my best friend has 2 big dogs. everytime i go round their house, the dogs come and sniff my crotch, its gross and disgusting. the house STINKS of dog, and their mum is OBSESSED with dogs, always pointing out how cute dogs on the street are when we are out together. there was one incident when we had a bowl of grapes and one of the dogs LICKED the grapes, my friend then said that they would wash them so we could eat them. ew. im not eating grapes that dogs have licked. i feel pressured to pet the dogs every time i am around that house. the dogs jump up at me, slobbering all over me and all i can do is pet them as both my friend and their mum look at me smiling as if the dog 'likes me' or is 'giving me kisses'
Yes they are
They can doe from one grape 🍇
She should wash her dogs; ignore the dogs don’t pet (pets are positive reinforcement, they will continue doing stuff you don’t want but see the pets as a good thing); the grape thing is just nasty she should have got new grapes tbh. Also she should just crate her dogs when you are over.
Also; washing/bathing should happen every week or every other week.
If your friend can't respect your desire to not have the dog invading your space he isn't actually your friend. I've had a experience like this, that's the painful truth.
You’re very wise not to eat those grapes. 🍇. Dogs lick buttholes and reproductive areas. Nuff said.
You shouldn’t feel obligated to pet them or anything if you’re uncomfortable. Pretending to like something you don’t is worse as it’s inauthentic which can be manipulative. Being a doormat/people pleasing and not being honest or yourself isn’t healthy for you. If your friends don’t respect your boundaries you should have a conversation about the friendship. Real friends are capable of disagreeing while still respecting one another’s boundaries and feelings.
Come to my place @OP
It’s dog & pet free.
We could play some board games , have a drink or whatever ya know.
I’m in!
If you’re ever in TX, USA hit me up
It’s a plan!
I have no shame anymore. I have multiple friends who have dogs, and I shamelessly, state “I do not like dogs” whenever I feel they want me to pet or engage with their dog. I do not care. That is your disgusting investment not mine.
Have you told them how you feel? Do it in a nice way. Don't just say "I think your dogs nasty!" Or something like that. If they don't like that then they are not a good friend.
I have a crazy friend who lives far away. One day, my family was visiting her and her husband. They have two Old English Sheepdogs. They jumped on my mother’s lap and romped. We managed to get them off of her while she screamed. My crazy friend denied it, saying that her dogs would never do something like jump on someone. They sniffed my crotch another time when my friend was visiting us. Such horrible beasts!
Don't go to that house. Have him come to yours. And while you're at it, give some consideration to whether a "best friend" would allow those things to happen. I can't speak for you, but if it were me I'd look for a new friend if it happened more than once.
ewww... well I would never pretend anything like liking something/someone i didnt! I would not go over to that persons house at all. Just have them come to your place or hang out in public (dog free).
I wounder who taught them to sniff crotch and give kisses...
Next time you go there, the dog sticks his nose under your crotch, push the dog’s head down hard. He wont do that next time. I do that with friend’s or family’s dogs when they do it, they dont do that again. You dont have to like their dog. If you dont like their dog and you know there will be dogs, dont go there.

Your friend is in the wrong for even letting their dogs slobber on grapes. Aren't grapes toxic for dogs?
