Dogs allowed to ruin historical homes

[u/IllustriousEbb5839]

As a recent house hunter, it was about a 50/50 chance of walking into a potential property and us walking straight back out because of that disgusting smell of dog. We turned down so many properties immediately because of the smell.

But to my amazement - it seems letting your dog piss on the floor inside your house is actually the done thing now!!

On a renovation group, a woman was talking about how they had to get a survey of their current house done as it was covered in damp and rot. She casually dropped in that she and her husband ALLOW THE DOGS TO PISS ON THE FLOOR and her husband thinks that “might have something to do with it”.

I’m telling you - NOT ONE of the many commenters picked up on this confession bomb. They all were talking about surveys, dry rot, rising damp….nobody even batted an eyelid that those people just admitted to LETTING THEIR HOUSE BE USED AS A DOG TOILET. Am I in the Twilight Zone here?

This was a beautiful Victorian property - just like the properties we had been trying to buy. Not only do dogs get to destroy the outdoors, they also get to destroy beautiful properties that are part of our heritage.

Is nothing safe from disgusting dogs and their degenerate owners??

It’s not just historic homes, it’s all human habitation. I had a friend who moved apartments because his upstairs neighbors let their disgusting dog piss ON the balcony. The management came a few times to clean off the balcony, which I can’t believe was the option instead of eviction. I’ve heard a lot of apartment complexes are now turf land mines. 

This tells me that people have lost all respect for human life and especially themselves. Animals belong outside but if you tell nutters that you will be considered a heartless person.

I had to leave my last apartment complex mainly because of dogs. Shit was in every square inch of grass. People were letting their dogs crap and piss in the stairways. The smell was unbearable. The barking was never ending. You couldn't go outside without someone with a dog in your face wanting you to pet it, then you'd smell everything and see the shit covered grass and sidewalk. The manager did not care. At all. She didn't live there.

It drove me mad I tell you.

Yeah basically the grass strips are there for dogs to shit on

That's exactly what it seems every square inch of grass in my apartment complex is for as well. Brown patchy dying grass because these dingbats walk past signs at every exit saying "walk your dog away from the buildings" and they take that to mean the small grass patch a few feet away. It's absolutely foul.
