my mum wants to look after her boyfriends yapping dog for 4 days...

[biglips]

as she is going away tmrw and got noone to look after the dog (so she had left it on the last minute)..its usually my mums boyfriend daughter looks after it but she is on the verge of having a baby any day

Im happy to leave him in my small back yard from Thurs to Sunday as ive got a housecat.

i cant stand her boyfriends dog as hes sooo disobient (sp) and doesnt listen full stop..and he does get on my nerves as i dont like him and my mum had a few times nealry had a nervous breakdown over him

i dont really want to look after the dog but i feel mean not to

what should i doooo???

Are there kennels near you?

I would HATE to be told I was looking after a dog like that, especially a badly behaved one! I would say "No, sorry, I hate dogs"

well the prob is that i love dogs apart from her dog!

mum said that she will have to cancel her little break from liverpool to Scotland if she cant find anyone to look after it

ive looked after her dog a few years ago as he a brilliant house dog (no longer is with my mum) but this dog aint

Combo of badly behaved dog and small child would make me say "Oh, well, that's a shame, but I can't risk having the dog here".

I would look after it. It's only 4 days.

well i am happy to keep him outside

what about overnight though as i dont want him jumping all over my expensive leather suite in the living room

i can keep him in the back room but he better not bark!! as at home he is usually on the landing overnight but my cat's bed is on the landing

i know exactly how you feel. my bil lost his wife recently and he stays over at my house most saturday nights with my neice. i love seeing them but they have a king charles and i hate it. it pisses in my hall, it tries to shag the cusions, it stinks ( long hair) and yaps contstantly.

i laso love dogs and have a 3 year old boxer, i would rather have a 6 stone boxer dog than a yapping smelly rat any day. what makes it worse is that my bil has no control over it at all. i some times think that when people get small dogs they dont see the importance in training.

i have no advice but feel better for ranting on ( sorry)

ill just sellotape his gob up all day

well he cant be in here as my cats littertray is in the kitchen next to the back door plus her foods so i cant move her litter tray.

Dont get me wrong..ill take him out for walkies with the kids

i do actually blame my mums BF as he does sod all to train the dog as he doesnt get involved at all with the dog as he leaves it with mum...(mum been with him for 1.5 yrs so the dog was there before mum)

well ive got him!
