I didn't know in what thread to post this and I don't think it merits it's own thread. Not a FacePunch to me per se, but to my partner.
So... I just inherited a dog.
His mother just decided this weekend that the lovely dog that she's had for 7 years... was suddenly no longer welcome and that she wanted to get rid of it and give it to the "pound" (or more humane equivalent here). His mother has some un-diagnosed border personality disorder, so while very unfortunate, isn't really that surprising a reaction.
He was at his mother's for the weekend and just found this ridiculous. The dog is wonderfully trained, doesn't make any messes inside, and doesn't shed. She's just high energy and his mother doesn't want it anymore.
Instead of seeing this lovely dog go to the pound, he brought her home. I'm away for the week, but he texted this morning that we have a new member in our family. Surprise!
So I now have a new dog in my 750 sq foot condo without a yard and with two full-time working adults.
He did it out of the goodness of his heart, I know this, but still. Damn.
