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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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!

You buy a dog and then just ditch it, but don't tie it up? Way to be. YDI. I hope the dog is okay somewhere.

YDI for: #1... Getting a puppy from a breeder and not a shelter #2... Leaving your brand new puppy, who you JUST got today, home alone for hours #3... Leaving a dog in a backyard for hours. BRING HIM IN THE HOUSE!!!!! wtf is wrong with you??? Are you ******* kidding??? Any responsible breeder would have made sure you were a RESPONSIBLE pet owner!

You know you can get those for like $100 at a rescue or the pound? Keep looking, though. My roommates dog got out for 11 days in a strange town and we found him this morning.

ok first of all, this totally sucks and I feel for you.... I would be devastated if my dog got stolen... buuuut.... what were you thinking leaving a puppy (or any dog really) outside for hours when you weren't home?! Seriously.

Who pays $1400 for a dog? Next time go to the humane society and get one for free. Plus you're probably saving the dog's life.

YDI, animals should not be bought and sold as commodities.

I KINDA feel for you, but not really. If you just got your puppy, it's not even going to have all of the shots it needs that means it can BE outside... plus, rather than take the time to bond properly with it, you abandoned it outside in unfamiliar territory for lunch. You aren't responsible enough to have another life depend of you.
