Today, my dog brought me his squeaky toy to throw for him. I went to throw it down the hallway but it hit the door and bounced about a foot in front of him. He just stared at me for a minute like I was dumb, then took it to my boyfriend to throw. I disappoint even my dog. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were throwing a toy for his dog. He threw it, and I turned my head in that direction, looking for almost a minute before realizing he didn't actually throw it. He's still amused because, "even the dog was smart enough not to fall for that." FML

Argument ender

Today, I was arguing with my girlfriend when my dog brought me a squeaky toy and tried shoving it into my hand so I could throw it for him. Out of habit, I grabbed it, but then it squeaked every time I tried to make a serious point. FML

Today, I bought a fancy automatic ball launcher for my dog. When I demonstrated it, my dog watched the ball fly through the air, then charged at the launcher instead, thinking it was the toy. FML

Go get it

Today, I was excited to teach my new puppy how to fetch. I threw the stick, and he just stared at it, then stared back at me with his tongue lolling out, as if to say, "You threw it. You go get it." I’ve now spent the past 30 minutes fetching my own stick, hoping he'd join in. Nope. FML

Dogs for Christmas

Today, I bought my dog an expensive plushie toy because I thought it would last longer than the cheap ones. He ignored it completely and spent two hours playing with the cardboard box it came in. FML

Today, I was having a conversation with a friend at the park when my dog ran up to me with something in his mouth. I thought it was a stick. I bent down to take it, only to realize it was a dead squirrel. My dog just stared at me, tongue lolling, like, “It’s a stick, throw it.” FML

How could you?

Today, I walked into my apartment happy to see my dog. Instead of running to greet me, he ran straight past me to jump into the arms of my roommate, who had just walked in behind me. He wagged his tail like crazy while I stood there, rejected. FML

Today, I was walking my dog when I tripped on the leash, dropping his treat bag. He snatched one, looked at me, and ran full speed in the opposite direction. I had to chase him for three blocks, yelling his name. He thought it was a new game. FML

I don't think dogs can feel disappointment. They are empathetic, so maybe it just sensed you felt disappointed in yourself, and because it's a bundle of love and compassion, didn't wanna bother you anymore.

"Really? You've been playing with his balls for years and yet you can't even throw mine?"

"Look, if you don't want to play, don't play. But if you're gonna, do it right!" Good things dogs can't talk.

Omg that's so funny. You must've threw it like a girl. Know I know. Chauvinistic comment but who cares. It's funny.

How is this an FML? This is pretty common and not something to be upset about.

I literally laughed for a minute after reading this. Couldn't help but imagine the thing like I was standing there and the dog looking at you. Cheer up. I dont think the dog was judging you.

The look on your dogs face must have been priceless and the thoughts that was going on in his mind lol. Good thing he can't talk but his actions said it all. Lol Don't feel bad though it was just one of those things that just happened. He'll give you another chance.

It's okay, OP. My dog is the same way. She'll have me throw a ball or frisbee for her, but I kinda suck at throwing. So she'll go get it, then take it to one of my family members instead. She always ends up giving me more chances to throw it for her, eventually.
