Our dogs are part of our families, right?

You’re darn right!

We only want the best for them, and part of that includes their safety.

So you can probably understand why someone would get pretty bent out of shape if a person took their dog without their permission.

Yeah…not cool.

That’s what the woman in this story is dealing with.

Let’s take a look!

Roommate obsessed with my dog.

“This is a story about my roommate who’s obsessed with my dog.

The back story why I moved here is I’m recently separated. My family doesn’t have clue.

I wasn’t ready to tell them that I’m not with my partner anymore, so me and my ex decided to part ways.

We have 2 dogs and I stayed with the smaller dog.

You gotta do what you gotta do…

When looking for place I was in a bit of a rush because of the separation. I ended finding a room for rent close to my job that accepts dogs.

When I went it was a Hispanic mom in her 50s and daughter in her early 20s. I am also Hispanic.

When we moved in they loved my dog right away. I was happy that they became loving with my dog.

A week or 2 in, the 20 year old, Leticia, started to get really close to my dog. It first started with giving him food. At first I didn’t say anything because I just didn’t but I don’t like it because he gets sick easily.

That’s not cool…

The feeding turned into her taking him out on a walk while I’m working without my acknowledgment.

I had mentioned that I prefer for her not to do that.

Same with the food I told her to not give him food because he specifically eats rice and chicken I cook for him. since I work every day I made the hard decision to just lock him in my room until I’m off since they weren’t being respectful about that.

This is very odd…

I forgot to mention that they ended up taking him out when they were running errands. It upset me because he’s my dog.

I decided to lock him in room.

They stopped after being strict with it then I finally gave in and left door open when I’m not there so he can roam free.

Yikes!

That’s when I came home my roommate Leticia told me she took my dog somewhere 30 minutes away.

I was really upset about it and she proceeded to tell me that I need to take him out and not keep locked in the room.

BUT I DO. I take him to work many times.

I also over heard when the mom claimed it’s their dog. What should I do? It’s getting worse.”

People seem to have mixed reactions about this story…

But I think it’s pretty weird that her roommate is taking her dog without her permission.

I know I wouldn’t be okay with that!

It sounds like she needs to find a new place to live ASAP…
