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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, I lost my dog and so I put up 'lost' signs. As I was coming back home I noticed one had been written on. It said: "Found your dog. Keeping it". 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, I went on a run with the family dog. I returned home to three missed calls and a hysterical voicemail from my dad. Why? The dog was gone. Not me, his 15 year-old daughter, the dog. 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, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. 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, I received a $100 bill in the mail as a late graduation present. I placed it on the table so I could go to the bathroom. I come back to find the table empty and my $100 bill missing. The fan blew the money on the floor and my 8 week old puppy ate it. 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, I got a huge bill through the post. It turns out that my elderly mother made the vet come out to my house to see the dog while I was out, because she was scared of the little growths she had found on his body. They were nipples. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, I can't find the appropriate words for your dad...so I just say: Whatever bad happens to him in life, he will totally deserve it.

maybe OP's dad accidently hit the dog while backing out or something, it was hurt too badly to be saved, and he felt so horrible about it that he had no idea how to tell them. or it was old and/or sick. i would hope the vet wouldn't just put down a healthy dog. :( in any case that's very sad, it's so hard to lose a pet. i'm sorry.

I know people like to protect people from things that will hurt them, and how upsetting it can be to lose a pet, but they would have found out sooner or later, Dad couldn't protect them from it forever, and explaining it to them would have been a much less painful way than they did find out.

That's really sad! I hope you told your dad that you found the receipt! Hopefully he had a good reason for doing it, but even if he was trying to protect you from being upset about the death he should have done a better job of concealing it. Parent fail.

I'm sorry for the loss of your pet but my guess is your dog was terminally ill/injured and your dad was just trying to protect you from the pain of your pet dying. It's what fathers are supposed to do.

FYI people, you can get your dog put down for no reason. It is just apparently $25 cheaper to do it at the A.S.P.C.A. Don't want to start a fight. Just pointing it out.

I don't understand why they would need protecting so much, everyone experiences death in their lives and dad won't be able to protect you from every one of them. I assume the OP isn't a young child therefore the dad should have been honest. What's he going to say is someone like a grandparent dies... "grandma's gone to Florida"?? Yes it would hurt them to find out their dog is dead but it's better than living in some hopeless idea that their dog might come back....

Even if the dog was old and sick, it was cruel of the OP's father to deny the OP closure like that by lying. I hope the OP confronted dear ole' dad. FYL indeed, dude.
