Today, I got my dog back from my aunt. Rather than taking him to an actual groomer, I gave him to my aunt because she needed a few extra bucks. My generosity lost me $35, and gave my dog ticks and a bad haircut. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at my friend's house, when she commented that her dog's fur kept getting tangled because of its length. I reached over to tickle his tummy, felt a big tangled knot and agreed that he needed a good grooming. Then I realized what I'd grabbed wasn't fur. FML
Today, I tried to trim my dog's nails. After about a half hour of barking, biting, and general freaking out, I gave up and decided to pay someone else to do it. I'm a vet, and do this for a living. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, I decided to give my dog a bath. Instead, my dog gave me a bath. FML
Today, I spent $500 buying my lost cat back from a jerk who thought it was his. I get home and my mom tells me that she'd sold it to the same guy for $10 because she thought the cat was ruining my love life. FML
Today, I searched our neighborhood for our lost dog. After screaming at the top of our lungs, driving around in circles, and asking strangers, we realized we took him to the groomers this morning. FML
Today, I was at work when someone came in asking me to brush their pet Shih Tzu. After an hour of vigorously grooming through the multiple knots, I called the owner to collect their dog. When she got here she said, "Oh, did I say brush? I meant shave." FML
Today, I got bitten by my aunt's dog. My brother was holding the leash. He said he didn't pull the dog away from me because he didn't want to rip my shirt. Meanwhile, the dog was biting a penny-sized chunk out of my hip. FML
Today, while I was at work, my boyfriend decided to give my Cocker Spaniel a haircut. I now have the equivalent of an over-sized naked mole rat running around my house. FML
Today, my mom picked up my dog from the groomers. I came home to find a small female terrier on our couch. My dog is a full grown male maltese. What's worse is that it took me a full 20 minutes to convince my mom that she had picked up the wrong dog. FML

The *puts glasses on* thing is overused.

28, I know but it's the first time I beat someone to it.

Well played! It's a bit treacherous to use the "puts sunglasses on" motif, so that makes it all the more entertaining when it's done well. Bravo!

I was complimented by perdix. My life is now complete. (Note: I wasn't being sarcastic.) :D

Well, sometimes groomers can be expensive but others not as much, my mom does it for about 15-20 dollars for wash and groom, and other little tidbits, but op I have to go with YDI on this one :3

Me $35? Are you a pirate?

What? "Lost me 35 dollars" as in, the bad grooming costed him 35 dollars. Not the way you're thinking of.

He could have said "Lost my $35" It makes a lot more sense to me.

But if he said that, he would be referring to his generosity as a thing, that lost his 35 dollars. As in literally.

I have to wonder how the ticks came to be...but honestly op... I totally get wanting to help out a family member, but next time maybe you should stick with a professional groomer!

It was nice that you let her try! But I'd go take your doggie to a vet to remove all the ticks and an actual doggy fur cutter (:

Your dog looks like Bill Gates now? Why would your aunt apply ticks if you didn't ask for them? Usually they are an add-on service like a scalp massage or a happy ending.

You don't get ticks from a hair cut FYI seems you have a bigger problem than just a bad haircut
