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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 adopted a dog from the local shelter. I put the dog in the car and he was shedding everywhere, but I was ok with that because he was my dog. As I pulled into the parking lot, the dog began to poop in the backseat of my car. When I got him out of the car, he ran off. $100 for him to poop and run away. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
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
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML
Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML
Today, our chocolate Labrador ran away. My dad adopted it because he really wanted a hunting dog, promising he'd be in charge of its training and feeding. I ended up getting saddled with that instead. The dog was so hyper it was untrainable, and dad blamed me when it burst out of its kennel and bolted into the night. FML
Today, I got home only to discover my dog was missing. After spending ages roaming the freezing streets calling his name, I returned to find him stuck behind the couch with my chewed-up new shoes in his muzzle. FML

Your dog probably stole that shit and ran, those labs are pretty sketchy.

It wasn't that someone stole his dog and his stereo out of his car...his dog stole the stereo and then GTFO!

Impulse buying is a nono, YDI :(

YDI for getting a pet, if you forget to buy food for him. You made it sound like buying a fancy new toy and then forgetting the most important accessories. It's a 10+ year commitment to a living being of another species, please read few books about behaving and nutrition, and prepare well before getting one.

If you BOUGHT a dog from a pet store, YDI. If you ADOPTED a dog from a SHELTER (or a store like Petsmart which does work with local humane societies), f your life. I volunteer at HSU and see too many people surrender their dogs because they didn't take it seriously and bought a puppy mill dog at a store or side of a street.

So, those dogs from pet stores don't deserve a home just as much as shelter dogs do? I realize that pet stores have dogs from puppy mills like. almost 100% of the time, but, should we really be discriminating against where the dog was obtained?

My boyfriend has worked at three chain pet supply stores (Petsmart, Superpetz and Petco) and none of these facilities sell dogs/cats. HOWEVER, Superpetz and Petco house shelter animals (usually cats, though) so people coming in can see them, play with them, fill out apps. and be contacted about if they can get an animal. It is not as simple as going to a store and picking one up spir of the moment, unless the OP had done this in advance and was just now picking up the dog. Petsmart, on the other hand, hosts adopt-a-thons, where they bring dogs and cats into the stores for people to adopt. I do not think they adopt on the spot though, there might still be an app. process, but I'm not 100% sure. We adopted our cats from a shelter and had a long app. process (complete with references for them to contact) and acceptance before we could get them. They had been abandoned at just 5 weeks old, and now they're happy, spoiled little brats :) It's likely that the OP either filled out an app. in advance and went to pick up the dog today, or bought it from a pet store with puppy mill dogs. If that's the case, then please do not ever, ever do this again. Please look for local shelters and save an abused, abandoned puppy instead of supporting the mills that ruin their lives.
