Animals, Dogs and Weddings: Priorities

Priorities

Today, my father-in-law left my wedding reception because he had to feed the dog. This would have been alright, if he hadn't been absent for nearly two hours. Apparently, just feeding the dog and leaving would have hurt the animal's feelings so he stayed to play with him for a while. FML

Today, my dog played dead just so I would leave him alone. FML

Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML

Today, I went to my father's house to get my dog, since I had left it with him while I was on a business trip. When I got there, my dad said the dog pooped on the floor a few days ago, and so he took him to the pound. FML

Today, my girlfriend came over to talk. She just got back from a small vacation, and she'd asked me to feed her dogs while she was gone, so I did. I even stayed with them at times so they wouldn't get lonely. My girlfriend had come over to break up with me. She didn't do so earlier because she needed her dogs fed. FML

The most important member of the family

Today, my dad and his new wife got their wedding pictures done. Out of over 150 pictures, I was only in one. The family dog was in all of them. In the one picture of me, I was holding the dog's leash while he took a dump. FML

Today, my mother-in-law "borrowed" my dog without asking, to show him off to her friends. My dog is my service animal, and I'm not comfortable leaving the house without him. I have to be at work in an hour, and she's not picking up her phone. FML

Today, I waited on an elderly man whose wife had just left him. After him going on and on about how his dog will love his leftover chicken, I nervously caught a case of verbal diarrhea and uttered, "Well, if there's chicken involved, I'll get on my knees and be your dog." FML

Today, I had to kick my husband's friend out of our house after a week. He left lights on, played video games all day, ate all of our food and laughed when his son hit my dog. He was only invited over for one dinner. FML

Today, my dad and his girlfriend left for a 10-day vacation. They booked an expensive beach-house. I'm an A grade student and just last month, he stopped paying my school fees because he 'couldn't afford it.' Oh, and he's making me feed the dog while he's away. FML

Who does this?

Today, my demented mother-in-law had my dog euthanized while I was on vacation, because he was, "too feral and disorderly." Why? Because he, "peed on the grass." I had that dog for 9 years. Why couldn’t my husband put her in a nursing home instead? FML

You gotta think about the poor dog! Doesn't matter if it's one of the most important days of your life. The dog is top priority

He should have brought the dog back with him! Dogs make everything (including weddings) better.

Maybe he is introverted and large social gatherings are overwhelming for him. He just may have needed a break.

Very much this. I know I have made what may have seemed to be thin excuses on several occasions to remove myself from socially overwhelming situations. (And weddings are one of the worst offenders.)

My FIL did this while he was supposed to be at the hospital. My husband was having a serious surgery and my MIL had BEGGED to be there but she is severely disabled, so he was supposed to be there to take care of her. He ditched the second my husband went into surgery to "let the dog out" and was gone for 4 hours. I had to call him to tell him the surgery was over and I needed to go to my husband, could he please come pick up his wife.

You may find over time, that it is a blessing when your father in law is not around.

My mother and father-in-law left our wedding to "switch shoes." She came back with the same ones. It broke my husbands heart.

My mother in law did the exact same thing, leaving the reception for over an hour and taking in tow her her daughter and her best friend's husband because she needed a lift. The mad thing is that there was no need for it. Her best friend / neighbor's son could have easily done the job but she wouldn't let him although he's very reliable. She and the 2 others missed half of the concert our friends band played for us. I'm still quite peeved over it.

If you wasn't getting married in his back yard, then thats about how much it could possibly take: half an hour one way, half an hour back, an hour to feed and let the dog out for pee-pee/poo-poo.
