Today, my girlfriend broke up with me over the phone, after having left me to look after her dog while she went on a 2-week vacation with her family. Now I have to choose between paying for a kennel for her damn dog or taking care of it every day until she gets back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because her dog "told her to". FML
Today, my girlfriend came over to talk. She just got back from a small vacation, and she'd asked me to feed her dogs while she was gone, so I did. I even stayed with them at times so they wouldn't get lonely. My girlfriend had come over to break up with me. She didn't do so earlier because she needed her dogs fed. FML
Today, my girlfriend canceled our date I've been looking forward to all week because her dog was having puppies. She doesn't have a dog. 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
Today, my fiancé and I broke up, and he won't answer my calls or texts. I don't want him back; he has my dog. FML
Today, it's been 3 weeks since my girlfriend of 5 years stopped answering any calls or texts. I sent her a long email for closure (for me) only to get a response that she's on vacation. I had no idea she was going away and I don't know what I did. Time to get another dog and be done with "love" for good. FML
Today, I texted my girlfriend to tell her that we couldn't hang out because my dog died this morning and we were burying him. She replied that she wasn't going to get stood up by a stupid dog. She then broke up with me. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from a friend's place since she agreed to watch him while I went out of state for Spring Break. I arrived at her apartment. She’s gone and the apartment was vacated. She won’t answer her phone or texts, and vanished from all social media. I’m still making payments on the dog. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because her mom said she would buy her a pug if she did. I got dumped for a dog, and an ugly one for that matter. FML
Today, my wife of seven years told me that she doesn't trust me with dog-sitting her dog while she leaves to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's with her family. She ended up calling someone she "trusts" to take care of her dog while I spend the holidays by myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just take it to one of her closest relatives and tell them they'll have to take care of it until she's back because you're leaving.

I'd have told her she needed to make other arrangements and that if she didn't make any arrangements within the next 24 hours, she would be able to pick her dog up at whatever kennel is close by. when dropping off the dog, put her name and info in the paperwork instead of yours. She'd have to pay the charges so they could release the dog to her.

I can't believe people can be so heartless as to suggest OP to either bring it to an animal shelter or simply leave it at the ex's house without caring for it further. I guess that's why there's all those series on Animal Planet about animal abuse in different states in the US...

How would you like to be left alone and in a house surrounded by your own waste? Don't leave the dog alone to shit in her house. The dog would be upset. It will probably be upset being at a kennel but at least it will get taken care of and won't be alone. Keep it for the 2 weeks or take it to the sh

Wow some replies here make me wonder what humanity is. Anyway take care of the dog. The dog isn't at fault anyway and ask for a pay . See ? everything will be solved.

See what the laws are about ownership of animals in your state. If possible, consider taking steps to get custody of dog. Enjoy new companion who will not break up with you. More seriously, don't take it out on the dog, even if you don't like the dog. Not their fault she was a spiteful brat. To those of you saying to drop the dog off at a shelter, or sell them, or let them out onto the streets... Don't ever have animals or children. You are obviously too spiteful and cruel to take care of them.

Take it to her parents or her friends and tell them it's their problem

I'd have the dog put down. Or tie it to a tree in the front yard and call animal control.
