To unfriend a dog?

[JenBehavingBadly]

I accepted a friend request from what I thought was my friend's sister.

After a couple of days of "walkies with mummy" and "yum yum new bone" posts, I realised it was her dog. She has created a FB page for her bloody DOG.

Anyway, to save myself from more inanity and memes about mummy loving doggy etc, I unfriended.

My friend has now got the hump. WIBU, or is this a thing now that I don't get, like the trend for dead caterpillar eyebrows.

Yabu, it is insane!! My friend does this and tags the dog in her own posts too ffs

Oh feck YANBU not Yabu, ooops

Yanbu unfriend away.

I love dogs, but would never dream of creating a facebook profile for one.

What would they say? 'Checking into the park for walkies' 'Lying in my basket licking my bum'??

Oh fgs. People who have pets just cannot understand how other people cannot adore their pets as much as they do.

You did the right thing OP.

Rattusn you must have seen her page as that's pretty much word for word what it was

Why tag the dog? Even the most intensively trained dog isn't going to open up its smart phone and go - ooh, I've been tagged.

Spot is -Feeling excited.
Tagged as chasing squirrels in the park.

My SIL created an account for her dog, she now tags her in a post every year on the anniversary of the day she died to tell her she misses her. Ffs!

It's just a bit of silliness but sounds like your friend is taking it way too seriously. I suppose you could have stayed friends but stopped the news feed from the friend/dog. A FB friend did this with her cat, I think she needed more 'friends' for Farmville neighbours.

My old dog had an FB page. He was a rescue, everyone at the Centre wanted to know how he was getting on. It seemed easiest.

However, I only posted about once a week and never stupid childish stuff.

Yes I could have unfollowed, I suppose, but my automatic reaction was to unfriend as it was a bit bollocks.

I didn't want my 'people you may know' feed to be full of Rex, Chester, Spike and Killer.

Well really she made a fb for her dog so I shouldn't be surprised she tags him to be fair, if your going to go to the bother of opening a page (which means the dog needs it's own email address too) then your bat shit crazy behaviour radar is obviously broken so your liable to do anything, including getting annoyed at people for unfriending (we need to lmow what she said )

90day that sounds like it had a purpose though and in that case I could understand it.

The portable fluffball in this case doesn't have a history like that.

lol I didn't read the entire thread (but i will)
Fucking hell this made me laugh my arse off! Yanbu but that is the funniest and most ridiculous thing Iv ever heard on Facebook
Walkies with mummy made me spit out my tea

Hang on, I'm confused. Is it your friend's dog, or your friend's sister's dog? Do they have the same name?

My dog has her own FB page, but in my defence I set it up because she was a rescue who was very much loved by the people who rehabilitated her, so I set up the account so they could see updates on her progress without me cluttering up my other friend's newsfeeds.

It is not my fault that 20 other people friended her. she has more friends than me

Haha cross post with 90! There's clearly a gap in the market for some sort of dog rescue update app!

She had a Facebook for her dog! Why did you unfriend! You were meant to comment on every status telling them what a good girl they are!

Ooh yes! Or you could have had some fun posting pictures of cats to her wall!

Has your friend unfriended you yet from her proper account? This is surely the next step.

Like Dogs Reunited?

Quick question then - Would the dog FB page owners on here call up someone who had unfriended said dog and ask they what said dog had done to offend them?

YANBU, its entirely up to you who you have as a friend. To be honest your friend is being unreasonable for getting annoyed.

I should point out that I am a dog owner. I love my dog, she's part of my family and I do post the odd pic of her on FB.

Just not 3 times a day with posts like "mummy isn't happy I did a doggy trump" and so on.

That is batshit crazy! At least before the internet crazy dog ladies went relatively unnoticed!

Um, no. I wouldn't call. I'm not THAT crazy! Yet

YANBU. I am giddy as you like about my dogs, I refer to myself as their mummy and I'm as twee as twee can be on all thing related to them.

But they don't need a facebook account.
