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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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!

A handy hint for the future: don't buy animals you know ****-all about. Jesus Christ. That's like a 7 year old stealing a baby because they like playing with dollies, then leaving it at the top of the stairs while they go out to play with the girl next door. What are you, retarded?

YDI for paying so much for one of the most easily found breeds.

I agree with the post above. You gave $1,400 to fund puppy mills when there are thousands of amazing homeless dogs who are being killed very day because nobody will go adopt. You deserved to lose your money and your dog.

you don't buy a dog, you adopt a dog! just because you have to pay money for them does not mean you buy them. they aren't toys or objects. and not all pure breds come from puppy mills. there are many responsible and ethical dog breeders! it doesn't matter whether someone adopts from a breeder or a humane society. at least the dog is hopefully being brought to a loving home!

How can you leave a dog out like that? That's awful!

Who in their right mind pays that much for a dog?! Go adopt one instead of supporting that kind of insanity.

Uhh, moral of that: 1. If you get a dog, like it don't leave it at home the day you get it. 2. Adopt a dog...They are the ones that actually need homes and oh wow...only 100$

Wow... 1) $1400 is a crazy amount for a pet dog as common as a Golden Retriever. He better have been ready to show at that price. 2) $1400 is a stupid amount for any dog, actually. 3) Would you leave a $1400 stereo on your front porch? A dog is no different, except it's got legs to walk itself off. 4) Start out with something simple...like a plant. 5) Next time you get a dog, get a pound puppy. Stop supporting breeders who are bringing expensive dogs into the world while 3 out of 4 dogs at the pound will be killed.

Nice, you bought a dog from an unreputable pet shop that got their dogs from puppymills for a ridiculous price, threw it in the backyard the day you got it with no leash, and forgot about it. YDI.
