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.

Omg! A Mumsnet first for me! I have literally just pissed myself laughing at the diagram

I lolled at this. I am not the piss troll.

I’m impressed this is still going with no return from the OP and so little info! 😂

SheilaWilde · 18/04/2026 21:31

@ThiswasamistakeDr you could be right about Barbara. She borrowed my lawnmower 8 months ago and I still havn’t got it back. I now realise it must be related to Tony two dogs. She’s certainly pulled the wool over my eyes.

Two dogs, Sam155320? Two? That's insane.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 18/04/2026 21:53

If she has a hyperactive dog, and it races around a lot from room to room, I can believe that she thinks that she does have two dogs.

Delphiniumandlupins · 18/04/2026 21:58

Maybe she suffers from dyscalculia. You should be more supportive.

A neighbour knocked on our door the other day, complaining our dog keeps chasing him on his bike. I said that's impossible...he doesn't even have a bike....

likelysuspect · 18/04/2026 22:23

This is all too good.

MyLilacBeaker · 18/04/2026 22:54

Well how very dare she! Get on that phone and call Johnny Law right now! This is really serious now! She might also of hoodwinked another poor innocent person in this awful web of lies and deceiving behaviour. Quite frankly I believe in my heart and soul that this is the WORST thing to have ever been said in all the world and will stay with us in this life and the next. Our kids WILL learn about this in their history classes! May God have mercy on us all!

This is surely the most serious of mumsnet posts. I didn’t sleep last night guessing how many people could be lying about the no of dogs they own :(

Hahahahahaha 😂🤣😂

BeenThere2Often · 18/04/2026 23:26

This is an AI posting, isn’t it?
Quite funny though.

oggie679 · 19/04/2026 01:32

Who cares

Ijwwm · 19/04/2026 02:00

I am starting to worry about quite a lot of MN posters. A large number of them take the time to post concerns, but they are then never seen again. Have they been abducted by aliens? Sad times 🥲

SunConure · 19/04/2026 07:58

There must be
some missing background here or this makes no sense. Why is this important or even worth posting about? Who cares how many dogs she has?

Nowvoyager99 · 19/04/2026 08:35

Oh please come back @Sam155320

I care. This type of behaviour needs calling out. By not caring, you are enabling these people to continue lying about how many dogs they have. Is that the sort of world you want your children growing up in?

And we're not told what line of work this work colleague works in. She might even be a vicar, demanding honesty and virtue from her flock, but then lying through her teeth about her number of dogs.

She swore blind from the pulpit
That she had a baby bullpit,
And a pretty labradoodle, making two;

But her only real life duggy
Was a puggy, name of Dougie,
And all the rest she told them wasn't true.

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

😂😂😂😂

intrepidpanda · 19/04/2026 10:26

Why would you lie about that
It hardly makes you look good

Tryanalogue · 19/04/2026 12:22

Two dogs is her truth…

Almost everyone on this thread cares.

Well, apart from the people who don't realise that it's a joke thread. Like you.

It's actually of vital importance to the whole world, if you did but know it.

Vital stuff.

Right, I'm off to roast some vegetables.

Exactly.

Its why the country has gone to literal (dog) shit.

People lying about pet ownership and other people not giving a toss

We should all be vigilant and be an ally to those who feel there should be honesty about dog numbers in the household.

One of them is actually a cat but she's dressing it up as a dog just to give it an identity crisis. She needs a hobby.
