The Bottom Line Even when my son-in-law attempts to do something nice for his family, it turns out to be a nightmare.
This is part two of my Idiot Son-In-Law Write-Off. If you did not read PART I - I think you should. I don’t want you to think I’m being hard on this guy. My little grandson was six years old at the time when he wanted a puppy more than anything in the world. He asked his mother and his idiot father repeatedly for months - he begged me, bribed me and even attempted to blackmail me, the Fartknuckle was pulling out all of the stops. He wanted a dog; it was the most important thing on his little mind. My daughter and I wanted to buy him a dog, but we knew he was too young to take care of one without help. My daughter works all day and her lifeless husband would never take the time to help take care of a pet. In fact when his own son was born he never lifted a finger then. I never once witnessed him change a diaper or help out in any way. So my daughter and I decided a dog was out of the question. After a few months past, one night out of the clear blue, my idiot son-in-law decided it was time to take his first step at being a family man. He told my grandson that a friend of his was forced to give-up his dog because of his wifes allergies. My son-in-law said it was a friendly, medium sized, house trained, mixed breed name Gretch. He said it would be no problem taking care of the dog, that he would handle all of the duties. The idiot said it was a great “coincidence” that this friend of his was giving away a dog at the same time we were looking for one. We were in shock, we thought the idiot forgot that his son wanted a dog; in fact I thought he forgot that he even had a son. But regardless, I was happy for my grandson. He jumped around and screamed the same way I would if I were to win the lottery, he was looking forward to his first day with his new dog and I have to admit, I was just as excited. I was actually looking at my son-in-law in a different light after that day. I even felt something that remotely felt like I was proud of the idiot; after all, he never does anything nice. But in my eyes this was a great first step at being a real father. Several days later my idiot son-in-law drives up to the house with the dog. We were all anticipating a nice puppy, friendly, furry, tail wagging and ears flopping, medium sized well trained animal. What we got was a large shorthaired fully-grown German Shepard. As much as my daughter and I were disappointed, the Fartknucle was as happy as could be. He finally had a dog! So my daughter and I decided to keep quiet about how inappropriate this dog was for a six-year-old boy. The dog looked more like the type of dog that would be the watchdog at a crack house. I just knew it was my job to keep an eye on this Gretch. I figured if my grandson was to get so much as a scratch by this dog, I would take it upon myself to trade this dog in for a little puppy. The first night with the dog Gretch was not bad at all, the animal basically just sniffed around, marked a little territory and just got used to its new surroundings. The following days are when we realized that this dog had major malfunctions. Gretch became extremely close with all of its new family members; he would stay close to my daughter and the Fartknucle every second of the day, he seemed very protective, in fact way too protective. As soon as someone knocked on the door the dog went berserk, barking ferociously and scratching at the door as if he wanted to rip apart whatever was on the other side of the door. On one occasion the old lady that lives next door came by to visit my daughter and Gretch would not allow the woman in the house. The dog barked and snapped at the lady and actual bit a piece of her finger. She was not badly hurt, but it was beginning to be quite obvious that this mongrel could not be around strangers. The first time leaving this dog alone in the house is when everyone realized that this dog had major abandonment issues. I took my grandson out to the park and to a movie while my daughter worked late. We came back home about five hours later and the house was demolished. The dog knocked everything off of the front room shelves, ripped apart all of the garbage, knocked over the kitchen table, crapped on the couch and pissed everywhere. It took my daughter and me two days to get the house back to normal. What did my idiot son-in-law have to say about all of this? “Someone should have been home to let the dog out”. This idiot is only home long enough to eat and sleep, but he feels we should have been home to baby sit this mentally ill animal that he brought home. I reached for the dog’s belt, I had urges to start whipping this idiot across his big vegetated head, but again this type of behavior would be horrible for my grandson, so I took a deep breath and decided not to add to this already miserable situation. The second time leaving Gretch alone, I decided it would be a good idea to leave the dog in the backyard. There is nothing back there he could rip apart and there is sufficient room for the dog to run around. I thought he would have a blast running around the yard, burning off all of its fears and anxieties. He could see people walking near the house and he could bark and “protect” the house all daylong. I figured this to be the perfect solution to calm this overly rambunctious cur. I was wrong, that idea did not work. We realized that Gretch had unbelievable leaping abilities. The second the dog was alone he leapt over the 5 - foot wooden fence. Using the help of his back legs, he lunged over the fence. Gretch just kept leaping and leaping the neighbor’s fences until he was free to run. Some of the neighbor kids took it upon