Today, I took my son for a walk to tell him about the passing of our family dog. As we were walking by the river, Ozzy (our deceased dog) was laying on the riverbank. My son thought he just ran away and we found him. Turns out my husband was too cheap to pay the 100$ vet disposal fees. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was taking out the trash and I came upon a bill from a veterinary hospital. It was for $50 and it was a bill to put my dog down. My Dad said my dog was missing and I put hundreds of signs around the city. FML
Today, I was outside searching for "treasures" with my son using small plastic shovels. All of a sudden he starts screaming. He dug up the bones of our old dog. I told him that we had sent him away to live on a farm, I even helped my son write letters to the farm owners. FML
Today, my dog died. I spent ages digging him a grave and buried him in the garden so that my dad wouldn't have to deal with the stress when he got home from work. When my dad got home he told me that he had wanted the dog to be cremated. I have just had to dig up my dog's body. FML
Today, while I was on a field trip with my son, my husband decided to get rid of our dog without asking anyone. Now I get to pick up the pieces of a broken heart, and he thinks he did nothing wrong. FML
Today, I told my daughter that we were going to the beach. Today, my daughter also tried to dig up our deceased dog, who we buried in our back yard last week, so he could come along. 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 was babysitting my little cousin when we decided to go outside and have a "treasure hunt" in the backyard. The first thing we found? The bones of her pet dog who had passed away four years ago. FML
Today, I found my cat dead on the road. I called my family and told them, and later buried the cat. Not long after I got done burying it, my cat walked up to me. I buried someone else's cat. FML
Today, I went to my father's house to get my dog, since I had left it with him while I was on a business trip. When I got there, my dad said the dog pooped on the floor a few days ago, and so he took him to the pound. FML
Today, my dog died. My parents told me to bury it out back. In the process, I managed to dig up my cat. FML

1st - I feel terrible for your son! 2nd - I feel terrible for YOU for having to be tehre when he witnessed this. 3rd - I'd make your HUSBAND explain to your son exacty why he was too selfish to cover the costs of the basics adn why he didn't care about your son enough to do things right. Seriously. He disgusts me.

...your husband didn't want to pay to fees AND he didn't even bother burying him? That's ridiculous. I agree with #3 - make HIM explain.

Ok everyone who us calling me a dumbass for supposedly not reading, please tell me where exactly it says the father put it there. For all we know the dog could have actually run away and died on the river bank as it is stated that the parents did tell the child it ran away. Maybe it actually did run away and understandably no one told he kid it was found because it was dead. #90,78 & 85: I don't understand how you can conclude that I'm stupid from my comment. I mean as sad as it is it's just a fact that pets, on average will not live as long as humans so, the kid was gona see it die regardless and yes it is sad he found out that way but it isn't the fathers fault. Did the mother really have to walk the kid to explain about the dog?

FML" 1) i assume she didnt LEAD her son to the dog just to explain that it's dead. i'm sure she took her son out for a walk to ease him into telling him that their dog died. He just THOUGHT that it ran away & they found it 'sleeping' on the riverbank (which it obviously wasn't). 2)I'm sure that she gave her husband the task of going to the vet to dispose of the body, but because they found the body on the riverbank it's OBVIOUS that he didn't do it and decided to 'dispose' of it himself.

That's definitely disgusting, disturbing behavior for which there would be dire consequences. Having recently lost a pet, this made my stomach turn.

even if its illegal to bury a dog, isn't it more illegal/wrong to just leave its dead body somewhere? gah, idiots. yeah, your husband deserves a slap.

To all the people saying "bury it in your yard", ever consider that maybe they don't have their own yard? For all we know, they could be renting a place. If so, they have the option of paying a vet to dispose of the body, dumping it somewhere, or burying it on public property. Since digging a hole where you're not supposed to tends to attract attention, that leaves the former two options. By the sound of it, the husband dumped the dog in the river and it got washed up on the riverbank. It probably would have been smarter to just put the body in a black trash bag and throw it in a large dumpster, say at a construction site or behind a supermarket. If they did have a backyard, then the husband should have buried it there.

that is effing TERRIBLE. what the **** is wrong with your husband? seriously, if i were you i would leave the house until he does something about it because he lied to you and left your family dog to rot on a riverbank. and 83- how is this not the dad's fault? he knew the dog might die, and he let it die and rot publicly on a riverbank. tell me that's not terrible.
