Annoying house mate

Norman snores louder than any one I've ever heard! Sometimes I have to gently rearrange his head if it's smoothed up against the crate but it never occurred to me to get mad about it.

I am so damn mad reading this and it isn't even my dog!!!!! You need to tell him to hit the road. I agree that there is no way to know what he might do to him when you are not there. That is some kind of nerve. He is damn lucky it wasn't my dog!!

Sometimes me partner and I lie in bed and laugh about the way he snores and how much louder it gets once we start to talk about it haha but I have never felt even slightly irritated about it (when my partner snores it's a different story lol I would love to put him outside)

Anyone who touches my dog like that, let alone makes a decision about him on my behalf----without consulting me--- is history, period.

Gone.

Bye-bye.

Just the thought of somebody doing that to my dog makes me crazy.

What an arrogant ass...

Simple solution, kick his ass to the curb! You do not have to be diplomatic, it's your house and your pup.

Talk to your roommate and tell her that his behavior is unacceptable and you will not allow it. Even though she pays rent, she is not paying rent for 2 and it's your house when it's all said and done.

Poor Angus must be so confused.

I also 100% agree. If I was in your shoes, this guy would be no longer welcomed in my house. From all that you've said he's an asshole, he has no respect for you, and should not be allowed around your dog. Plain and simple. Good luck!

"He has a tiny little dachshund that is an outside dog"

This alone speaks volumes about the character of this individual from my perspective.


"He told me that he can't stand un disciplined dogs so if we don't discipline him he feels that He has to".

This a Red Flag for us. Excuse me? And if he were to discipline your dog and your dog
were to
Object..We suspect he'd be suing you for provoking your dog!
I'm sorry but I would explain to my cousin.. that I love her but her BF's attitude and remarks are making you uncomfortable, and you find this disconcerting and stressful. You are renting to her and this wasn't something you expected to be an issue. Maybe, it's not going to work out ultimately but you are trying to be diplomatic and this person
has violated your boundaries. Me, I would install a Nanny cam where your dog can be monitored. This situation shouldn't even be a concern and now your happy home life is being disrupted. Really sorry to hear this. Heck, I'd report him for leaving his little dog outside, here in our town.. it would be frowned upon and someone would ultimately rescue the little dog from him!

I too was going to suggest ear plugs in the 33/34 db range. Heck , I wear them myself as we have a Frenchie and she snores me to sleep nightly and wakes me on occasion but I find it endearing..I think we'd be alarmed if she actually didn't snore- LOL

Really ..We are sorry to hear you are stressing over this..You tried to help your cousin out it sounds.. . Please keep us posted..And give Angus a Treat for Us!! :) ;)

He is definitely a jerk. He is one of those guys that Spends his life at the gym working out and doesn't care about anyone or anything other than himself. I wish my
Cousin would just get rid of him but we don't always get what we want.

It just annoys me that in his way of thinking all dogs are outside creatures (especially large dogs) and he thinks that we are irresponsible dog owners because we allow our dog to be inside. I believe that it is Angus's house too and I want to be with him as much as he wants to be with me so it makes more sense to move him inside than to move me outside.

I am very sure angus would sink into a doggy depression if I suddenly told him he now had to be outside for reasons other than walks, playing and toiletting. His whole world would be turned upside down

As far as I am concerned, dogs are meant to be with their people, which is most often indoors.

I'd tell my cousin that she had better put a muzzle on her bitch before her bitch finds himself in trouble. How dare he insult you and Angus that way.. In your own home no less!

AB said it best.

He has waay overstepped his bounds and then next time he presumes to do ANYTHING with your dog, he is gone. I would also tell your roommate that this is a deal breaker. If he touches your dog again and it is the last time he is allowed in the house. And if he is half the db he sounds like, I would make sure he is NEVER left unattended with your dog and he is never allowed in the house when you are not there. If your roommate can't respect that, then she too needs to leave.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you made a lifetime commitment to your dog - not her and definately not to him.

I agree with what everyone else has said on here already. It is not his place to decide that your dog is undisciplined and take it upon himself to discipline your dog! I can't tell you how many people (family or not) that I have told off because they wind up my dog while playing with him and then when they decide they are done playing they use their own ineffective techniques to calm him down which only makes the situation worse, my cousin tried to alpha roll Jake once and I caught him, boy did he get an earful from me (and then won't listen to me when I correct them, these people are no longer allowed to even be in a room alone with my dog). If he can't sleep because of the dog snoring then he doesn't need to stay there, I'm assuming he has his own home then he needs to live at his own home and maybe try to take care of his own dog.

I would not leave the a$$whole alone with my dog! If he is doing that with you there, no telling what he might do with you gone. I agree with nanny cam idea or your cousin can entertain him at his place.

I can understand helping out your cousin AussieGirl but the jerk she is involved with has to go - you have no obligation what so ever to people like that! I'm in complete agreement with others that have said this isn't a good situation and the jerk needs to go elsewhere. Maybe it's because our babies have the same name but I would see red if someone put my Angus outside at night! That person would no longer be welcome in my home and sorry to say but if your cousin doesn't understand that maybe she needs to leave too.

Years ago a jerky BF my sister brought to visit repeatedly joked about feeding chocolate to the puppy I had at that time - I was not amused to say the least and let them both know it in no uncertain terms. My sister knew better and had dogs of her own! When he kept it up I asked them to leave - even going so far as to drop them off at the airport 2 days early for their flights home. Anyone who isn't kind and understanding to animals has no place in my life.

My husband and I also laugh about our Angus' snoring at night. He starts, next we hear our boxer boxer join in and pretty soon I hear my hubby join the chorus - music to my ears!

Get the jerk out of your house!

WOW. I would be irate if anyone did that to any of my pets! I don't know where you live, but it's cold here and even if it wasn't I wouldn't want my babies being outside all alone and afraid in the dark! Poor peanut..... I'm glad that you stuck to your guns. Boyfriend sounds like an ass.... anyone who doesn't like animals isn't a kind hearted person IMO. Sounds like she's better off w/ out him!
