[quote=Anonymous]I began a position three weeks ago with very nice employers and a wonderful 18 month old little girl.   Their ad said they had dogs - which is no big deal for me as I have nannied for other families with dogs.  During the interview, their two dogs were outside.

So I start the job and the dogs are horrible.  One has diabetes and smells like concentrated urine and they are both horribly behaved.  They trip me every time I put my change in her high chair to get at her food and never leave her or stop begging when she is eating.  They will not be put outside when she is eating - I would have to drag them both by the collar with them spread-eagle on the floor.  They both bark like crazy over everything and ALWAYS wake up my charge.  The house smells and I come home covered in dog hair an there is no piece of furniture that they are not allowed to sit on.  I initially loved the idea of being a nanny in a house with a yard (I've been in apartments) but this is just like an apartment as I cannot let my charge play in her own yard since it is covered in piles of dogshit.  So basically I am commuting for the same situation I could have walked to in the city.

I have asked both MB and DB how to handle the dogs and they have no answers.

So, I do think I need to give my notice.  Here is my question - should I tell my employers why?  I know some people think of their dogs like children and I want no hurt feelings.  [/quote]
