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 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!

Jfc. Ydi. You don't leave a puppy outside unsupervised. Even if you are in, they get themselves intro trouble so easily. Mines 5 1/2 months and allowed in the garden by herself now but I would never even consider leaving the house without her securely inside. Use a freaking crate.

Puppies can't break fences. It was probably an adult.

I have no issue with people buying dogs from a responsible breeder. Ie someone who only breeds every couple of years, does all the relevant health checks, does proper checks of the new owners etc. If no-one bred it would only be 7 or so years before it became completely unethical to breed.

Did it have to be pure bred? You don't just leave a dog after you get it. You spend time with it so they get used to you and its new surroundings. It was scared since he was in a new environment. The dog probably ran away.

Why would you leave your dog outside when you are not there????

You should have got a dog from the shelter. Pure breeds are nice, but unless you're gonna show it, get a rescue that looks like the breed you want. Save the pups :)

It happens i had a golden retriever we rescued from a shelter, we got him because he would be put down the next day. he had a lot of problems. but when he was in our yard some one drove down our drive way ppl did it a lot. when we went to see if he was done digging (his favorite thing) he was gone some one stole him. there are some people that take dogs if they think you are miss treating them we couldn't prove they took our max. but we know they took him because he ran away a lot. he had some behavior problems and would chase anything he thought was interesting. i know how you feel.

Don't get another dog.

This is why I prefer puppies. They can't run away, and they have time to get used to you.

You don't leave a dog outside for that long!
