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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 sent my kids to play in the back garden and immediately heard them screaming. We buried our dog last week and last night some animal dug her up and spread the bones and rotting flesh around. The stench was horrendous, the kids are traumatized, and I vomited while reburying the bits. FML
Today, my new dog unburied my old dog and chewed on his bones. FML
Today, I was digging the foundation for what will eventually be my garage. My kids wanted to help Daddy, which means they had a front row seat with their little spades when we unearthed the skeleton of some previous homeowner's dog. Now they won’t stop crying. FML
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
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 found a pile of animal skeletons scattered in my backyard. It appears that last night, mother nature decided to rain so hard, that the graves of my childhood pets floated back up to the top, and covered half of my field. I now have to pick all of it up before my dog sees them. 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
Today, I realized burying my dog underneath our swing-set was a bad idea. My two sons are now scarred for life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Perhaps you should have buried the dog further down... he must've been awfully close to the surface if your son was able to reach the bones with a plastic shovel.

And this is why we shouldn't lie to our kids about dumb stuff. They can handle the truth.

You can bury your dogs there? We cremate ours. But serious ydi you are supposed to dig graves 4-6 ft so that stray animals don't smell the rotting flesh and dig it up. Your lucky that didn't happen, cause that would have been traumatizing! I don't get the spoiling of children, your just going to make it hard for him to deal with shit in life. If grandma dies is she just gone to live on a farm?

YDI for lieing to your kid.

You did it, you obviously dug a shallow grave and for lying to your child. Children need to experience death at some point and the body probably would have been discovered eventually.

Usually, you should bury any animal deep down. Not close enough to the surface for a plastic shovel to find.

Lying to a kid, someone who still trusts everything you say? That's mean. When someone's pet dies, they deserve to know. If you raise a child and lie to them the whole time, don't get upset if they start lying right back. When you're a parent, you should be honest so you can raise your kid to be honest too. YDI

Say you found a dinosaur bone and carry on digging

That is why the term "six feet under" exists...

kids growing up with animals need to learn about their deaths. they can't live in wounderland forever.
