AIBU to think my colleague is lying about having two dogs?

Sam155320 · 2026-04-17T20:34:04+00:00

I work with a work colleague on a one to one basis however I think she’s lied to me about having 2 dogs (she does have 1) as well as to various other work colleagues.

Never mind HR, I think OP should seek beagle advice, at least the free 30 minutes...

Why would she lie? I have two but one never comes over on Teams calls, and doesn’t do anything worth mentioning really, unlike the puppy who chewed my laptop charger for example.

Leave the basset!

OP - she is lying to you. She told me she was going to tell you she had two dogs, but she's only got one. She was laughing when she said it and said you'd believe her.

....the ironic thing is that her dog has a split personality!

Neveranynamesleft · 19/04/2026 21:52

OP is really in the doghouse if work colleague has been vetting this thread...

ConstantlyFuriosa · 19/04/2026 21:01

Damn. If this thread was about cats I’d say something waggish like this is a tail of two kitties. But it’s not, so I won’t.

Maybe she is SEN (Spaniel Educational Needs).

Jokes are suppose to be funny….

The responses from those who saw the amusement in the OP are unfailingly funny, apart from the few posts from people who either took the OP at her word with regard to the number of dogs, or from those who (rather like you) lack the ability to see humour anyway.

Have you logged it with 101?

Whatexcellentboiledpotatoes · 19/04/2026 13:34

One of them is actually a cat but she's dressing it up as a dog just to give it an identity crisis. She needs a hobby.

I care. This type of behaviour needs calling out. By not caring, you are enabling these people to continue lying about how many dogs they have. Is that the sort of world you want your children growing up in?

Exactly.

Its why the country has gone to literal (dog) shit.

People lying about pet ownership and other people not giving a toss

We should all be vigilant and be an ally to those who feel there should be honesty about dog numbers in the household.

There must be
some missing background here or this makes no sense. Why is this important or even worth posting about? Who cares how many dogs she has?

Almost everyone on this thread cares.

Well, apart from the people who don't realise that it's a joke thread. Like you.

It's actually of vital importance to the whole world, if you did but know it.

Vital stuff.

Right, I'm off to roast some vegetables.

Tryanalogue · 19/04/2026 12:22

Two dogs is her truth…

intrepidpanda · 19/04/2026 10:26

Why would you lie about that
It hardly makes you look good

Willyoujust · 19/04/2026 10:24

Based on the info given, I think you're right. She's definitely lying.

😂😂😂😂

Maybe she suffers from dyscalculia. You should be more supportive.

And we're not told what line of work this work colleague works in. She might even be a vicar, demanding honesty and virtue from her flock, but then lying through her teeth about her number of dogs.

She swore blind from the pulpit
That she had a baby bullpit,
And a pretty labradoodle, making two;

But her only real life duggy
Was a puggy, name of Dougie,
And all the rest she told them wasn't true.
