Today, my puppy went missing. I found him, unconscious but thankfully alive, in a taped-up box with no holes. My little brother eventually confessed to doing it because he wanted to sell my puppy on eBay. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, I found out that my little brother has been rubbing my toothbrush in dog shit for the last month because I accidentally broke one of his toys. 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 dog ate my little brother's medication. I spent all morning trying to make him throw it up, but it wasn't working so I took him to the animal hospital, which was in a different city. $150 in poison control and vet bills later, I found the pill we thought he ate stuck under his paw. 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
Today, my boyfriend apparently lied to me when he'd said we could get a dog one day. I bought a puppy for him in secret but as soon as he saw it he was all, "What the hell is that? We’re not keeping it." It’s now with his parents, as he didn’t want it overnight or even in the house. FML
Today, I let my new puppy outside for the first time. When I went to get him, I saw a man running off with him. FML
Today, after I went to live with my biological mom, after she convinced me she’s been off drugs while I was living with my grandparents, she gave me one of two puppies she'd bought as a gift. Then she got arrested. Turns out she stole said puppy. Some things never change. FML
Today, I was boxing up all my brother's old stuff to take to the attic. I came across a box, and without checking what was inside, I took it up, just to have it fall on my head, to then find out it was filled with dead baby hamsters. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a terrible thing to do. Hope he's in the dog house. Hope the puppy is alright.

I think it may be time to teach your little brother how to treat animals. Depending on his age he may not realize why that was a bad idea.

that's bullshit. age is no excuse. when kids kill people, they get tried as adults under sensible juries. murdering an animal should be punished more harshly, not less. there's never a justification to kill a pet the way there is with a human. they're incapable of deserving it. it's not a like a dog could burn down your house or cheat on you.

Sell him on eBay

Watch him closely, if he's old enough to know better get him therapy.

That's horrible! How old is he!?
NickACD 27
Does that even matter?

If he's very young, why does he need money from ebay? If he's old enough to have bills, how does he not know that sealed boxes cause asphyxiation? Either way that boy has problems that are just coming to light.

I hope your brother learnt a lesson and he will never do such a thing again. Also I hope your parents ground him and explain what did he do wrong. Glad your Puppy is okay OP

You should tape him in a box and sell him on eBay.

1. I hope your puppy is fine. 2. Your brother's butt needs to be kicked. 3. What he did was criminal. He could be charged if you want.

#42 Technically he can be charged with animal abuse because he indirectly suffocated a dog

42, so if I lock someone in a box, I won't be charged with abuse/endangerment? Good to know...smh. How far would be far enough? He deprived the dog of oxygen, if you do this to a human it is attempted murder, so I'm thinking it is attempted murder in this case too.
