On the off chance the dating profile is real, I am offering a prayer of thanks to whatever gods may be that the passing on of genes to a new generation seems extremely unlikely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, say you had a friend with family in a city you wanted to move to, and your friend's family let you & two other friends stay with you while you were looking for a place to live. And say that the family had three dogs, including one old sick St. Bernard.
If you came home from being out and found out that the old sick dog had had a catastrophic poop in the middle of the living room floor, would you:
1. Make an effort to clean it up?
2. Put out a note so the family knew about it?
3. Go into your borrowed room and close the door, leaving the enormous pile of wet dog poop in the middle of the rug, smelling up the house and soaking into the runner?
Your first two answers don't count.
Truthfully, the result would have been the same if these kids (college friends of my niece) were not here, since I was at the theater, but I still think it's pretty poor behavior on the part of three kids who have been staying here rent-free for a week. I'm pretty pissed off.

Our wings are not tired.
You have every right to be pissed.

I just can't imagine walking into a house where there is a pile of dog poop on the floor, and leaving it there for someone else to clean up.
That they've also left their backpacks all over the kitchen is another issue entirely.

Anything other than answer #1 is unacceptable. I'd be sooo pissed, Suela.

AND the three of them just paraded out of the house without even saying hello. Or good-bye. Or anything.
These are upper-middle-class kids with degrees from the very best colleges in the world.

I'm seriously tempted to email my niece and complain. I know damned well she would never behave so.

Have they ever had a dog? I've never owned a dog, and thus never cleaned up dog poop, and I'm not sure what I'd do in their situation.

One of them grew up with three golden retrievers. There isn't a dog-owner on the planet who hasn't had to deal with dog poop at some point.
