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.

As a pet owner I find this so disrespectful. You can't take care of your pets in life or death you shouldn't have them. You are a terrible pet owner and i doubt your parenting skills if the simple task of taking care of a dead pet is too taxing.

Hey, 32, that's pretty cool. Now explain to us in all caps why we're wrong about calling him a douche for not caring enough to do it properly. Idiot.

The dollar sign goes before the number.

I always found that stupid. You don't say "you owe me dollar 20", you say "you owe me 20 dollars"

Reading this was like secondhand embarrassment. I feel so sorry for you. #34, it's not the OP's fault. She [assuming] was going to have it disposed of properly, and the husband didn't. It's his fault. Blame him.

I'm too appalled to even type a decent response to this.

Chill out people, it's a dog. You're all acting like he left it in the kids closet or something

what a cheap prick. thats disgusting and karma is a bitch (hopefully for that cheap bastard you call a husband) #40, its not a piece of furniture. its a dog. thats part of the family. and it was important enough for the mom to want to take her son of a walk to break the news. its not "hey we got rid of the kitchen table"

I agree with #34. If there is no way you can take care of an animal in death then why would you have one in the first place. I understand there are places you can't bury an animal, but you could always sneak it. Ever think of that one? I think you're Husband is a complete asshole. Your pet should be like a family member to you, and that shows that he has no respect for family. He needs to grow some balls and actually think of what he's doing. Maybe next time you people shouldn't have an animal at all. You're completely inconsiderate. #40. You're a dick. An animal should be treated the same way as a human being would be.

#28 and #40 you can't say "its just a dog get over it". no matter what species, the animal was part of the family and there is no reason what so ever that anything should be treated in such a disrespectful way. the husband should absolutely have to explain to the kid why he didn't have the decency or respect to at least bury the dog. as a pet owner myself, i feel for you and your son, but not at all for your husband.

A hundred dollars is a lot of money, especially to just dispose of an animal corpse.
