Lady Tells Roommates to Buy Food for Her 120-Pound Dog After They Overfed Him
A 28-year-old woman thought she had a simple roommate problem, until her 120-pound dog became the center of it. What started as a question about food costs turned into a messy argument about who was actually responsible for feeding him.
She lives with three male roommates, and while she handles the dog’s meals every morning and evening, she noticed his food was disappearing faster than usual. After confronting them, she says they admitted they had been giving him extra food because he acted hungry, which only made things more complicated.
Now the roommates are at odds, the dog is still begging, and the whole apartment is stuck in the middle of it. Read on.
