jumps up on the sofa all the time. He’s marked on and continues to piss on every piece of furniture in our house. I’ve tried putting pee-pads on the floor where the idiot pisses at but he will pee on the corner of the pads, defeating the purpose of the pads. I hate coming home and instantly smelling that that Beast has pissed somewhere. My wife and kids are nose blind to the smell. I have no patience for that freakin’ dog, NONE! We’ve been looking at new homes and every time, I tell my wife that I don’t even want to bother with moving again because that stupid dog will realize it’s in a new place and start peeing on everything where our current furniture will be. Recently, this idiot dog has been pissing on our bedroom closet door. Sometimes, the door to our bedroom will open up due to changing pressure in the house. If we’re not watching his stupid @$$, he will slink off our bedroom and proceed to piss on the door. Same goes for our kids room as well. I angrily tell my wife and kids that this stupid d@mn dog treats this house as his own personal backyard. She is always putting that Beast on our bed at bedtime. Before I go to sleep, I pick his stanky butt up and put him in his kennel. Can’t stand having that Beast in the same bed as me. Every now and then, my wife will want to try and get him classified as a “comfort” dog. Whatever. That is the biggest load of cr@p I have ever heard. You didn’t see this stuff 10 years ago. I shake my head when I see those comfort dogs in grocery stores or other stores you normally don’t see animals in. Seeing-eye dogs, I understand but not these comfort dogs. Sometimes, my wife will lose patience with the Beast and yell at him or get frustrated after cleaning up after him. The first words out of my mouth are “Why don’t you get rid of him then you won’t have to worry about that anymore?”.
I’m soooo glad that I found this site. I don’t know why it took me so long to find it. Glad to know that there are others out there that do not like these four-legged nuisances that seem to think that our only purpose in life is to serve them. -

- I grew up with cats and I thought I loved all animals. My husbands allergic to cats so we got a dog instead.
I thought it’ll be as good as a cat. But I f***ing hate this dog.
He’s selfish and annoying, doesn’t control himself over hyper and down right mean.
I miss cats. -
- My dad has ptsd as well and says dogs are f***ing disgusting and annoying. But he loves cats because they cuddle with you but take care of themselves. You only need to clean the litter box and put food in their bowl.
I thought I loved animals, everytime I see a bird or even rat I find it cute.
I f***ing hate dogs. They whine when they don’t get what they want, they bite and are mean when you say no. They’re selfish and follow you around and cry when you close the door.
Annoying dirty f***ing selfish animal. Hate them. And I’m stuck with a f***ing puppy because my husbands allergic to cats -

- WOW–I agree with all of you!! I thought I was the ONLY one that thinks dogs are a huge waste of time, energy and $$. Nothing good comes of them. Nothing.
Love reading all these stories–I totally relate and so much of what happened to you has happened to me. I feel you all! -

- Oh how I loved your post! I laughed and felt relief. I hate the 2 idiot dogs at my house too! I wish they’d run and not come back! Can’t stand them! Loved your post.

- I used to have a stupid, smelly, noisy and tiring dog who would eat the rubbish bins and do many other disgusting stuff. The stupid dog would always bark at me TOP VOLUME whenever I disciplined it by saying “No” in a firm voice. Also, whenever we went to the pub we would have to take the stupid dog because we couldn’t trust it alone. Then what does that stupid thing do, it growls and bites the lead all the way through the walking journey and I couldn’t even take it anymore. I dreaded coming home each day and I purposely ate chicken with my friends to stay up late to get away from the stupid and loud licking dog. It stepped on it’s crap and tracked it across the whole house. NOW MY HOUSE SMELT LIKE CRAP AT THE TIME!
The beast would run around and make stupid noises and it would run around the whole house like 3739474737373 times. The stupid monster would distract me during my homework. It would go absolutely CRAZY when the doorbell rang. It would shit and piss all over the whole house and it would be barking and whining all night whenever I went to sleep as I would OBVIOUSLY shut the door so the shit couldn’t get in. It was shitting mountains and pissing seas. It had an area for it to piss and shit on but it AVOIDED that space and literally shit and pissed all over the carpet and the sofa-bed was all ripped and it would eat from the bins. Dogs? NEVER AGAIN! I have a cat now and she is lovely unlike the BEAST I got over a year ago.
