Today, I've just moved into a new apartment. It's also the day my big baby of a dog stepped on a rock and began yelping when I tried to touch his paw. He "suddenly" felt better after I carried him inside. Now everyone thinks I'm beating my dog. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home on crutches. My dog was immediately afraid of them, and came running towards me, growling and barking. She ran right into me, knocking me over. FML
Today, my dog started limping as we were walking home. I thought she'd hurt herself, so I picked her up and carried her home. Once we arrived, I put her down, at which point she ran around and played as if nothing had happened. I fell for my lazy dog's plan to get me to carry her home. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandpa. He has an easily excited dog, who barreled into my freshly broken knee. I felt my knee move out of place again. The dog chipped a tooth. We went to the vet first. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet. Wanting to seem like a responsible owner, I lifted him onto the exam table. My back then cracked loudly, I dropped him, and he ran straight into a trash can. The vet sighed and asked, “Rough day for both of you?” FML
Today, I accidentally rammed my finger into my desk, and it felt like I'd broken it. Yelping in pain, I fell over onto my bed, missed it, and landed on the floor. My dog saw this as a good opportunity to climb on top of me and start humping. FML
Today, I realized I was late for work, so I rushed out of bed only to accidentally step onto my dog which then promptly bit my leg and now I'm in the ER. FML
Today, my roommate and I were talking about how much better my dog has gotten at not peeing in the house, and how I was doing better at not losing my temper when he did. A few hours after this conversation, the dog pissed all over the floor and I screamed so loudly that now my throat hurts. FML
Today, after I got off work, as I walked into the house, I noticed something running across the floor towards me and out of complete terror I kicked it halfway across my living room, not knowing what it was. Turns out it was my roommate's new puppy. FML
Today, I tripped over a dog and broke my elbow. I'm stuck dogsitting for the rest of the weekend and he won't stop jumping up at my broken arm. FML
Today, my dog had diarrhea in his cage. While I was carrying his dirty bed downstairs to the washer, he ran by and tripped me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did someone confront you for beating your dog? Or did you just see them looking at you and assumed they were judging you? I do not think dog brutality is so common that people would see a crying dog and assume he was beaten.

did you try explaining to people what happened or just assume that they wouldn't listen?

Perhaps his neighbours have been giving him dirty looks since the incident.

Ask most people wouldn't beat a dog and then tenderly carrying it inside.

Unfortunately, we now live in a time where people believe things like crates or having a large dog in an apartment or anything but full on positive reinforcement training is cruel. My apartment was bigger than my current house and had a fenced yard, but people thought it was cruel for me to have my big dogs there, but not here despite the fact that they get out EVERY day no matter where we live so we can all get some exercise. My mom came to visit and thought I was so hard on my dogs because I expect them to listen. I love my boys and they are intact, high energy dogs so I do work with them extensively to make sure they are good representatives of the species and their breeds. They are spoiled absolutely rotten and, in fact, my 60 lb hairless Xolo is sitting next to me on our leather couch with a cashmere blanket down so the dang princess doesn't have to touch the cold leather, but I am still too hard on my dogs, I guess. People typically tell me that if they have to come back as a dog, they want to be one of mine, but there are softies out there who think I rule with an iron fist. The reality is that these dogs, especially the Xolo, have me wrapped around their paws.

Actually in this country people jump right to "you beating that dog!!???" One of the biggest reality shows right now is how there are millions of abused dogs and people have always been more concerned with people beating their dogs than their kids. "I heard whining was that the dog" "Nope thy were just beating the neighbor kid" "Oh well that's alright"

My dog stubbed his toe and was crying like a baby before. I'm sure if you explained people would understand.

I'm sure it's in your head. Dogs yelp and cry all the time. Unless they saw you doing something, I doubt that was their first assumption. And if I see someone tenderly carrying their dog inside after it yelps, I'm going to assume that's a good, loving owner. Of course, I'm the mom of a 90 lbs Alaskan Malamute so I automatically assume your dog is huge. I guess it wouldn't be uncommon for someone to carry in one or those tiny, toy dogs, good doggy parent or not.

it's okay my German Shepherd screams bloody murder if you try to make him sit when he thinks he will get to ride in the car. I've had neighbors threaten to call ASPCA for abuse. At training last week we had multiple people, including the owner, walk out and see if someone was killing a dog because he didn't want to listen to the trainer. it's SUPER fun. lol
