MIL bought DH and I a rug for our dining room. It’s red. My son sent me a picture of an ocean pink earlier on and I could smell the rug from in the living room. Basically we have a male dog that constantly pisses on his bed but since we got the rug he’s started pissing and shitting on that instead, I bought a vax all in one cleaner but it’s constant and the rug is full of stains from the dog. Last night DH said “that mat is minging” and yes it is but he won’t throw it out because MIL bought us it!!! The dog is a frenchie and we have had behaviourist in and everything and although he knows to go outside and normally does, if he’s left alone at all (even if we’re in another room) he will go and piss or shit on the rug.
AIBU to insist we throw it out??
