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.

Don't become friends with this colleague OP.

You don't want a liar as your Chum or your PAL.

Maybe she has double vision? Best get her referred to Occy Health

It's a dog eat dog world @Sam155320 .
So ya know, maybe dog 1 ate dog 2? So she's still technically got 2 dogs, but one is inside the other?

SimonWigglesBaratoneVoice · 17/04/2026 21:44

What a bitch, I have 26 dogs and I hate people who lie about how many dogs they have.

TikTokker · 17/04/2026 21:44

Sounds legit to me

CottageGate · 17/04/2026 21:45

Are you sure you work with her on a one to one basis?

B1anche · 17/04/2026 21:48

She's definitely lying. I've never heard of anyone having more than one dog.

whatthesigma · 17/04/2026 21:50

TLDR.

VeraWang · 17/04/2026 21:50

I think the OP may be barking up the wrong tree here?

Owly11 · 17/04/2026 21:51

Oh my goodness. I usually take people at face value but in this case the evidence is absolutely overwhelming. She's definitely lying otherwise why would she say she had two dogs?

Ultraalox · 17/04/2026 21:52

Start hounding her for answers OP

LTB

💯 no other option really

Notmyreality · 17/04/2026 21:54

By far the most shocking thing I’ve read on MN today. I will need to sit down now.

susiedaisy1912 · 17/04/2026 21:54

These replies 🤣

CottageGate · 17/04/2026 21:55

I bet she just has one of those dogs that look like a mop. And a mop.

SerendipityCat · 17/04/2026 21:55

Never mind the imaginary (or not) dog, what about your son, his grandma, and her comments about his fake tan? I think you owe it to the MN readership to update us, as you never came back to the thread. If I wasn’t worried about being accused of troll-hunting - heaven forfend - I could almost suspect you of being insincere.

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

😂😂

MyOtherProfile · 17/04/2026 21:56

How do you know?

Could one live with her mum or something?

momtoboys · 17/04/2026 21:56

That lying bitch.

CaffeineAndChords · 17/04/2026 21:57

I can’t think for the life of me why anyone would lie about the amount of dogs they have. There’s nothing to gain or lose by it?

JacquesHarlow · 17/04/2026 21:58

My favourite part is the opening line

" I work with a work colleague "

🚶

ForCosyLion · 17/04/2026 21:58

VeraWang · 17/04/2026 21:38

She's barking mad and needs to see a dog-tor ASAP.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant!

CottageGate · 17/04/2026 21:58

She has a chihuahua and a muffin.

Oh, OP, that’s ruff.
