Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my ex adopted a dog from the dog pound. It was the same dog he made me get rid of while we were still together. FML
Today, I got a puppy. I just found out I can't bring it on the family trip. To save me the trouble of finding a friend to take her in, my mum handed her back to the pound. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML
Today, I adopted a dog from the local shelter. I put the dog in the car and he was shedding everywhere, but I was ok with that because he was my dog. As I pulled into the parking lot, the dog began to poop in the backseat of my car. When I got him out of the car, he ran off. $100 for him to poop and run away. FML
Today, I finally decided to get a dog. I have always been wanting to get one ever since I was a child. I bought a $1,400 Golden Retriever. I went out for lunch a few hours later with a friend, so I left my dog in the backyard. I came back home to a broken fence and no dog. FML
Today, after finally giving up on the search for my lost dog, I realized that my neighbors had found her and are convinced that she was a stray. They won't give her up and are now mad at me for trying to take my own dog back. FML
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML
Today, I brought back the puppy I adopted for my family. I spent months doing all the research on puppy care with two young children, and at least five hundred dollars for the dog, the supplies, toys… the whole lot. Turns out everyone's allergic to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYL indeed....but you should have put those chips they put in dogs to track them down, then all they had to do is scan it and your info would pop out.....

That happened to us before with my cat. The guy who lived behind us kept calling the pound to come and take her, so we kept having to go and get her and pay for her.

... From what I can see, your grasp on the English language is tenuous at best; yet you're calling other people stupid? What is this world coming to?

Umm... you would've had to pay a fee to get the dog back anyway even if there was evidence it was yours.

#4 Maybe if you kept the cat in the house it wouldn't be a problem??

Wow, where do you people live? I'm in TN and have never heard of buying a license for a dog or paying more than $90 to adopt one from a shelter. And they give you back your own dog for free or the cost of caring for it. I would have grabbed the dog and left!

#4 Why didnt you F that person up after the second time. Some guy around here threatened to kill our dogs if he had the chance so we trashed his garden and smashed his windows.

I would have gladly paid for my dog. I consider all my pets members of the family so to get one back after that long missing, I would have just wanted to get him home.

Yep, my dad did the same. That's how it goes, pretty much anywhere you go in the US.
