You can always poison the dog...

 

antifreeze works well for that

 

So does gasoline and a cigarette

 

Either way I don't plan on doing harm to anything. I do like the boxer/pit; she's a great pet, she's just not a great pet to have around other pets.

Actually just got back from chilling on the deck... he came out (after walking the boxer/pit) and seemed to actually act... normal. Said he'd posted fliers for the dog at Petsmart. The only thing that bugged me was he didn't even look at my girlfriend during the 20-minute conversation, much less ask how she and the puppy were doing. I think everything will go a little smoother than anticipated, at least until the subject of vet bills comes up. Personally, I'm going to try to let that discussion stay between my girlfriend and roommate #1 provided he doesn't start into insults or anything of the nature.

At any rate it seems like things are a little more normal.

 

Maybe its time to for one of you guys to move out after the 10 months is up. He is definitely not a room mate that you would want.

I don't know what to say about the dog situation. How's the puppy doing now? Maybe have a talk with the room mate to come to a settlement with the vet bill. I don't think you should be taking care of the bill since it was his dog that attacked. If that dog has a history of not being good around other animals maybe its not a good idea to bring the dog into the house. I guess either come to the agreement that either he takes care of 100% of the vet bill or if you are generous then at least 50% of the bill.

If he doesn't want to pay for it then take him to small claims court. I don't know how close of a friend he is to you so i don't know if its worth losing a friend over a vet bill is to you. I don't know what else you can do.

Hope the puppy heals soon and is doing well. good luck with the situation

 

The puppy's doing pretty good now... the only problem is that she's a puppy so she's got a lot of energy and keeps trying to run around and we're worried about her tearing some of the stitches out.

As far as the 10 months being up, he's already expressed interest in moving out, so I have a feeling that's what's going to happen. Honestly, he's not a bad guy in moderation, he just apparently has problems living with people (he did the whole music blasting thing in the old apartment but I overlooked it as it wasn't worth getting upset about).

Basically, the plan for vet bills right now is that my girlfriend is going to talk to him soon-ish (probably next week) to see if they can reach an agreement. Worst comes to worst, she's prepared to take him to small claims court (she's already looked into it). Like I said, I'm going to let her deal with what's going on. I actually ended up paying about half the current vet bill and don't really care if I see that money again; to me, money isn't worth losing a friendship.

 

it use to, not anymore, its eco friendly now


i say man the *** up and put the fear in his bitch ***. i wouldnt spend 800$ in a damn dog, i would have put it to sleep then put his dog to sleep.
no pets .... no problems....

 

So if one of your children needed expensive surgery you'd get rid of the child? Pets, children, same difference in my opinion; you need to be responsible for them.

And again, I need to put up with the guy for another 10 months. I really don't feel like making that 10 months any more difficult than it has to be.

 

#17^^ as much as i agree with that, the problem here isnt really the dog. that is just 1 situation of many (its sounds that way). Here is the deal (my 2cents) there are many ways to keep roommates at bay....(I had many after highschool and in college) say what you mean, think before you speak but tell him. Sit down have a beer or two (not 12) and put it out there, chances are you will find the problem(the real problem) if he is a dick, find someone to take your spot and leave, or tell him he should find another place to live and cover his half of the rent for a month till you find another person. the only way a problem gets solved it by saying something, if you say nothing, nothing will happen. Don't get all hard *** on him but say it like it is. good luck

 

sounds to me like your roomate is the dominate one of your relationship...........
