Today, it's my sixth day taking care of my family's seven animals while my parents are in Singapore. So far, I've emergency-called the vet twice, taken a dog to the vet once, and cleaned up liquid dog shit five times. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, both my mom and I are very ill, while her boyfriend is perfectly fine. Somehow, this means that I’m the one having to take care of my mom, myself, the household and 6 pets, while he does nothing, goes on trips and leaves dirt all over the house when he’s here. 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, I came home from the hospital after six days. Despite having a cat sitter, they managed to shit on the bathroom floor and pee on my bed in protest for being gone too long. FML
Today, I agreed to care for my girlfriend’s sister's dog. She assured us that the dog was housetrained, but when I got home from work at 07:00 AM my girlfriend was sleeping and there was not only one “accident” but five. This is going to be a fun weekend. FML
Today, I'm going to visit my mother in hospital. She broke her hip and my father refused to take her to hospital for 6 days, insisting she would get better. My dog had cancer surgery, which will cost me a whole month's salary. I’m still recovering from 2 major surgeries myself, and my kids are being total dorks. FML
Today, my mom is on vacation and I’m taking care of her pets. I also get to clean the entire house. No, she didn’t ask me to do that. It’s just that I had to hold my breath every time I opened the fridge, and there is no surface clean enough to actually touch, so I simply couldn’t help myself. FML
Today, while housesitting my neighbor's dogs the phone rang. I answered it and a voice said, "Stop checking your Facebook and take care of my dogs. They look like they need to go out." FML
Today, I got up at 5am, brushed my teeth, shaved and showered to get ready for work only to step barefoot in a huge pile of dog crap in the middle of my living room floor. I don't own a dog. FML
Today, during my shift as a vet nurse, I picked up a gorgeous cat for cuddles, only to discover it was covered with pee. And now I am too. I still have 4 hours of my shift. FML
Today, I worked a 12-hour shift. Today my parents' cat also had diarrhoea. Rather than clean it up when said cat projectile shat all through my bed, they simply closed my door and left it for me. Since it's in my room, apparently it's my problem. They can't understand why I'm pissed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What the hell are you feeding the dogs that are making them sick. It's not that hard to take care dogs.

You are a very suckish pet owner! Never sign up to do anything like this again! I own way way way more animals than that and all of mine are perfectly healthy! If this continues, you should find someone else to take care of your families pets! Someone who actually knows how!

Oh and so you know, there would have been bad words in there, if it would not have been moderated!

I really hope you get paid, or something. Pet sitting can be a nightmare.

You know, I've seen several comments about the OP not knowing how to take care of an animal or that they're bad at it, etc. As a dog owner and a pet-sitter, these things happen. Our perfectly healthy dog vomited blood yesterday. We track everything our dogs do and eat. Sometimes, they catch colds or flus and they have to be taken to the vet. Especially when their owners leave. Dogs are very attached to their people and they will absolutely stop eating, going to the bathroom, even sleeping, until their 'people' get back. So before you jump to conclusions, actually know something about dogs. Because pet-sitting is hard. And it's not the OP's fault until we know that they've done something wrong. FYL, OP. I hope things have destressed a little. :/

Vomiting blood is not "perfectly healthy." It usually means internal bleeding. You should really take your dog to an animal hospital.

On the sixth day of taking care of my family's seven animals the dogs gave to me five liquid dog *****, two emergency vet calls and a vet visit with a doggie...

I'd say you're doing pretty good so far. I only had to take care of one dog when my relative left, and it spontaniously died on the second day. You are an inspiration to me. I commend you.
