Today, I went on a run with the family dog. I returned home to three missed calls and a hysterical voicemail from my dad. Why? The dog was gone. Not me, his 15 year-old daughter, the dog. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a call about my dog who went missing a week ago. The guy who called said "We have your dog, but you aren't getting her back." Then he hung up. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, my dog ran away. I looked for him for 5 hours, and when I came back home, he was waiting for me at the door. FML

Today, I was taking out the trash and I came upon a bill from a veterinary hospital. It was for $50 and it was a bill to put my dog down. My Dad said my dog was missing and I put hundreds of signs around the city. FML
Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML

Today, my dad called my by the family dog's name, and stared at me blankly as if struggling to remember my name when I was annoyed. FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML

But, if you ask me, it's not weird if the 15 year old is not home - but it sure is strange if the dog isn't!

Well, now you know how much you really mean to your dad. Tough break, kid.

OP - he probably thought you went out with friends. My guess is you typically disappear with your friends and eventually return, so he wasn't too concerned because he was used to it. The dog, on the other hand, doesn't just habitually disappear which is why he was worried.

well usually a child starts to become independent at that age so it's not surprising that he was more freaked out about the dog. I would be too.

Gosh, what's your IQ, girl? He CALLED you. On your phone. So as soon as you pick up and answer with a normal voice, he knows you are OK. The dog, on the other end, could be anywhere.

...Three missed calls and a hysterical voice mail doesn't tell me she picked up the phone.

yeah it makes sense I mean the dog coulda ran off and when I was 15 I'd just take off whenever your 15 not a baby they know you'll be back
