Page 3 | 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.

Maybe she owns one dog and the dog is the owner of the other dog.

Also - and assuming for a moment that this is a serious question asked by the OP (I'm not) - a kinder view might be that the colleague now has one dog, and one other has recently died. The colleague may be deeply grieving the loss of that dog and is not yet in a place where she feels able to say "I've only got one dog now."

There - that's a serious suggestion. Enough of that. Back to business.

@Dontlletmedownbruce I too fell at the altar of Hooch and Two Dogs in the 1990s on several occasions. Happy but vague days. I will clarify that at no time was I ever physically involved with Hooch (dog) - or Turner for that matter.

Cancel the cheque and buy her a second dog

Why does it matter/ However if she is lying about work matters, that's another thing.

She brings one dog to work and pretends that the other one is at home.

This is surely the most serious of mumsnet posts. I didn’t sleep last night guessing how many people could be lying about the no of dogs they own :(

Sheepsmellnice · 18/04/2026 17:53

Who the hell cares?

Chickadee001 · 18/04/2026 17:48

What does it matter and how does it affect you directly?!

I heard it made people feel dog ruff the next day.

I can testify to that. Drank too much Hooch, flirted with and kissed a friend, woke up mortified and sober. No hair of the dog that morning. That was in 1996 and we are still together. That's 210 in dog years.

Why would she lie? Was it for extra time off because it was ill or something?

Sigh

Could she have one dog and a big mirror?

Oh yea must be. Was similar to Hooch. Alcoholic lemonade. Turner and Hooch maybe.

Wasn't there an alcopop called Two Dogs years ago? Maybe she was talking about that?

She’s obviously lying about having two dogs. My guess is she has 5. It wouldn’t surprise me if she has goats and sheep too. Dogs are a gateway pet. I’d report her to your local council, they take this sort of thing very seriously. In your shoes I’d be very concerned. My old neighbour Tony (not real name) once lied about having two dogs. Me and Barbara (not real name but lives next door but one) are still dealing with the fallout and it happened 8 years ago 😳

Be wary of Barbara though, I’ve heard she’s up to her neck in the whole fiasco

IsItSummerSoon · 18/04/2026 14:18

I just hope the person who this post is clearly about sees it and jumps on to clarify how many dogs she has. 😂

In a 'dog eat dog' world maybe she started with two but then.......

I only read the OP’s post and saw she hadn’t returned when I commented.
