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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, my dog disappeared for an hour. After I'd called her name repeatedly, she crawled out from under my bed, threw up on my feet, and then happily walked out the room. 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
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML
Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. 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 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 got home from work and found my dog missing. When I asked my neighbor if she saw what happened, I saw my dog sleeping on her couch. She tried to say it was hers. FML

I'm so glad you found your dog! And don't feel bad, a few years back, my husband and I had someone break one of our windows and both our cats escaped. He was dog sitting for his parents and I was working the late shift so it wasn't until I got home around midnight that we knew they were missing. I found my cat pretty easily but after an hour we still didn't see his cat. We went inside to get some water and when we went back out she was waiting at the door meowing at us.

So... **** your life because... You found your dog? I mean I get, you wasted five hours but that's just five hours, be thankful you found your dog safe! In fact, be thankful that little fido seems to know how to find his way back home, that's even more of a win. Count your blessings dude!
