Today, over a year on from my parents telling me my dog had died, I went to the shelter to volunteer, and saw my old dog. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. 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 saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, my new dog unburied my old dog and chewed on his bones. FML
Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML
Today, I returned home from college for the first time in a month. I went to my bedroom and found a nice gift bag on my dresser. Thinking it was a Valentine's gift, I opened it. My dog's ashes were in a tin inside. This is how I found out my dog died since I was away. FML
Today, at my job at a pet store, my boss told me to go outside and hand out flyers. I saw a man sitting on a bench and walked up, saying, "Hi! Do you have a pet?" He teared up and said, "I just put her down this morning." 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
Today, my mom told me to go meet a rescue dog. After doing all my research and emailing shelters left and right, I finally got a call. It went well! Then, my mom told me it would never happen. I'm still expecting several emails from the shelters I contacted, so I get to relive this pain. FML
Today, I took my 17 year-old dog, who had been my best friend my entire life right from when I was born, to be euthanised. I had booked in advance. The vet ambled in all spritely and cheerfully asked, "Just here for a checkup, aye?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should keep dropping hints about how this one dog looks particularly like your old one until they confess.

your parents are idiots and lazy. and maybe you are too since that's why the dogs in the shelter. maybe you should grow up and move out and take responsibility.

Wow, your parents are ridiculous! What kind of parents lie about a family pet's death. People of all ages get attached to them easily, too. that sucks :(

If they took it to a shelter why give the worst explanation for the dogs disappearance?(dying as apposed to running away) Think of it this way, Op, at least they took him to a shelter. My dad would have taken him out back & shot him to avoid the hassle of taking him to a shelter and paying for it. He shot three of our puppies my dog had because no one wanted them & he refused to take them to a shelter, so it could be worse. :/
