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

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

Just bury the damn dog. These are hard times, so it's understandable why he wanted to save money. Not that this justifies dumping a dead dog out in the open.

Who ever said "get a divorce" should go shove a sharpened pencil up their asses. There can be many explenations to this and I wouldn't pay $100 for a dead dog. He's not a human and he's dead for God's sake. But I would bury him somewhere. #32 is a very reasonable explination.

Your husband is an idiot. If he can't pay the fees, he should have BURIED the dog. I'm sorry you and your kid had to go through that.

That is so sad! Burying the dog isn't that hard, and it can be a nice ceremony for the family. That's what we always did. I would be so pissed I can't even imagine! Your poor son... wow.

122, have you ever buried a dog by yourself, properly? and all you other people saying its grounds for divorce, i sure hope your relationship doesn't get ended over some petty matter like this. Although i do agree that it was a messed up way to dispose of a dog. Everyone calling him cheap, get a freaking job and figure out what it takes to make a hundred bucks in this world. it takes me a whole week, granted, I am a student and working 25 hours at least a week on top of classes. But shit, get off your high horses and learn that a Benjamin isn't that easy to come by. P.S. I have two dogs, and our other one passed away a couple months ago. My father is in too much pain to dig 3 feet deep to make sure the other neighborhood animals don't dig it up and have to see a half eaten half rotten dog in the yard. Needless to say they took the dog out to my uncle's farm and used a back hoe to do the deed. But Switch and Toggle are still alive and kicking and are probably my greatest loves in this world outside of my species. Thank you

To all the people saying "It's just a dog," 1) Humans are animals. Get used to it. It's called "SCIENCE." 2) Dogs are part of the family as numerous posters have said. They deserve the same amount of respect as other family members. If the parents had a stillborn baby and just tossed it in the trash, all the people who would have said "It's just a dog" would be in an uproar. And done.

Only a brain dead imbecile with no grasp of reality would completely equate human life with animal life. Science has nothing to do with value of life. That's morals. And since you seem to not believe in things like morals, why would you even give a shit what happens to the dog or anybody else?

#25 you're an asshole you have no idea how hard vet school is, it's just as difficult if not more so than medical school. to the op, that really sucks. hopefully he has a good reason, but probably not.
