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.

OP posts:

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

I'm going to ask MN to put a trigger warning on the thread title.

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?

Dogs? Gain or loss of dogs, surely? 🐕‍🦺

If you have to work with such dishonesty, it sounds like your office is going to the dogs, OP.

PancakeHouse · 17/04/2026 22:05

I actually know her, and she’s got six dogs and one cat.

She leaves the dogs at home but walks the cat to work on a lead.

How have you not noticed?

Laiste · 17/04/2026 22:05

🤣
this is like MN of old

Is one of her dogs two guinea pigs in a trench coat?

I can't stop imagining this!

ThePlantPotter · 17/04/2026 22:07

Maybe she's got 2 dogs in a trenchcoat

ForCosyLion · 17/04/2026 22:07

You've given us a good laugh, OP. Take a bow-wow.

Aniceempirebiscuitandacupoftea · 17/04/2026 22:08

Maybe she’s very recently acquired another dog and you’ve not met it yet.

Hannaseed · 17/04/2026 22:10

You should let sleeping dogs lie.

viques · 17/04/2026 22:10

Depends on the dogs. Two chihuahua? Easy peasy. Two Newfoundlands? EEk!

OR maybe she has a husky, a cold dog.

And one of these 🌭, a hot dog.

Are you the lead investigator to establish what's going on, OP?

Aniceempirebiscuitandacupoftea · 17/04/2026 22:08

Maybe she’s very recently acquired another dog and you’ve not met it yet.

Maybe she won it in a competition

And the OP's just jealous because she doesn't Winalot?

Neveranynamesleft · 17/04/2026 22:10

Does she drive a furrarri....?

Toottooot · 17/04/2026 22:11

I ken for a fact she’s got 5 dugs. So aye, you’re right she is lying.

MrsMitford3 · 17/04/2026 22:11

Its a dog eat dog world out there…

Hannaseed · 17/04/2026 22:11

I think you are barking up the wrong tree tbh.

YeahNoCoolCrap · 17/04/2026 22:13

Don't get involved. Let sleeping dogs lie (about how many of them there are).

Don't rub your bum on the carpet like that!

Are you saying she is Wagatha?

Won it in a competition? In my young day all I could win was a goldfish. 😂

SylvanMoon · 17/04/2026 22:19

and ..... ?

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 17/04/2026 22:20

No idea but someone's barking.

VeraWang · 17/04/2026 22:21

I do hope the OP isn't going to XL Bully her colleague about this?

She might have her collar felt by HR.

KnitWitsAnonymous · 17/04/2026 22:23

Send her to Specsavers ~ she may have double vision . . .
