To sit in this horrible bedroom and just weep?

Oh my Christ.

DH and I are staying the night with BiL. I've spent the evening fighting off two huge dogs who repeatedly jumped up, lunged at my face, sat on my handbag and scratched (cue SiL cheerfully 'oh we think she has mange!'), walked the length of the room weeing..

This continued while we attempted to eat dinner from our laps, one-handed whilst shoving dogs noses away from our plates.

I've just gone up to spare room, DH still happily downstairs, and the bed is literally covered in dog hairs. Sheets, duvet, both pillows. The whole house including the bedroom stinks of unwashed dogs.

Aibu to sit in the corner of the room and just cry? What the bloody hell should I do? I can't bring myself to lie down in that disgusting bed!

I am determined I will get the words "shave a monkey" into a sentence today. Failure not an option.

It could be used in so many situations, AD.

My hands are so rough, I could shave a monkey.

My throat is so dry, I could shave a monkey.

Etc.

Oh god, poor OP
My husband knows I wont go into a house with dogs.

Apocalypse cheese Toastie : Your anecdote is so funny, thanks !
Recklesswoman : dogs are ANIMALS and yes, animals do smell, and dogs do like a bit of licking too. I've always found this disgusting. My advice is to say so as soon as you are embarrassed, don't wait. Talk, say the bed is full of hairs and say you can't eat when dogs are running around or on your lap.
Personnally, I can't stand dogs. Friends know it and take measures if they want me as a guest.

Hee hee, yes, yes, the dog incident was rather funny, and no, he didn't wash his hands, thank god for open plan houses.

It happened about 12 years ago and my sister, the neat freak who I once caught raking her snow, STILL goes on about it with a little shudder at the end
