Without a doubt, dogs are adorable to have around but sometimes, they can be a handful. This might be inevitable for pet parents who put on make-up.

Accidents can happen, and occasionally our pets ingest inappropriate items. Most frequently, a poorly locked garbage bin is the route via which dogs gain access to makeup or makeup accessories, such as beauty blenders and brushes.

First and foremost, always take your pet to a qualified veterinarian if you believe they may be in danger but the OP in today's story didn't mind at all as his dog chews things that are mostly "harmless." So let's get to know more about this 9-year-old, 13-pound Brussels Griffon dog named Russ, as the OP describes him as sweet, always happy to see him, and adorably ugly.

So how did this dog become the bone of contention? Well, the OP's girlfriend came to live with him, and she found the dog's attitude toward eating things adorable until it got to her turn.

Turns out Russ really likes lipstick, and the OP's girlfriend's makeup vanity was the go-to. So long story short, Russ has eaten well over $100 worth of lipstick, and the OP has offered to replace them each time, but then the girlfriend got fed up.

Now she's demanding the OP choose between her and the dog. Find out how the whole story unfolded as you keep scrolling down.

Things have gone great with the OP and his girlfriend until...

He's done it so much over the last 8 years

I push in her stool if I see it out, but I can't be everywhere

I've told her what to do to protect her makeup

The reddit thread got over a thousand comments and here are some of them below.

Lipstick and Kleenex can be dangerous

How do you get outsmarted by your dog?

You can't replace eight years of love and friendship

It's very arrogant of her to assume

She's not perfect but any dog can be trained

It's hard but it's worth it

He knows how to use the damn litter box

This redditor fell in love with the dog's faces

You are making excuses for a dog

Take responsibility for Russ's bad behavior

This redditor would consider the GF though

Lipsticks can be dangerous and poisonous

There are absolutely things you can do

It's kind of an open concept bedroom

GF should be able to step right over it

You've been that supportive of her or proactive with the situation

This is a fairly reasonable thing for your girlfriend

He will eat something not so harmless

The relationship has likely run its course

Russ is practically more family than she is

Occasionally, dogs might be cunning enough to get to where you keep your makeup. Regardless of how your dog managed to get a hold of it, your pet may now have ingested something harmful.

But that's not the case here and the OP made it clear that he won't get rid of the dog he's had with him for 8 years over some lipstick that he can replace easily.
