Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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, 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

This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

Brief encounter
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, 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 dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML

Today, I let my new puppy outside for the first time. When I went to get him, I saw a man running off with him. FML

Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. FML

Here boy!
Today, I found a lost dog and called the owner. When he arrived, I thought it would be cute to put the dog down so he would run back into his owner's arms, like in movies. As soon as I put the dog down, it ran away again. FML

FYL for losing the dog. YDI if you let it outside and expected it to be obedient and listen to you on day one

This exact thing happened to me. Luckily I got him back a day later. He just managed to find a way to wiggle out of my fenced yard in the time it took me to grab a ball to throw him. It's been a year and a half now and he wouldn't do that again now that he knows where home is. (I also added rabbit fencing to better secure my fence line.) You aren't a bad owner. Things like this happen sometimes. 1/3 dogs get lost at some point in their lives.

You probably shouldn't own a dog if you lose it on the first day

You should probably stick with goldfish. To be really safe, start with the crackers.

I don't think the dog liked you.

If you live them, let them go! But no, really, you should go find your dog, keep a better eye on them and if you don't have a fence that will keep your dog in your yard, do not get a dog. Or, do not let them outside when you aren't going to pay attention to what they are doing.

That's a real doggone shame! Lol

Ignore the people saying you don't deserve a dog. One of my dogs got out once because she saw the hole under the gate and wanted to know what was on the other side of it. Once she found out, she just sat there by the gate until we found her. The hole was filled up and covered immediately afterward. Sometimes dogs do those things. It's not your fault; you just have to be really careful about leaving them chances to roam, and make sure you know what to do if they get out. Luckily, most well-trained dogs, once used to their home, won't go very far.

When we adapted a shelter dog, she did this too. It took us about 3 months to fix all the ways she was getting out but she always came back when she was done doing what she wanted.
