Today, I paid $5000 for a new fence in my backyard for my dogs. My dog escaped three hours after the contractor finished the fence. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dogs broke through our electric fence, one of whom managed to get his collar off. I picked it up and, without thinking, went across the fence line. I screamed like a chihuahua being run over by a bulldozer. FML
Today, I finally decided to get a dog. I have always been wanting to get one ever since I was a child. I bought a $1,400 Golden Retriever. I went out for lunch a few hours later with a friend, so I left my dog in the backyard. I came back home to a broken fence and no dog. FML
Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML
Today, as I was pulling into my driveway, I hit my fence. The same fence that I had repaired last week because I had run into it. FML
Today, I met my new neighbors. The first thing they did was build a fence. FML
Today, I let my dogs out, and then realized they didn't have their electric fence collars on. I ran inside to get the collars, then dashed out to put them on my dogs. I ran through the electric fence. The collars were on. FML
Today, I ran into a parked car and fell into the gutter. All because a dog suddenly barked at me. From the other side of a wooden fence. FML
Today, I received a $500 fine for an "unruly" dog. I don't have a 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

dumb contractors

Was it their fault? Sue them if it was.

YDI for not teaching your dog to talk and reason with him about what he wants.

I think that these "helpful comments" just ruin the lolling for everyone else. It's like being logical while talking to a clown. It is totally uncalled for.

how would it be the contractors fault, I'm sure the contact didn't state one military grade prison fence, and I can't imagine a contractor that would offer the assurance it's "dog proof".

The op didn't say that the dog ran away, just that it had gotten out of the fence

5000$ for a fence? FYL indeed. You could have saved yourself a fortune and gone with a classic. A dog leash.

Mine have dug under, but usually they jump over. Even more often is the gate gets left open.

or how about $5000 is a ridiculous price
flyerfan101 9
it is, I have a leash in my backyard that I just put it in the ground and put my dog on the leash, it works and my dog can't run off, and I payed less then 50 bucks

My dog ran away with that idea. Watch out and make sure it is well tied down.

Don't get an electric fence, my neighbours dog was paralysed by one....

That's mean to the puppy! Tie a leash onto the clothesline. They can still run around. It's what my grandparents did to my mom. :)
ImInABox 6
They did that to your mom? HELLO.
wolflover44 5
Lol yeah. My mom used to jump fences. She painted the neighbors boat once... That's when they decided that more effective means of keeping her inside the fence had to be put in place. Lol. So a dog leash and a child harness was the solution! Why can't a dog harness and dog leash be put in place for the doggies. :)

You have to extend the fence under the ground, either with chicken wire or some other barrier.

Leashes tend to work.
