Today, I was taking my dog for a walk and got robbed at knifepoint. The robber made away with my phone, cash, and debit cards… and the French Bulldog I’m still making monthly payments for. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got mugged while walking my dog. He seemed to be OK with it. FML
Today, I was pickpocketed. I didn't realize until I stopped to get breakfast. I went back home to see that my dog had taken my wallet and had ripped and torn it up. I was pickpocketed by my own dog. FML
Today, my 175-pound rottweiler I've raised since a puppy watched me get jumped and robbed of my phone and money in my yard. An hour later, he hopped the fence and chased the mail man down the street after he leaned on the fence for a second. FML
Today, I got mugged. I almost felt sorry for him: he got a $15 cell phone, a frozen debit card, a credit card with only $50 of credit left on it, and no cash. FML
Today, I got mugged. As the guys who took my purse were about to walk away, my cellphone rang in my pocket. FML
Today, while I was walking to my car, I was mugged. Not only did they take my phone, wallet and watch, the extra few minutes taken in my journey meant that when I got to my car, I was given a parking ticket. FML
Today, I got mugged. I also got an extra kick in the face for not having money in my wallet. FML
Today, I was robbed while recovering from a robbery. FML
Today, my boyfriend's vicious dog, which he got as a security measure and growls and barks at me whenever I go near it, was caught on our security camera playing like a puppy with a burglar, while the other two burglars cleaned out all our valuables. FML
Today, I was walking my dog through a park with a lake. My dog was swimming in said lake, and then appeared to be having trouble keeping his head up. I put my phone and keys on the ground and waded to my dog. He was fine, but I turned around in time to see someone run off with my stuff. FML

I feel bad for your loss, especially the dog since dogs are like family. That being said - funneling enough money that you’re making payments to a breeder for a dog breed that’s been inbred to the point of I’ll health and cruelty isn’t the best idea.

I'm sorry about your loss. To be blunt, if you have to pay off a purebred dog over time like a used car, you're not really in the economic class of someone who should own such a dog. There are plenty of mutts at shelters that need to be adopted for little to no cost. You can find excellent dogs there that won't throw you into debt.

Exactly. The situation is terrible. I’m sure being robbed at knife point is terrible. I’m VERY sure losing your dog is unbearably terrible. However, I can’t get my head around how someone would finance a dog. That dog is a living being, it’s not a car, it’s not a house, it’s a living breathing (it’s a frenchie so breathing is a long shot) animal. This isn’t my place to grandstand but I’m going to anyway and sorry not sorry. The idea of pure bred dogs has become completely inhumane. They have so many health problems from being bred and inbred to fit a “standard.” I don’t know when it happened, but these specialty breeds are essentially the royal family or any Arkansas “my brother is my cousin but the father of my sister who is the wife of my father that is the grandfather of my father that is the husband of my sister and the cousin of niece.” I didn’t take the time to actually figure that out but I feel like I made the point. Adopt don’t shop, or buy what is essentially the dog equivalent of a descendant of Queen Victoria for an insane amount of money if that’s really what you want. That’s my rant and ,again, I’m sorry. I’m just passionate about adoption and the eradication of breed specific “traits” that are making your poor pup miserable
