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.

Thingy, if I'd have thought of that I may have done, though I have the horrible feeling that she'd have replied bark bark bark 😄

[Aeroflotgirl]

Yanbu at all, unfriendly away!

[MrsJayy]

My sister created an instagram for her dog so many #hairybaby rubbish

[dizzyfeck]

You unfriended the dog? Imagine the fun you could of had!

[ProseccoBitch]

YANBU, that is deeply odd. I have two terriers that I love to bits, I put photos of them on Facebook if they're doing something particularly amusing or cute or naughty but I don't pretend to be them on Facebook.

Thingy ..that's genius lol maybe someone can make a random cat profile and comment on all the doggy pics about how much smarter cats are

[Thingmcthingyface]

Simples, create an account for your dog, add her dog as a friend and then write 'woof woof woof' on her wall every five minutes.

I thought that FB were removing these types of profiles? I know far too many someone who had a profile for her guide dog and FB took it down.

I am a guide dog owner and I know of a lot of people whose guide dogs have their own Facebook accounts and the like. and even those I find cringeworthy. Just post about yourself FFS. .

My DS set up a Twitter account for my dog but it has about five posts on it as the novelty wore off after about --five minutes- a week. and I only agreed to let him do it on condition I didn't have to have anything to do with writing on it etc. .

YANBU!! Bloody hell that's pathetic!!

[FreshwaterSelkie]

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.

"rolled in some fox shit this morning. Smelling great!
Going for a walk! Brilliant! Lying in my basket! Brilliant! Poking the cat! Brilliant! Had biscuits for dinner! Brilliant! Barked at the postie! Brilliant!"

or
"Had to go to the vets "

Your friend's barking

[BellaGoth]

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

[horseygeorgie1]

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

[JenBehavingBadly]

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.

[Champers4Pampers]

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

[JenBehavingBadly]

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?

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

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

high five BellaGoth

[BellaGoth]

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

[DearMrDilkington]

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!

[BellaGoth]

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

[BellaGoth]

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

[glitterwhip]

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

[JenBehavingBadly]

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.

[Nocabbageinmyeye]

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 )

[JenBehavingBadly]

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.
