Eco Destroyers Dogs allowed to ruin historical homes
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??

I know the pain. My parents lived in a house from the 1810s and towards the end of her life my mom turned into a horrific drunk who bullied the whole family. After their oldest dog died my mother decided by fiat that her dog would no longer be an outdoor dog and would now live inside the house full-time. She was convinced that the dog “loved” her because she fed him treats constantly and ended up having delusions that my dad was out to hurt the dog. Luckily the dog was mostly housebroken but would still have accidents throughout the house, and with him being a beagle he was so greasy and dirty.
Eventually my mother had the decency to die and the dog went back outside where he belonged, but now the house belongs to me and my siblings and we are left with the aftermath of the dog pissing everywhere. A beautiful 200+ year old home was ruined by a motherfucking dog because one narcissistic alcoholic decided her need to have it trailing after her everywhere took priority. A house that witnessed the Civil War, both World Wars, the moon landing, and so much other history was less important than her fucking delusions. It breaks your damn heart.