themselves to chase Gretch on their bikes and bring him back home. This was very telling about Gretch, we already knew the mutt could not stand being alone, but we realized that day he was not dangerous to strangers unless he is guarding his family. Remember, when someone knocked on the door, Gretch would give everything it had to rip them apart, yet these teenage boys can grab him by the collar and have no fear of being bitten. This animal only wanted to attack people that threatened its home and the people in it. I could only speculate on what Gretch’s previous home was like. I started to think this dog could have witnessed its previous owner’s death or maybe this animal came from a house filled with violence and abuse. I could only ponder on why this dog had such an overprotective personality. But one thing is for certain, my idiot son-in-law will never tell the truth. This guy is the biggest phony scumbag on earth and what ever story he gives, you can be sure it is falsified. As much trouble as Gretch was giving the adults, my grandson was getting the same amount of enjoyment from Gretch. For some reason we were all extremely confident with allowing this nutty dog around the Fartknucle. My grandson and the dog were inseparable, they would sleep together, play together and I never once felt like he was in danger. The only strange behavior seemed to come when there was a stranger attempting to come in the house or when we left the dog alone. In fact, I don’t think my grandson even noticed that this dog was off - it was his first dog and his new best friend. My daughter left the house on a Sunday to watch my grandson at his karate class, it was a scorching hot day and she wanted to get home as soon as possible without problems. She left the idiot in charge of watching the dog and she knew that the lazy birdbrain will let the dog make a mess. After all having just my son-in-law home is the same as leaving the dog alone. As soon as the class was finished she hustled home. She was gone for less than three hours and was not expecting problems. But when she turned onto her street, she quickly realized that there were major problems. In front of her home were two squad cars. My daughter jumped out of the car and ran to the three police officers standing around the house. She asked what was going on and explained that she lived there. One of the officers asked if she was the owner of a German Shepard. Horrified by the question she quickly thought the worst, she thought the dog bit a child or even worse, possible killed someone. My daughter quickly said yes, pleading for an explanation. The cop said well you no longer have the dog, there was an accident. It turns out the idiot had a taste for a beer and decided the responsibility of watching the dog for three hours was too much pressure. He wanted to walk to his watering hole for a six-pack so he decided to put the dog on a leash and tie the leash to a desk on the back porch. Gretch with its horrible phobia of being alone dragged the desk to the window and leaped out the closed window, breaking the glass and hanging itself. The poor animal just hung there dead. As soon as the police cars pulled away, the idiot came strolling back with his beer, with the same impaired look on his face as always. What do you think the idiot did while the dog dangled from its leash completely stiff, dead for hours, exposed to the scorching hot temperatures, tongue hanging out of its mouth? Do you think he sheltered the young boy from this devastating sight and took care of the situation gracefully and like a man that wants to protect his family from such a horrible vision? Not this idiot…This worthless dunderhead took my little grandson in the backyard to see his dead dog hanging there. He said it was a good lesson for him to see the dead dog. The idiot called it closure. I wanted to show him permanent closure. My grandson is a tough kid, but he still had nightmares for weeks after seeing his new friend hanging from the window. I did not speak to my idiot son-in-law for a month. But I did need to help take my grandson’s mind of this seriously horrible vision in his head. I did not think it was appropriate to buy the little guy another dog right away. I did not want him to think of animals as something that are easily replaced, something that can be thrown away just to buy another one. I wanted my grandson to have time to mourn the death of his new friend Gretch, and I think he did a good job of that. The Bottom Line You would think that this brainless loser would have taken the time to find a decent animal. Instead what he did was take a wild dog with mental problems and brought it into his home. This worthless man has proven that his life is doomed for failure, no matter what he does or how hard he tries, everything he is involved with turns to pain and heartache. Some would argue that it is just bad luck, that the idiot tried to do something nice for his son but it just didn’t work out. I say he did not try at all; he took the easy and lazy way as usual. He should have taken his son to the Anti-Cruelty Society and picked an animal that was fit for a young child. He should have recognized early that this dog was not fit to be around people. Most of all he should not have allowed his six-year-old child to see his new pet hanging dead from the broken window that afternoon. But as many problems and brain impairments as poor Gretch had, my idiot son-in-law has just as many. So hopefully my son-in law will decide to tie something around his neck and take a running leap out of a window. That is my last hope. stockholder If you’re feeling a strong desire to read about more idiots, please check out the following participants in my idiot write-off.
