A person I know (a bit of a **** but she's an old mate so what can you do?) has got a terrier (like a Jack Russell but not, slightly taller cant remember the make) puppy. She regularly goes out (work etc) and leaves it locked in a dog cage for several hours at a time on the basis that she is worried it may chew stuff. She's only had it three weeks and is already asking my wife to take it out for walks etc when she walks ours. My wife's definition of a walk is an hour in the woods every day + various shorter walks in between, hers is 10 minutes round the block on the lead so it can have a poo. I appreciate it's a pup and easily tired but it's already too much hassle for her to treat it and train it properly.
She really shouldn't have a dog as it's just not her bag IMHO, how can I get this over to her without being too rude?
