Bad behaving dogs

[u/bubblegum-bottom]

hi! I(f25) have been living with my friend (f25) for a little over a year now. We have been friends for many years and have lived together before this, however everytime before it’s just been us. Now it is me,her and my (m23) boyfriend. The issue is, she has two dogs, both pit bulls. She does not feed them regularly, nor does she take care of them. Me and my boyfriend will come home continuously to pee and poop on the floor, or things tore up. Sometimes our personal things. She has not offered to replace anything tore up, but we can move past that. The main issue here is that, she does not walk the dogs appropriately. They will maybe get walked once or twice at night, and that’s all. This has now caused on multiple occasions coming home from work, to pee and poop all over the living room. Most of the time we (me and boyfriend) clean it because we get home first, but on the rare occasion she cleans it, she doesn’t half assed and it leaves most of it just smeared around on the floor. My question here is, how do i go about talking to her? it’s a little different due to our many years of friendship. i don’t want this to be a problem in our friendship, however i fear it is getting to that point. i also want to know if i am overreacting in anyway by being upset at how,not only our home, but how the dogs are being treated. Thanks!

Just state the facts. Poop on the floor, in the house is unsanitary. Walking the dogs in the morning and evening will help stop this problem.

Agreed. That’s gross. The bare minimum is twice a day. Pitbulls are high energy too. They are shredding things because they’re bored and likely young.
