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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, I paid $5000 for a new fence in my backyard for my dogs. My dog escaped three hours after the contractor finished the fence. 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 went to a pet store to adopt a dog. I got a medium sized lab, a dog crate, and a few toys, then put his crate in the back of my truck and the dog in his crate. On the way home I realized I forgot dog bowls and some dog food. I went back, and when I got back out to my truck, my dog was gone. My stereo too. FML
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
Today, my parents finally fulfilled my childhood dream and got a puppy, after years of me nagging at them. The only downside is that I no longer live at home and he's not mine. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park. While chatting with another dog owner, my dog managed to steal their sandwich and ran off with it. I had to chase my sandwich-thieving dog through the entire park. FML
Today, I went to the local pet store to purchase a large dog bed so my dog wouldn't sleep in mine. After I got home and set up her bed, I realized I forgot to buy dog treats. When I came home again, her new bed was torn to shreds, and she was still sleeping on my bed. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, I finally found the girl of my dreams, she's smart, loyal, energetic and adorable. There's one problem. She's a Golden Retreiver. FML

Why didn't you tie it up? If it was a new pet, you don't know how it's going to react. YDI for not making sure it was secure!

That's also why you adopt dogs for much cheaper. I also hope you never have kids if you can't take care of a dog.

#17 how healthy was the golden retriever you got for $40????? HUH??? You probably will spend more than $1400 on medical bills!! And, OP, good job, i can see you really wanted that dog!! I'm sorry but that is why there are so many dogs on the streets with no homes. And unless you had a really bad temperament golden or didn't spend enough time checking it out for medical problems and temperament issues, then there is no reason it would have run away. Goldens are usually VERYY good dogs!

Today, I bought a dog and then immediately abandoned it to have lunch with a friend because I'm a selfish ass. The dog probably ran away to someone who has a soul. If you can't handle the responsibility of a pet...don't get one. It's not fair to the animal.

are you a ******* idiot. deciding to get a dog is one step in the process. actually knowing how to care for it is another and you obviously didn't know how to care for it, since you left it outside while you weren't at the house. in some states (like mine) you could go to jail for neglect of your animal, which you should, you retard.

YDI for buying a fricking $1400 dog instead of saving one's life at the pound.

There isn't anything wrong with leaving dogs outside. However~ you still deserve it, for spending $1400 on a dog and for not getting your dog microchipped. Should have gone to the pound.

There isn't much wrong with leaving a dog outside (although it being a NEW dog, you should have kept an eye on it to see if it would try to run away or not) - but you still deserve it for dropping that much money on a dog and not getting it microchipped. You really should have gone to an animal rescue, to adopt a dog.
