Today, it was snowing but I had to let my dog out, so I picked him up and carried him outside. I slipped, landed on him and ended up breaking his leg. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a hike. It had snowed the night before so I wore warm clothes. They didn’t help when I slipped and broke my leg. FML
Today, it snowed. So, a guy I like and I decided to go sledding. I really wanted to impress him by going down the hill and casually slowing down at the bottom right at his feet. Instead, I crashed into him and broke his ankle. FML
Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML
Today, while trying to pick up dog poo, I tripped and landed in the pile. FML
Today, I tried to walk on the sidewalk. Actually, it was so slippery that I had to shimmy across it. Then I shimmied too quickly and fell down. Now everything hurts. Maybe next time I should bring a sled. FML
Today, I jumped into a pile of snow which had built up against a wall. Turns out it wasn't snow but a pile of cement covered by an inch of snow. I now have a 3 inch cut along my leg and a sprained wrist from falling. FML
Today, I was walking my dog but every time he looked like he was about to "go", he became uninterested with the spot and kept walking. I, following behind, tripped over a bump in the sidewalk and face planted. My dog then finally urinated, all over my aching body. FML
Today, my dog threw up on the tiled floor. I found out at 6 this morning in the dark when I slipped and fell in it. FML
Today, my dog decided to take a poop at the top of an icy hill. Being a good citizen, I went to clean it up. Guess who slipped and wore the poop all the way down the hill… FML
Today, I walked in the snow and saw some kid slip. I laughed and felt good about myself. Then I fell. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Today I'm a dog, descendent of the mighty wolf that lives in wintery forests, a relative of the husks, the famous sled-dogs of the snowy northern lands. My owner thought I couldn't handle a bit of snow and decided to carry me to my toilet-spot. He slipped, fell on me and broke my leg. FML

Yes because your dog couldn't walk on his own and now he really can't walk on his own thanks to you.

At least it wasn't a smaller breed. Could've killed him.

Aw that sucks. :( I always feel terrible every time my dog makes her way under my feet, I can't imagine how this feels. I hope he recovers quick and gets a big bag of treats! :)

For people saying that dogs can handle snow, while that is true for some breeds (i.e Great Pyrenees, St. Bernard, Newfoundlands, ect) other breeds like short-haired Chihuahuas, Chinese Cresteds, Whippets, (miniature/Italian) Greyhounds, Saluki, Pitbulls, ect, are very intolerant of cold weather. Something that sound be kept in mind is that the dogs we have today have been both domesticated, and selectively bred for hundreds of years for their looks, in many cases during the breeding process the last thing on their mind was weather tolerance. I have a short-haired Chihuahua, and after a couple minutes in the snow he'll begin to yelp in pain because it's too cold on his paws. -Not to mention, some dogs have medical issues such as cataracts (which would make it difficult to see or find its way back into the house), or arthritis (cold could make it difficult/painful to walk). So OP's acts are completely justified, and for people saying "Why would you let him outside in the first place?" or saying it's OP's fault for not being more careful, first of all, like tons of dogs around the world (regardless of size), OP's dog is probably trained to go outside to do its business, and unless it's -30 out, making exceptions for going inside the house could lead to future issues and perhaps retraining the dog. Taking a dog out for a minute or so, in order to release the contents of its bladder does absolutely no harm, paws can always be warmed up when they're back inside!. Second; ever heard of black ice? You can't exactly see that shit, especially if it's covered in a layer of snow, and anyone that has ever slipped on black ice should know it's very difficult to regain balance whilst still on it. Sorry about your pup OP, hope the leg heals properly and doesn't lead to future issues. Either way, accidents happen, and it's not like you knew what the outcome was going to be, if your dog has no health issues, and is still somewhat young the leg will most likely recover well, also, dogs have a very high pain tolerance, so don't beat yourself up too much. ^.^

“Dogs are the best bro” has to be coddled like a toddler every 2 hours cuz it has to go potty.
