Ok, in case any of you haven't read the post prior to this, I sometimes call home and try to get my roommates to real Easy, simple tasks to help me take care of my puppy. I really hate to leave him in his crate for 8 hours while I'm at work, so I sometimes ask them to let him out so he can stretch a little and get a chance to relieve himself.
Last time they did it, I came home to a matress soaked in pee, and my roommates reporting that he had attacked them. In reality, it was because they had a cat being carried around my roommates wife (who is only about 3 feet tall) in the same room as Pudges...but that whole story is in the Puppy Forum under "When Puppies Attack" if you haven't read it.
Anyways, last time I wasn't too upset because my mattress was an old piece of crap hand me down that I was about to get rid of...plus I figured they learned their lesson. I did come home a few times after that and found Pudge simply locked in my room and not in his crate, but he didn't pee on anything, so I politely reminded them he should be in his crate, or at least have access to another area that he can pee (like the tiled/cement area of my basement) or anywhere that doesn't result in my having to sleep in urine!
So today I asked them one favor with these simple instructions
A. Let him outside so he can pee and get a little excercise
B. Put him back in crate or just leave him outside.
This was approximately 2 hours before I got off work.
So I come home and what do I find? Pudge is loose in my room! His water bowl is completely full of water, is food dish is half-way full of water, there is water spilled on the floor AND my mattess and sheets soaked with pee and one raisin sized dung is rolling around in the Mix! WTH!!!
I don't understand what's wrong with these guys! I mean, I don't have much common sense myself, but anyone knows that when you drink a lot of water, your going to have to go pee! I've told them before that they can't leave Pudge locked in my room, since last time he peed on my mattress, but they still do it again.
Anyways, at this point I sorta lost it because my new mattress that I bought less than a week ago had already been soiled and my roommates should have known better. I went upstairs to give them a piece of my mind and they claimed they put him in the cage but "It must not have locked all the way"
C'mon guys, how hard is it to lock a dog crate? It's a simply sliding latch! Just leave him outside if it's that difficult to figure out!
Last but not least, I can't figure out how he got onto my bed. It's about 3 feet off the ground and it seems like it would be tough for him to climb up on..and if they put him in his crate, why was his food and water dish outside of the crate? I Know he didn't drag them out himself!..
So now I'm waiting for my mattress to dry after I washed it with Pet stain remover and some bleach water, hoping to remove the stains.
I feel sorry for Pudges cuz he was around when I kinda lost it and told my roommates off, and I think he was a little nervous because of my anger. So I'm going to play with him now and tell him it wasn't his fault..poor guy probably drank the human equivalent of a gallon of water in less than 2 hours
P.s.
While I'm on a rant, I'll list some other things that my roommates have done that I don't approve of involving my puppy.
1. Let go of his leash so he could visit a Pitbull in a neighbor's yard. Fortunately the Pit bull was friendly and they became "friends" but the fact they just let go of the leash and let him walk up to a strange dog chained up in it's own territory is just not smart!
2. I ask them to let him out to pee on another occasion and told them feeding/walking was optional. I really stressed I just wanted him to have the chance to relieve himself. So what do they do? They just give him food because they ran out of time!! Like taking him out to pee takes that much longer..
