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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
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 bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, my dog ran away. I looked for him for 5 hours, and when I came back home, he was waiting for me at the door. FML
Today, my ex adopted a dog from the dog pound. It was the same dog he made me get rid of while we were still together. FML
Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. 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, 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
Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You were hugging each other cause the dog got adopted.....? You didn't deserve it BUT pay attention to the dogs!! How was no one holding it by the leash?

I agree. I can't let my dog out of my sight for a second if she isn't on her leash. She always has to harass a stranger or use their yard as a bathroom. And when you chase her, the excitement makes her run away even further!

Depending on the point of the transaction, it's either yours or the customer's fault, because somebody needs to be watching the dog. Many run away, and you working there should be aware of this, so YDI.

Wow. I agree.... this is a huge FAIL. Hope you found the dog, and he's OK. If not... time for some explaining to the people who were going to adopt him! Hope someone got fired for this.

The shelter I volunteer at they always tell you to watch the dog. Once the dog is back in it's crate or safely with the family adopted it, then it's ok hug one another. You partially dropped the ball. I can understand why it's so exciting for a dog you never would think would get adopted, to in fact get adopted. I really hope you guys find the dog.
