to be annoyed about this situation with neighbour and her dog?

Family members assumes you know the dogs though. It's very different watching a family members dog over a strangers dog, not to mention how the strange dog may behave in another strange place surrounded by strange people and strange dogs.

Not this.

I agree. If I was the parents I would have taken all of the dogs.

I have done so for various family members during the past.

However, we don't know the age of the parents, the size of their house, or the size and temperament of the dogs

I am not saying they Should

I am saying i am surprised
i think most parents would be accommodating to the op's predicament

Edited to say sorry, can see this had now been resolved.

Even just reading the OP it was obvious this would have been resolved one way or another by Friday.

I can tell you for the iPad and mobile, I assume desktop is broadly similar too but I don’t have the app, sorry.

Top right is a little body shape. Click that.

click ‘settings’

now on a phone it will say ‘more settings’ near the top of the screen but it doesn’t with iPad. If on mobile phone, click ‘more settings’.

click ‘talk settings’

Now you should have a whole array of stuff to fiddle with including hiding topics, watching threads, similar threads, all sorts of stuff. My ‘number of posts on a page’ allows me to choose 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 (but I don’t think you can choose 1000 if you made your account after a certain date).

Happy fiddling!

How do you reduce the pages? I’m interested in that please. Loved it ages ago when you could put it all on one page!!!

I can't believe how many people don't read all of OP's comments.

Or that OP should pay for kennels or that kennels in the summer holidays with likely no vaccination paperwork is a simple or possible solution.

The OP is already on holiday, thank goodness.

OMG I cannot believe how many people think taking the dog to a rescue is the answer! She's obviously in deep grief and is not coping, do not surrender her dog. Put it in kennels.

On every single thread like this I just give up when people start suggesting stuff that’s already been resolved. My blood pressure cant really handle any more.

On a slightly unrelated note, did you know you can put more posts onto one page, thus reducing the number of pages you have to navigate?

OP helped her to book her flight though, so I think the neighbour is being honest about that tbh.

I have said it before but honestly this was resolved about 20 pages ago, the dog is fine,OP is on holiday..does no one read updates

The bonkers suggestion is kennels for reasons already stated on this thread such as it is likely full as it is the summer holidays, OP likely doesn't have the dogs vaccination history/proof of vaccination and most importantly, OP shouldn't have to pay for someone else's dog.

If you actually read the thread, you'd see that OP did take dog to the vets and it was all fine.

Lol

Absolutely taking the piss! Losing her mum is obviously horrendous, nobody can take that away from her, but is she honestly expecting you to not go on holiday?! Rude twat.

What are you on about? I don't know how I could have made it more obvious that I was referring to general behaviour/attitude (people who make a big deal verbalising about loving their dogs (not sure how that's nasty or silly in case you don't think owners should love their pets?) but only criticising one specific person (OP's neighbour seeing as it apparently needs to be spelled out) for not actually following through on it the moment it becomes hard.

This.

Vets or RSPCA are bonkers suggestions.

I'd be willing to bet that the owner will come back from 'Scotland' with a deep tan and a bottle of duty-free ouzo.

Does anyone remember the recent thread about a neighbour who asked OP to look after her cat when she was away, and OP couldn’t because she was going away herself? So she left it with two very elderly neighbours who had carers and weren’t able to do anything so the carers were feeding the cat every few days? The thread got to 1000 posts and I didnt see a follow up.

When I was suddenly taken into hospital while pregnant and had an emergency c-section, I was lucky my neighbour had my dog for two nights(I’d been rushed in midnight or it would only have been one night).
Within an hour of being awake- and even before I saw my daughter, I had arranged for FIL to come from up north to London for a short period and a friend from wales to have the dog long term(FIL stayed longer so wasn’t needed).

When you have pets, you can’t just abandon them even when your life is going shit. I am so grateful to my neighbour for helping. It made things so much easier. I’d never have dreamed of taking the piss. I’d have booked a kennel at the absolute worst.

This doesn't make sense. The people who say those things sre not likely to be the same people buggering off abandoning their dog wothout proper care......

Why on earth should OP's parents be expected to look after a total stranger's dog?

A totally unknown dog can make a lot more bother. The poor dog would be with its second set of strangers within a few days and getting increasingly distressed. Plus, while it's relatively easy for two adults to take two dogs out for a walk, that cannot possiby be the case for three dogs. Think a bit, FFS.

That's just such an entitled view.
