I feel ur pain.
I'm kinda in the same situation.

I rent a room in the basement of my inlaws, Rob & I have to sleep in diff rooms (don't ask).

Well his mother has 2 dogs. One is 6 & the other is 12 or 13.
I had to buy a baby gate to the basement cause I couldn't stand the dogs craping & pissing all over the basement several times a day. These arn't small dogs. one is 40 pounds & the other is 80 pounds. so there is a HUGE mess each time.

I refuse to pick it up or even go near it. I am alergic to dog poo & get quite ill if near it (I like breathing if u know what I mean). Outdoor dog poo is ok, I can kinda handle it better cause of the fresh air.

But down here there is no such thing as fresh air. SO I have a fan that is always blowing out of my room & the tiny window is always opened year round.

When the parents go to sleep they almost never put the dogs out. & the dogs will whine ALL night long if they can't get the gate opened by them selves.

I can put the big one out & don't mind doing it, shes a good girl. But I can't & WILL NOT go near the smaller one. That dog is screwed up in the head. She attacks me for no reason & the bigger dog. & everytime I catch her, to put her outside she pisses EVERYWHERE!!!

I have never layed a hand on that dog when I was here for the first 2 years, nor yelled at her, same with everyone else. But last year I had to kick her hard several times to get her off of me. & Rob had to grab her by the throat to get her off of the big dog & his father. The dog is nuts!! & is getting worse. But since the dog is attacking everyone in the house but the mother, thats ok, shes a good dog.

Well I swear the parents open the gate in the middle of the night for the smaller dog, cause she comes down here & craps everywhere !! there is so much pee in the far side of the basement there is an everlasting puddle 8 feet long & 5 feet wide. its sooo sick!!!!

I'm glad I work all day long, cause the smell down here is sick.

Also the father cleans the "mother's" cat's litter once a month!!! the cat craps in crap, there is no litter left. & when he does change it he always tells me, there it should smell better down there & I alwasy say under my breath, no it wont. u dumped the litter into a pail that'll sit there for a nother month. & the dog crap & piss smells much worse.

I can't afford to leave here yet. But Rob's younger bro might have a sweet job soon & then the 3 of us r outta here & were staying unlisted & no one is gonna know where we live.

there r also many many more problems with the mother (shes psycho & I'm not kidding, she refuses her meds)
