Today, my neighbor's 4-year-old daughter came up to me and asked if she could have my dog. When I said no, she started crying so much that her mom came out 5 minutes later and demanded that I give her daughter the dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my neighbor scolded me for "allowing" her son to be bitten by one of my dogs. This would be reasonable, except for the fact that her kid had jumped my fence and tried to steal a rattle out of my daughter's hands. FML
Today, I was on drive-thru where I work. Our policy is that we can give free treats to dogs that come through. A woman came in and I noticed her dog. Without a thought, I grabbed a treat and asked if her dog wanted one. I looked again. The 'dog' was her daughter. FML
Today, after finally giving up on the search for my lost dog, I realized that my neighbors had found her and are convinced that she was a stray. They won't give her up and are now mad at me for trying to take my own dog back. FML
Today, I'm so strapped for cash, I had to send my daughter to play with my neighbor's daughter, both are 5, because she gets fed there. She suddenly came home saying they're not friends anymore, bragging how she hit her and she bled while crying. Why? She bought 2 new toys and gave her one, so they have the same. FML
Today, my manager made me stay at work for an extra four hours, making me miss an urgent specialist appointment I'd scheduled months ago. Why? Because her neighbor's dog was having puppies, and she wanted to go home early and see them. FML
Today, at the mall, I ran into a lost, crying little girl. It was my best friend's daughter. She recognized and clung on to me. As I called her dad, some nosy lady snatched her from me and caused a scene, screaming, "KIDNAPPER!" As I got apprehended, her claim was she heard me say, "If you still want to see her…" FML
Today, I took my dog for a walk. He became friendly with another dog, and I reached down to pet them both. Suddenly, an old woman ran up to me and whacked me with her cane repeatedly. Apparently, her previous dog had been kidnapped by a woman who looked a lot like me. FML
Today, I was out walking my dog, when a lady called out to me asking, “Is that a boy or a girl?” Assuming she meant the dog, I told her that he was a boy. When I turned away, I heard her say to her kid, “I was talking about the person walking the dog, but whatever,” then audibly laughing. FML
Today, I went to let my dog inside because she was barking. I saw my neighbour standing at my fence, screaming that she was going to kill my dog with a shovel for barking at her. My dog was only doing it because my neighbor was putting her trash in my garbage bin. This isn't a new thing. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML

Wow, what a 'bitch'

Don't ever let that dog go unsupervised. You can never be too sure how far some people are willing to go to get what they want.

Or get the dog chipped immediately, so if it is stolen, OP can prove ownership

One of the dogs in my neighborhood used too escape from her yard amid come visit my dog. One time I looked into my yard to see the dog being chased by a little girl. I went or and Angel happily ran over to me. The kid claimed that Angel wad her dog, so I said let's go talk to your parents thinking they would correct their child . They also claimed the dog was theirs but couldn't tell me her name or breed . I called animal control and they scanned her microchip and returned get too the rightful owner.

Exactly 36. And so many "likes". ??

I think it's trying to communicate.

After some deciphering, I figured it out: a stray/loose dog would often come and play with OP's dog. One day, a little girl claimed that the loose dog was hers. OP talked to the girl's parents to confirm (or deny) that it was indeed their dog, and they claimed it was. However, the parents didn't know the dog's breed or name. OP took it to a vet and returned it to the rightful owner. Synopsis: parents and child tried to steal a dog that wasn't theirs. The end.

the person that the dog ran to knew who the owner was and knew the girl and her mom were trying to steal the dog. in her own way she called them on it and caught them in a lie, publicly humiliating them in front of the ACO in the process. in the future, at least they will know where to go first if an animal is missing.

Demand she has a late abortion.

those parents need parenting. lol

The mom is the kind of parent who wonders why her child is unmanagable when the child is older. Probably blames anyone except her own shitty parenting. OP, watch your dog, the mom sounds deranged enough to steal the dog.

Demand the mom to go **** herself

Tell her to **** off

Some people view pets as mere possessions and don't grasp the concept that you might actually care about and love your animal. Her daughter will likely grow up to be a horrific brat, but you should consider getting your dog microchipped if you haven't already.

They must be Irish by descent because no one else has such strong sense of self-entitlement.
Mynxie 26
**** you. I am Irish decent and I have nevwr been an entitled person. Nor is my father. He has worked since he was 18. That is like saying blacks are entitled. Ass

Are there any other stereotypes that you've pulled out of your ass?
nmrhog 15
I repeat myself from my earlier comment. "what the actual ****"

Where the hell did you get that stereotype from? I've never heard such ridiculous nonsense before ever! It's so far from anything even true. Something along the lines of us all eating potatoes or all hating Ireland or all being cuddly lepricauns or alcoholics like they're not true but at least we can see where you got it from. We've never been entitled here. That's just not a thing at all. Did you have a really bad run in with one asshole from our country or something???
