Today, no matter how many toys and teddies she has, and no matter how much I punish her, I'm most likely never going to be able to break my 10-week-old puppy's habit of stealing my underwear. She doesn't eat them or even chew on them. She steals them to sleep with. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, I went to the local pet store to purchase a large dog bed so my dog wouldn't sleep in mine. After I got home and set up her bed, I realized I forgot to buy dog treats. When I came home again, her new bed was torn to shreds, and she was still sleeping on my bed. FML
Today, I finally got my 18 month-old to throw away her trash and dirty diapers. Now she throws everything away, and I can't get her to stop. FML
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, it turned out that letting my daughter watch '101 Dalmatians' backfired; our dog gave birth to two gorgeous pups but she can't stop crying and asking where 'the rest of them' went. Apparently she's been telling her friends all week that she'd soon have 15 puppies to play with, and now will never be happy again. FML
Today, my dog is terrified of her own puppies. I don’t know what happened, but when she’s near them, she shows a fear response pretty much constantly. For her to feed them, I need to be by her face distracting her while the puppies feed from her hidden under a towel. FML
Today, when I visited my daughter's apartment that she moved into about 3 months ago, I found out that she buys new underwear every time she runs out instead of washing her dirty ones. Her dirty ones have their own special hamper. FML
Today, I let my 4-month old puppy sleep with me. She’s been constipated for a while. I woke up to a foul odor in the middle of the night. Turns out she took a massive dump on the bed right by my head. I had to completely strip my bed to go back to sleep. FML
Today, my dog ate my underwear. This is the twenty-seventh pair that he has eaten. FML
Today, my 3-year-old said, "Mommy, I can share my teddy grahams with you." I said, "Thanks, honey, you're so sweet." And I ate a few. When I popped the last one in my mouth, I said, "Oh no, all gone!" She said, "That's okay, I have more." Then pulled the next handful out of her underwear. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sew a bed for her using your underwear, and go commando. Problem solved.

Take some old pairs and let her sleep with them

Good things to know when you're trying to teach your dog something: -If one way doens't work, try doing it some other way. Just because it didn't work the way you did it, it doesn't mean it's impossible to. -Try to teach stuff with less punishment and more encouragement. Why always make harm when you can make happy? When your puppy tries to take the underwear, say/do something that draws her attention away so she doesn't get to take them. Then REWARD! If she's 10 weeks you've probably had her for just a couple of weeks. You can't just decide already then that "NO, this will never work". Things are easy now, it will probably get waaay worse when she gets a little bit older, and that's not a good way to think already.

Get a blanket you slept on for it. She wants your smell to be close

Do you leave a lot? Is so she (he?) just misses you and enjoys your smell. It will grow out of it. I have a Black Lab that used to do that too.

I don't work at the moment and I'm home all day giving her cuddles, so it can't be that.

Oh well I tried. Sorry, OP. Try sleeping with her toys for a couple of days. Make sure your scent gets on them?

Buy some cheep underwear and then give them to her so you don't have her taking your good underwear

There's this crazy idea called "pick up your shit." If your dog won't leave your undies alone, put them in a closed hamper in a closed laundry room. Come on, this is not rocket science.

Actually, depending on the size of the dog (or on how inventive said dog is), the hamper could be knocked over or opened. My dad's spaniel figured out how to open the storm door to the backyard. When my dad locked the thing, Buddy simply chewed a hole in the screen and got out

Your dad's spaniel deserved all of the underwear he got.

How hard is it to put our underwear out a reach of a 10 week old puppy?

It's your scent on them. My 3 year old pup likes to steal socks for this very reason. (She used to take underpants until she discovered socks.)
