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!

Why would you pay all that money for a dog when you can adopt one from the pound who would otherwise be killed?

1400 for a dog? I recently got a pure-bred dog from a private breeder for just 200, I don't think this is true. You can usually find golden retrievers(or similar) at shelters, too. Not worth the trouble/extra cash to get it from a breeder. Regardless if this is true YDI

You deserve it for being stupid enough to pay $1,400 for a dog from a breeder when you can SAVE a dog from being killed at a shelter for $50.

Well that was stupid. A) If it's a brand new dog it doesn't know it's surroundings yet. B) With a price tag like $1,400 I'll assume you bought it from a breeder, which means it was probably suffering separation anxiety from it's siblings and mother so OF COURSE it's going to want to run away from the person who leaves it all alone. C) You could've tethered it or better yet crated it inside so that it could learn the new sights and smells of you & your property. D) A new pet is a big commitment/responsibility. If you really HAD to have lunch you could've invited that friend over to your house and not left your dog behind. The dog getting to know you in the first couple of days that you have him/her are the most vital days in your entire relationship. If I were the dog I would've run away too.
