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.

Does she drive a furrarri....?

Maybe she’s very recently acquired another dog and you’ve not met it yet.

Maybe she won it in a competition

And the OP's just jealous because she doesn't Winalot?

Are you the lead investigator to establish what's going on, OP?

viques · 17/04/2026 22:10

Depends on the dogs. Two chihuahua? Easy peasy. Two Newfoundlands? EEk!

OR maybe she has a husky, a cold dog.

And one of these 🌭, a hot dog.

You should let sleeping dogs lie.

You've given us a good laugh, OP. Take a bow-wow.

ThePlantPotter · 17/04/2026 22:07

Maybe she's got 2 dogs in a trenchcoat

Is one of her dogs two guinea pigs in a trench coat?

I can't stop imagining this!

Laiste · 17/04/2026 22:05

🤣
this is like MN of old

PancakeHouse · 17/04/2026 22:05

I actually know her, and she’s got six dogs and one cat.

She leaves the dogs at home but walks the cat to work on a lead.

How have you not noticed?

ForCosyLion · 17/04/2026 22:04

If you have to work with such dishonesty, it sounds like your office is going to the dogs, OP.

I can’t think for the life of me why anyone would lie about the amount of dogs they have. There’s nothing to gain or lose by it?

Dogs? Gain or loss of dogs, surely? 🐕‍🦺

By far the most shocking thing I’ve read on MN today. I will need to sit down now.

I'm going to ask MN to put a trigger warning on the thread title.

LaughingCat · 17/04/2026 21:59

Oh, OP, that’s ruff.

ForCosyLion · 17/04/2026 21:59

Ultraalox · 17/04/2026 21:52

Start hounding her for answers OP

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CottageGate · 17/04/2026 21:58

She has a chihuahua and a muffin.

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

VeraWang · 17/04/2026 21:38

She's barking mad and needs to see a dog-tor ASAP.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant!

JacquesHarlow · 17/04/2026 21:58

My favourite part is the opening line

" I work with a work colleague "

🚶

momtoboys · 17/04/2026 21:56

That lying bitch.

MyOtherProfile · 17/04/2026 21:56

How do you know?

Could one live with her mum or something?

momtoboys · 17/04/2026 21:56

Hobbes8 · 17/04/2026 21:35

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

😂😂

SerendipityCat · 17/04/2026 21:55

Never mind the imaginary (or not) dog, what about your son, his grandma, and her comments about his fake tan? I think you owe it to the MN readership to update us, as you never came back to the thread. If I wasn’t worried about being accused of troll-hunting - heaven forfend - I could almost suspect you of being insincere.

CottageGate · 17/04/2026 21:55

I bet she just has one of those dogs that look like a mop. And a mop.
