So I think my room mate just bought a dog

I know she's been wanting a puppy for awhile, and today while on a conference call at work I got a text message saying "I bought a dog."

I replied with "huh?"

To which she answered "You know, with ears and a tail."

The last message we've exchanged was me saying "A living, breathing, pissing dog?"

The idea of a puppy pissing all over the carpet and chewing on my video game controllers does not appeal to me. I don't like the idea of having to keep my bedroom door shut all the time to keep the dog out, because our bedrooms get hot, and the AC pumps mainly into the living room, so the only way to keep cool is to have our doors open. I already put up with a gerbil she got a month ago; it chews loudly on its cage all night long.

So, uh, wtf now?

***UPDATE***

She responded with a text message saying "Blue Heeler/Border Collie" mix, which indicates what kind of dog I should expect, but not whether or not she actually got it.

A mutual friend of ours told me she was talking about getting a dog lately for company because I ended up with a new girlfriend about a month ago, and consequently have been out a lot more. The same friend also told me that the room mate was annoyed with me for buying a new LCD TV and putting it in my room, instead of the living room (which currently has my 27" 4 year old Sony SDTV that we rarely use). Either way, if this dog is in revenge for something, that's pretty stupid.

Pics of the puppy will be posted if it exists when I get home (4:30 PM PST).

are you fucking retarded?

she tells you she got a dog but you're still wondering if she got one??? I bet your life is hell, always wondering if what someone tells you is true.

Coworker: "ZOMG!!! the building is on fire!Its going to collapse in 30 seconds!!!"
kyzen: "huh?"
coworker: "you know, with smoke and red flames..."
kyzen: "a hot, burning, billowing smoke kind of fire?"
coworker: "ok...um...i'm out of here! have fun!"
kyzen: "ok, well i guess i'll wait until it starts to collapse on me or i start to get 3rd degree burns before i really know."

It's been suggested by plenty of people that she's just doing this to see how I'd react. I'm trying to be optimistic here 😛

Eh, I bought it for gaming, she gets mad when I'm watching movies in the living room past 11 PM, I didn't think she'd enjoy explosions and gunshots till 3 AM.

It's also worth pointing out that it's only a 32", not anything huge.
 
My roommate's dog nearly yanked my HDTV off my desk getting caught in the cables. Dogs + electronics = disaster.

Just keep the thing (if it's there) away from all your stuff.

I fucking hate it when the roomie just one day decides to get a dog. I had to move my cat out of the house when my rommie got her dog. No fucking way am I trusting a 2 year old Shepard / pit mix from the pound.

If there is a dog, at least it's a puppy, who, like all puppies, will promptly chew through all of your cables and pee in your computer. Have fun!

He paid for it, he can do whatever the frack he wants with it.
 
I know a few floor installers. And they've always told me that it does not matter how well trained the dogs are. There is always at least one spot within the house that the dog will pee on.

seriously. I had a 50in HDTV in the living room that me and my roommate shared and I felt iw as being way generous. If he buys it and wants it in his room then thats what he gets to do.

Just depends on whether you're roommate is also your friend. I'd share my HDTV with a friend, I'd keep it to myself if we just shared a living space.

I wouldn't have a hissy fit, but it would make me think twice about how much of a friend he really was.
