Today, I'm sick of watching my friend's dog while she is on vacation. In four days, the dog has shredded my mattress, peed on my couches, chewed my kitchen chairs, and attacked my dog while she slept. My friend won't answer her phone, but she does update Facebook non-stop. Ten days to go. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came to visit a friend I haven't seen in 3 years for a fun 2 month vacation of you know what. She has 2 more dogs now and soon as I stepped in her place after flying across the country, there were 2 piles if dog crap on the ground. I already want to fly out of here, and this is only day one. FML
Today, I've been assigned to watch my friend's cat while he's away from home. His cat is 22 years-old and very grumpy. Most of my time has been spent making sure she's not dead, and getting attacked when I accidentally interrupt her naps. I've already got a few scratches. This is gonna be a long few days. FML
Today, I got back from a two-week vacation. During my vacation, I had a friend from work watch my puppy. My puppy now likes him more than me, and won't stop whining sadly since he left. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from a friend's place since she agreed to watch him while I went out of state for Spring Break. I arrived at her apartment. She’s gone and the apartment was vacated. She won’t answer her phone or texts, and vanished from all social media. I’m still making payments on the dog. FML
Today, I woke up on the last day of my vacation at the beach to find that my dog had chewed a hole in the wall of my rented house, 2 hours before the owner arrived to check for any damage. FML
Today, a friend came to visit me from across the U.S. We spent the majority of the time she was here standing in the rain, at the dog park 20 miles from my house, so she could "make sure her baby poops on time". Basically, I took time off to watch my friend's dog take 6 craps. FML
Today, I came home from my vacation. My sister had been taking care of my dog and my apartment while I was away. As I walked in, I was greeted by a floor covered in poop and a destroyed couch. FML
Today, I went to the local pet store to purchase a large dog bed so my dog wouldn't sleep in mine. After I got home and set up her bed, I realized I forgot to buy dog treats. When I came home again, her new bed was torn to shreds, and she was still sleeping on my bed. FML
Today, I just got back from a two week vacation. I live with six people and only the dog was happy to see me. FML
Today, I had to buy more supplies for the cat my friend asked me to pet sit for 2 weeks. Her 2-week vacation ended over 3 years ago. FML

It's too cold in PA to humanely set a dog outside for the duration of its stay unless you have a well insulated or heated dog house.

This may be the most sinister yet brilliant idea ever!

Take the pictures of the damaged the dog caused and post it on Facebook, eh?

I'd be dropping at off at doggy daycare for those 10 days if I were you. Make your friend pay you and the daycare.

Seriously, post this on Facebook then see if you get a message. Drop that dog in a kennel while you're at it, if your friend doesn't care about you, why should you care about her.

That dog would be dropped at at the closest shelter as a run away. Let your "friend" find their dog after that.

Too far.

Dogs, especially ones new to an area, need to be watched constantly. If you can't watch it, crate it. If your friend is ignoring you, they don't sound like much of a friend.

Do you have the keys to her place? Leave the dog there and visit twice a day to take care of it. If you don't maybe get the spare from her parents? You should have done a test run with her done for a night before taking on the responsibility. Dogs get anxious when they're in a new place, especially without their owner!

*Test run with her DOG. Why can't I edit anymore? I can't even use this website anymore without it freaking out!

Except dogs also get anxious when left alone for long periods of time. OP's friend should take trips where she can take her dog.

This friend isn't really a friend. She's using you. Document everything. Get video of the dog tearing stuff up if you can or at least pics of damage. Write up a list of stuff dog has torn up, and price to replace. If she won't compensate you for damages, lawyer up! And then say BYEEEE Felicia to her sorry self!

she wouldn't get anything in civil court. all she'd do is ruin her relationship with her friend. She decided to do her friend a favor and take care of the dog. she didn't have to she chose to. it's her fault.

I fail to see how the friend not replying and the dog tearing up furniture is OP's fault.

Her friend has already ruined the relationship.
