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.

#83 - gotta say your account name should be changed. It's not people who are stupid, just you. You obviously can't read so maybe you should have thought twice before commenting. But oh wait, you're too stupid to realize that. OP: your husband is horrible. He should at least had the decency to tell you if $100 was too expensive and discuss the option of burying it instead. He could have even buried it with the whole family there so that the son could say his last goodbyes to his dog. At least that would have been something memorable, in a good way.

:( that's horrible. i'd be so scarred. but i hope that you didn't tell your kid the truth, don't want to put a bad image of his father in his head. but he could've atleast taken an hour drive and buried it somewhere nice. #28. "its a dog. get over it. they die all the time i wouldnt pay 100 bucks for a vets "disposal fee" either" people die all the time, too. what's your point? people become attached to their pets like they're family. if you wouldn't spend $100 for something like family how are you expected to spend $1000s for your own?

That is so awful. SO awful. I am so sorry for both you and your poor son! That is no way to treat a creature that has been living with you, a regular part of your household regardless of its level of intelligence, or whatever bullshit argument people will pull out on you. Your poor dog at least deserved to have its remains treated with respect, not tossed on a river bank like litter (why do people have to toss litter on river banks either, for that matter?). But what a horrible thing to do! In my family, we are all adults and we had a dog that died in a really terrible accident that was shocking and grieving for us all, and we buried him in our back garden. The memory of seeing his wrecked body is still traumatizing and terribly sad, and I cannot imagine just treating his corpse as if it were entirely worthless. My father, who is a hardened, seemingly emotionless man, wept along with the rest of us as we dug that grave and buried our beloved dog. I really feel for you and your son. This really warrants a serious talk with a man who could be THAT callous.

Your husband is a massive jerk! How horribly inconsiderate, careless and selfish. Wonder what else he has lied to you and your family about? I'd be ripping him a new one if I were you. And making him pay way more than $100 to get the dog buried in a pet cemetery with a nice fancy headstone. Your poor son.
