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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at my friend's house, when she commented that her dog's fur kept getting tangled because of its length. I reached over to tickle his tummy, felt a big tangled knot and agreed that he needed a good grooming. Then I realized what I'd grabbed wasn't fur. FML
Today, while handing out business cards to promote my new dog grooming business, I stopped to talk to a potential client. She let me get all the way through my 15-minute speech, before bothering to tell me she didn't have a dog. FML
Today, my boyfriend was rubbing my leg. He started laughing and said, "Babe, is this your leg, or am I petting Daisy?" Daisy is my dog. I need to shave. FML
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
Today, I walked in on my dad straightening my dog's fur. His excuse? The dog needed to feel pretty. 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 went to go get a haircut and I asked how much it was for a haircut, shampoo, and a blow job. I meant to say blow dry. FML
Today, at work at a beauty salon, I was explaining to a mom and her daughter about how we were going to style their hair, and the processes involved. I tripped over my words, saying, "We’ll start with a wash and a blowjob." Pretty sure from the way they stomped out I might not have a job tomorrow. 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, my mom picked up my dog from the groomers. I came home to find a small female terrier on our couch. My dog is a full grown male maltese. What's worse is that it took me a full 20 minutes to convince my mom that she had picked up the wrong dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I had few dogs in the past and I currently have two shih tzu and they are great! cute and loving and gets attentions from everyone when I take them for a walk. no other dog I own before can compare to them. So maybe you should own one before you judge them.

WCARlover, I give you 10 points for loving WCAR, but minus 5 points for not liking the kind of dog I have. You still win though. :)

My next door neighbors have two shi tzus. They have the worst bark ever! You won't believe how many times I've ran outside, thinking a small child was being hurt, to see them barking at the mailbox or something equally idiotic.

Funny thing. I've owned three Shih Tzus before and the only time any of them ever barked was when there was something threatening outside. Like the neighbourhood asshole trying to vandalise our property. Or a bear mauling our trash cans. One of the three dogs was so quiet, I don't think she ever barked more than ten times total, in her whole life. Your neighbours probably just don't know how to train their dogs, which is a shame because a Shih Tzu, being a lapdog, makes a very loyal and loving companion. Even if they have a habit of running directly in front of your feet when you're not looking.

.. trolls ..

Apparenty howslife doesn't know what a troll is, so they made up their own definition - a troll is anyone who disagrees with their (uneducated) opinion. Who goes through 20+ years of life without knowing that some people shave their dogs?
howslife123 0
not my real age^^ :P and yeah I made up my own definition because when I think of trolls I just think of things that just live to annoy you..

Hate to break it to ya, but I doubt anyone here sits refreshing FML all day, just waiting for you to post so they can disagree with whatever you say... ;)

Well, next time you'd better pay closer attention to what the customer wants, especially if she brings you a matted, knotted pussy.
