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.

Put her stapler in jelly. And then tell her you did't when she asks. See how she likes being lied to.

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

A Broon One and A White One.

This is obviously AI

No one in real life has 2 cats that are different colours.

Reported.

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

It’s a real dog eat dog type place. Full of liars trying to get one over on each other.

Red flags all the way. Time to get your 🦆🦆🦆 in a row OP.

Obviously just a shaggy dog story

As long as there is some shagging going on i suppose

spinningplates2024 · 18/04/2026 00:05

I think she’s got a secret dog walking side hustle and she’s doing it in work time.

Cleocaterpillar · 18/04/2026 00:14

Perhaps her husband is a furry?

KnitWitsAnonymous · 18/04/2026 00:19

I know the work colleague and she only has one dog. The other one self-identifies as a dog and goes by the name of Babe . . . .

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.

My favourite part is the opening line

" I work with a work colleague "

🚶

😂😂😂😂

id love to send you the link to another thread I read tonight. It was one long string of these type of things! But I won't because it's mean.

ForCosyLion · 18/04/2026 00:38

OP, promise your colleague a treat if she tells the truth. And if she's lying, get HR to pawtion her and move on.

ForCosyLion · 18/04/2026 00:48

I hope you and she don't end up at doggerheads over this. She might tell you to stop talking to her in that bone of voice.

ThiswasamistakeDr · 18/04/2026 00:51

YANBU. One of them is a wolf in dogs clothing

Flannelfeet · 18/04/2026 00:54

Isa is that you hen? 🤣

Negroany · 18/04/2026 00:56

Let sleeping dogs lie.

ThiswasamistakeDr · 18/04/2026 00:57

I suspect the OP is barking mad

Ilovelifeverymuch · 18/04/2026 01:19

The comments are hilarious 🤣 😆 🤣

Where's the OP? @Sam155320 please come back and give us an update 😂

vodkaredbullgirl · 18/04/2026 01:24

😂 😂 with the replies.

BeanQuisine · 18/04/2026 01:37

Truth be told, she has one "cis dog" and one cat that believes it was born in the wrong body.

But it only identifies as a dog when the cis dog is being fed.

Maybe you got the wrong end of the stick because her husband is called Finton.
