GODDAMN DOG!!
So... my roommate went out and got himself a DAWWG. A big dog. As in... a Rottie//Shepherd mix that is so DAMN stubborn that he can barely be trained. He also hasn't bothered to spend money on things like a crate, so he can be appropriately housebroken, toys, even dishes or a Haltie/Gentle Leader so he can be taught to walk right on the leash. Said roommate would rather spend money on booze than on taking care of something that is, for all intents and purposes, as much work as raising a fucking child.
It's now getting cold. Too cold to just boot the dog outside for the night. He and my other roomie went out partying and stuck me with the dog. Whenever they leave and the dog is put out, he BARKBARKKBARKS for hours and violently claws at the sliding GLASS door. This dog is easily strong enough to break that damn glass, and the neighbors have to be getting sick of the barking. Sooooo... I decided to leave him leashed indoors, where we leash him to keep him from shitting on the floors. Because HE HAS NO CRATE.
The place where we leash him is on tile, and he has a big soft pad to sleep on. It's not like he can't get to his food or water or anything. So... I left him where he was for the intervening three or so hours that they would be out drinking themselves blind. Foolish me... I thought that was the best way to treat the dog.
So, they get home and the roommate whose dog it is stomps around and yells, wakes me up, is a general asshole to me over it because the dog shit and puked all over the floor in the intervening three hours. Demanded that I be the one to clean the floor. I did it in the interest of keeping the peace... for now. But I guarangoddamntee I'm going to be looking for other living arrangements.
