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.

I think he was just trying to protect you. Fail. C'est la vie.

quicktip: when your parents say that your pet ran away... it´s because they gave it away, abandomned it or killed it.

To #33 I'm assuming the OP is a young child otherwise it makes no sense why his dad lied to him.

You know, that's deep but your dad just didn't want you to get hurt but he's an idiot for putting the bill in the trash he shoulda shred it or burned it he just wanted to protect your feelings.

I always assumed this was a teenager and older sight.... I would have thought anyone over 6 could handle the death of a pet if told in the right way Protecting feelings doesn't help in the long term at all

I had a pup run away when I was a kid once. Took its toys and everything. Clever dog.... Lies to make things 'gentler' are a bitch.

Unless you are 8 (and considering you being on this site, I doubt it), FYL indeed.

40 & 42, one would definitely think that it would be teens & up, and with the kind of subject matter often posted it really should be, but i've seen comments on here from people who say they are as young as ten. horrifying, isn't it?

10 is a bit young to read some of this stuff. But it is old enough to not need to be protected about your dog's death.

Vet's can put down perfectly healthy dogs. So assuming there was something wrong with the dog is wrong. Also that was a stupid lie on your dad's part. FYL indeed.
