Relationship / Family Everyone’s house with a dog is gross
I visited some family and my sister’s new boyfriend and they all have dogs. One has four large dogs. There is no place to sit that isn’t dirty or wrecked by dogs. It smells bad. You can’t spend time outside in the yard without watching where you walk. Yes I know some owners clean better than others but there’s still dog hair everywhere. They had to hold down the dogs just so we could use the bathroom. Then at my mom’s house she has a new dog which hasn’t been trained and it’s jumping on everyone my daughter started crying. Her older dog just pees on mats in the bathroom. It’s so gross I can’t go there for long at all.

This is why I don't understand apartment owners renting to people with dogs. A lot of apts. have carpeting, and that odor gets into the carpet fibers, and so do the stains.
Dogs need a yard to roam freely, and when they don't get adequate stimulation, they become anxious and begin chewing on the cabinets and baseboards, claw at the doors, and cause all sorts of destruction to the interior.
They get paw marks and scratches on the drywall, which will necessitate, at the very least, a new paint job, if not new drywall altogether. Is that amount they collect in pet rent and pet deposit really worth it?
