Today, I tried to trim my dog's nails. After about a half hour of barking, biting, and general freaking out, I gave up and decided to pay someone else to do it. I'm a vet, and do this for a living. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at work when someone came in asking me to brush their pet Shih Tzu. After an hour of vigorously grooming through the multiple knots, I called the owner to collect their dog. When she got here she said, "Oh, did I say brush? I meant shave." FML
Today, I got my dog back from my aunt. Rather than taking him to an actual groomer, I gave him to my aunt because she needed a few extra bucks. My generosity lost me $35, and gave my dog ticks and a bad haircut. FML
Today, I took my dog for a basic spay and dental cleaning procedure. When I picked her up from the vet, I was reading through the surgery papers before they sent me away. They'd pulled 29 abscessed teeth and didn’t feel the need to tell me. FML
Today, I was clipping my nails. When I got to my toenail, the whole thing somehow ripped right out. I'm in agony. FML
Today, after my husband yelled at me for wasting money by getting my nails done, I decided to buy the supplies and watch YouTube to figure out how to do them myself. He then yelled at me for wasting money on the supplies. FML
Today, I started my dream job of being a veterinarian. My first day consisted of having to put down 12 dogs and 5 cats. FML
Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML
Today, while I was at work, my boyfriend decided to give my Cocker Spaniel a haircut. I now have the equivalent of an over-sized naked mole rat running around my house. FML
Today, I decided to treat myself to a pedicure ahead of my cousin's wedding. The woman doing my nails asked if I wanted my toe hairs trimmed. I was so taken aback and embarrassed that I said yes. They charged me extra. FML
Today, a client refused to pay for the nails I spent nearly three hours doing, because apparently it's her birthday and "you don't pay for birthday nails." She refused to pay, and we locked her inside the salon. She threw a bitch fit and rolled on the ground like a worm, kicking and screaming until the cops arrived. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She didn't say she didn't know how.. I think OP's dog would not cooperate with her.

How do you do other dog's nails but can't do your own?

Op doesn't do other dogs, the vet doesn't groom animals

The vet I work at grooms animals, and the techs are clipping nails all the time.

How are you able to keep your job op?? Lol if you can't do your own dog, then how the heck do you do someone else's? This just baffles me and all I can do is laugh... Lmao

I suppose she's a pretty girl and has other people trim the nails whenever the job comes up.

Maybe if he was paid to do it he would deal with it, but if you have the ability to pay for someone else to do the shit you don't want to do, why not?

At a vets office there's usually someone to hold the dog still while someone else trims the nails.

Demon dog? Or just bad vet? I wouldn't take my poor dog to you, if you can't even handle your own.

Ketamine!!! Then if you have some left over you can fall in the k hole and forget that you suck at your job.

Your attempt to be number one was.

Maybe you should invest in a muzzle. And get someone to hold him down.

I have a dog like that, too. Even professionals won't take him because he's just so unruly. I end up having to groom him, and it takes forever. Plus, I'm just not good at it.

I don't like saying 'Fail' out loud. I feel like I'm insulting someone, since it kind of sounds like 'Feo'(sp?), which is 'ugly' in Spanish.
