You’re saying it’s so bad that you can’t even stand inside...but you’re hedging about reporting it? Come on, man. If they could do better on their own, they would. But they can’t. Even if you go over and clean it up, it’ll go back to what it is now. He needs help. Step up and be the friend he needs you to be and get him help.
Thing is, he isn't being abused. He told me that since his wife died, he just didn't feel like doing anything. Obviously, that includes not cleaning up dog mess. Funny thing is, from the outside of the house, you would never know anything was amiss. Grass is cut, and the mechanicals of the house are ok. It's just the inside. I just don't understand how anyone could deal with it. They could do better on their own, that is what I don't understand. My buddy isn't out of his mind at all. No dementia, etc.
