Today, my 8-month-old dog decided to decorate the living room by tearing apart a rented college textbook, the reference guide that went with it, and part of a color therapy book. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my dog tore up a single book from the dozens within his reach. That book was titled "How to Train Your Dog". FML
Today, my husband left our untrained puppy out of its kennel when he left for work. I got home and all of the baby books my parents just bought for us that were on the coffee table in a backpack were completely destroyed, along with the bag, and parts of our wall. FML
Today, my little Pomeranian dog got onto the kitchen bench by jumping onto the washing basket, the bookcase, and over the window sill, and ate my daughter's birthday cake while I was in the bathroom. FML
Today, I came home to find that my dog had destroyed my couch. The worst part? He buried his plastic toy bone inside the wreckage, so he clearly thinks this is his new personal sandbox play pit spot. I'm afraid to get a new couch and put it in the same place. FML
Today, my girlfriend's 2lb chihuahua ate 500 dollars worth of textbook. FML
Today, I got a brand new couch. My husband told me to keep our puppy off of it so we could keep it nice. She jumped on it, and as I picked her up to put her back on the floor, her claws dragged across it and ripped two of the cushions. FML
Today, I left the living room for 3 minutes to make a coffee. When I went back, my 4-year old had found a permanent marker, God knows where, since I don't own a permanent marker. She'd then drawn on her face, the carpet, wall, sofa, both dogs and as an added bonus the TV screen. FML
Today, my dog got his head stuck in a container, panicked, and shat himself all over the living room. FML
Today, after spending hours wrapping the presents for Christmas, I came back into the room to find that my dog had lost his toy, knocked over all the presents, and was frantically ripping at everything to find it. FML
Today, I came home to find my dog had learned how to open our fridge. He ate the birthday cake I was saving for a friend's surprise party, and to add insult to injury, he'd also apparently thrown the barely digested cake up all over my bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

One of those rare cases where the dog actually did eat the homework.

45, gtfo. 43, at 6 months I couldn't leave my shepherd/rott mix home alone without being crated. Between the loooong process of housebreaking, and the fact I knew he'd get into everything he could, it wasn't worth the risk. Kudos for your dog being that great at a young age, but not every dog is the same. Mine's two and it's only been in the last few months that I've trusted him uncrated in my house when I'm gone. And I still have to make sure he doesn't have access to cat food bowls or trash cans. He won't touch them if I'm there but the second I leave he's all over that shit.

I've worked my ass off with my pup. But I wouldn't trust him home alone. Miniature Pinschers are very stubborn, plus his separation anxiety makes him destructive with not only toys, but also carpeting. I hope by a year I can nip the rest of his quirks out

YDI for leaving anything of value where a puppy can get to it.

always always always puppy proof the house. ... I have two dogs and learnt this early on with the first one. I am lucky I don't have chewers or destroyers!!

YDI for leaving important items around a destructive puppy...but also FYL because you can never predict what item a dog is going to pick on

My sister's dog was *exactly* like that. Her previous owners left her in a crate all day just sitting in her own filth and was (is) also very skittish around people. You can still crate train her. The key is to make sure she knows you're coming back and that it's a place for good things like food and toys and pets, and that it's fairly spacious so she can stand and walk a bit. Never ever ever ever for punishment. Good luck whichever way you decide to handle it. Glad there are people like you in the world to balance out the assholes who don't know how to treat animals. :)

I love dogs! I don't own one but I do know they're a hand full. Especially as a pup. I hope the textbooks aren't a hassle to replace but on the plus side, your dog is okay and unharmed right? :)

What do the number of "*****" on the profiles mean?
