Today, my friends thought it would be hilarious to show me Marley and Me the day right after I had to put down my dog. I had my dog for 11 years. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a job interview. Everything was going well until I noticed a picture of a dog hanging on the wall, which reminded me of the ending of Marley and Me. I started crying and had to be escorted out. FML
Today, while I was at work, I was on the verge of tears. My coworker asked what was wrong and I explained that I recently had to put my dog down. He then replied, "Cool story, bro. Tell it again." FML
Today, I saw a YouTube video of the cutest, sweetest old dog. When I checked the channel for more videos of this dog, I discovered that he died last month. Day ruined. FML
Today, my dog showed me her latest kill. Too bad it was the stuffed animals my dead grandmother had given me as a child that had a lot of sentimental value to me. FML
Today, my 12 year-old dog died. My boyfriend's attempts to comfort me involved him muttering, "At least she knows how to play dead now." FML
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML
Today, I knew it was going to be a fun day when I woke up to find that my kids' new puppy had died in the night. FML
Today, my best friend decided to get herself a new puppy. My dog passed away last week. She named it the same name and got the same breed as mine was. She sees nothing wrong and can’t understand why I’m upset. In fact, she tells me to “stop being a Debbie Downer.” FML
Today, I was playing with my dog, teasing her, to cheer myself up after being dumped by my girlfriend. My dog bit me hard and I had to go to hospital. The dog has to be put down. FML
Today, for National Pet Day, we had a pet show and tell at work. A colleague of mine showed us a picture of her lemon tree. I remember she had a dog and wondered why she didn’t bring him, so I asked why didn’t she show her dog. Turns out he passed away a month ago. She burst into tears and ran off. FML

I certainly hope you don't see those people as your "friends" anymore. I'm sorry OP, my doggy was 11 when we put him down over a year ago and I still miss him terribly. But remember, all dogs go to heaven :]

People, you don't know why they showed him the movie. This person is grieving over the loss of a dog but when you get a pet you have to come to terms with the fact it won't outlive you, unless you have a turtle or are old. A dog is a great pet but they are just that, an animal that will never fully understand the way of life humans live. Elephants go off into the wild--away from people--when they die. Sure, animals mourn and animals feel a lot more than people give them credit for, but in the end a dog understands it will die and does not spend the rest of its days in tears. It lives with dignity and then it dies. The friends might have shown the movie to Op because it was a similar situation. I read books about people who go through the same things I do because it helps to know you aren't alone. Marley and Me (I have seen the movie) is not depressing, it is realistic. The dog lived a long and happy life and then was put out of its misery. It happens. Can't you just accept the death as part of its life and celebrate its life more than alienate yourself from your friends because you misunderstood what they were trying to do?

The only reason I didnt dislike your comment is because it's so freaking long that I can't. You obviously have never lost a dog before. It is an extremely sad thing and OPs friends were just being jerks about it.

It's IMPOSSIBLE not to get attached to your animal, especially if you take care of it. You're dog is the first thing you see when you wake up and the last thing you see when you go to sleep. You have to feed and walk them every day and they are always there when you are feeling down to cheer you up.
