AIBU to think my colleague is lying about having two dogs?

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:

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

You're lying because I know for a fact that you've got 27.

What is it with all these people pretending they've got one dog fewer than they really have?

EdithBond · 17/04/2026 23:12

Maybe one’s a deceased dog. Is no more. Has ceased to be. Expired and gone to meet its maker. An ex-dog. Stuffed.

Actually knew someone who had his dead labrador stuffed and sat it in the window to ward off burglars.

There was once a woman from work,
Who claimed that two dogs were hers,
I only know about one,
She must be lying about the other,
It’s such a huge thing to discover,
To mumsnet I came,
To share my disdain,
That lying bitch is surely insane.

That's a really, really terrible piece of doggerel.

I know for a fact there’s no cousin called Anton

😮

She completely fooled me

Im just here for the comments. Haha they did not disappoint!!

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.

Edited

Don't be unfair so rough (ruff?) on the colleague. All it takes is a Furminator for ten minutes and it's easy to think that you've got a second dog.

EmmaOvary · 17/04/2026 23:16

That’s nothing. I used to work with a woman who claimed to not own a cat but it turned out she had one as a child. In another life. Outrageous.

I had a cat as a child and I've got two cats now.

Maybe this is the 2nd one

Anyone got a scooby doo what's going on ?

Tensetickle · 17/04/2026 23:23

I feel like it might be a good idea to spend more time doing your actual job and less time doggedly interrogating your colleagues about their pets

Cute. But should we believe you have two? 😉

How do we know one’s not…the neighbour’s cat?

Exactly, and I don’t think OP should be confronting her and causing drama at work. She should let sleeping dogs lie.

I haven't got any neighbours.
I'm a hermit.

InterestedDad37 · 17/04/2026 23:31

I think maybe you're barking up the wrong tree

JoeSikoraTommysStory · 17/04/2026 23:32

Raise a grievance with HR and start looking for another job; your work place sounds toxic.

Isn't it a case for Paw Patrol?

Are they Shep and Petra? If so, I have an important update for you.

If I was the lying colleague that had been caught out, I’d definitely be feeling a bit sheepish right now 🤣.

😂This is a brilliant thread!
