I work with a work colleague on a one to one basis however I think she’s lied to me about having 2 dogs (she does have 1) as well as to various other work colleagues.

Maybe she owns one dog and the dog is the owner of the other dog.

This
its the obvious explanation

Whatthefork1 · 18/04/2026 12:47

Why would anyone lie about having two dogs? And also why would anyone actually care if they did?

Does the prime minister know? How soon can we get a cobra meeting called?

WTAF - she's got a bastard cobra now ? Let's hope it isn't two.

Based on the info given, I think you're right. She's definitely lying.

🤣🤣🤣

Is it very lumpy as that could be where the second dog has gone?

Ultraalox · 18/04/2026 13:08

Where is OP? Gutted we may never know how many dogs her colleague actually has. 😩

Dontlletmedownbruce · 18/04/2026 13:10

And I'll bet she expects her Mum to mind the dog when she is at work. She sounds like a spoilt entitled brat. Why should her Mum do it, she minded her own dogs long enough. And why is no one expecting her Dad to mind the dog? Its just internalised misogyny. I blame men. I think I'll start a thread about this previously unexplored topic.

The dog jumped over the moon and the dish ran away with the spoon. The end.

It was the cow that jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such fun 😁

No, people who are so invested and suspicious of their colleagues.

people who start threads on here which take the piss out of all the myriad pointless other threads on here?

How would I know that? What are you on about?

Don't tell me you're taking this thread seriously?

😬🙈

I was pawsative i saw the dog. I need to turn around 3 times then have a lie down.

I only read the OP’s post and saw she hadn’t returned when I commented.

BasiliskStare · 18/04/2026 13:28

She sounds unhinged OP.

Log everything.

Is she called Sharon?

Looks like you missed several pages of excellent and inventive humour, then.

Elanol · 18/04/2026 13:59

In a 'dog eat dog' world maybe she started with two but then.......

I just hope the person who this post is clearly about sees it and jumps on to clarify how many dogs she has. 😂

Neveranynamesleft · 18/04/2026 14:34

She better not jump on the sofa...

SheilaWilde · 18/04/2026 15:06

She’s obviously lying about having two dogs. My guess is she has 5. It wouldn’t surprise me if she has goats and sheep too. Dogs are a gateway pet. I’d report her to your local council, they take this sort of thing very seriously. In your shoes I’d be very concerned. My old neighbour Tony (not real name) once lied about having two dogs. Me and Barbara (not real name but lives next door but one) are still dealing with the fallout and it happened 8 years ago 😳

Be wary of Barbara though, I’ve heard she’s up to her neck in the whole fiasco

OonaStubbs · 18/04/2026 15:27

Wasn't there an alcopop called Two Dogs years ago? Maybe she was talking about that?
