Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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, my mom started fundraising and selling things on eBay. At first I was happy because I thought she was finally going to help me pay my college tuition. Turns out she's planning on raising money to get our dog a new friend because she's "lonely." FML
Today, I found out my mom recently stopped taking her medication. I came home to find she'd shot my dog because she thought he was possessed by the devil. FML
How could you?
Today, it's been 3 months since I agreed to my mom's suggestion that we send my dog for training. I just found out that she never sent him for training, but sold him to someone. FML
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
Doggy dog world
Today, after I went to live with my biological mom, after she convinced me she’s been off drugs while I was living with my grandparents, she gave me one of two puppies she'd bought as a gift. Then she got arrested. Turns out she stole said puppy. Some things never change. FML
Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML
Today, my dog ate a $2,000 check. My credit card bill gets taken out of my bank account tomorrow. FML
Today, my parents told me they wouldn't be able to afford my senior portraits. That was fine with me, until I found some expensive professional photos in the mail. Of our dog. 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

Sell your mother to buy your dog back

Sell her car to pay your bills and then tell her about it later.

You're 21 and didn't know respect should be earned, not blindingly given?

#25 How's life with an extra chromosome?
soulreaper12296 28
So what you're saying #20 is that we should have respect for the mother and not say things like selling her car for bills, yet it was perfectly fine of the mother to sell OP's dog?

Some mothers don't deserve respect

#20 **** your own face. someone sold my dog I'd break every bone in their body.

Wow that's horrible FYL. Hope you can retrieve him/her somehow.
Lalala579121 28
Maybe the dog will break out of wherever it was sold to and be on OP's doorstep tomorrow. And then they make a hallmark movie out of it.

Murder is always wrong.

I know how sometimes referencing other FMLs seems cute and clever, but...not with that one.

Dogs are way more important than paying off bills. I hope you can get your dog back!

If you had the dog tagged or any proof the pup was yours you could tell her get me my dog or I'll see u in court ?
igotds 16
Well that was w bitchy move
RabbitOfAurora 28
I'm so sorry your mother is such a heartless person OP. Do you think the people who bought the dog would take your mother in trade so you can have her/him back? Seriously though. If you can track them down and explain, they may take a refund. Or if the dog is registered in your name you can report him stolen.

If you reported it stolen that would be a dick move to the person who bought it with money
Replyka 17
Except they bought a stolen animal because the dog wasn't hers to sell.

#31 any investigation would fall back on the mother as the one being at fault.
MonstreBelle 29
I really do hope whoever bought the dog does the right thing and gives the dog back. I would be devastated if something like this happened to either of my dogs and I couldn't get them back. I'm sure this must be hard for both OP and the dog.

Still, I believe it's illegal to purchase stolen goods, so once they become aware that the dog was stolen the new owners would be obligated to return it unless they want to face legal action. Although if op has no way of proving they own the dog the cops wouldn't do anything about it. I've know someone who had a puppy stolen out of their house and they found it a few doors down. They would have gotten it back, but they didn't have it chipped or any photos of it with them, so they technically had no proof it was theirs.

If she needed the money for her children's sake I'd understand.
lexiieeex3 32
Still should've talked to OP about it first...
soulreaper12296 28
I saw this earlier in the moderation but worded differently. It said that OP doesn't live with their mother. So that means said mother had to of gone to OP's house/apartment and taken the dog.
DoomedGemini 38
No, you don't get to sell your child's animal without even talking to them about it first. This was heartless.

animals are family, you don't sell family FOR family

You clearly have never had a dog
Mathalamus 25
Dog, or electricity, heating, or keep the house? Gee, hard choice... I'd have given up the dog if money was that tight.
Talonshere 14
And that is the reason why you are heartless.
soulreaper12296 28
That would be perfectly fine if it was your dog you were selling. But selling someone else's without permission is NOT ok.
Mathalamus 25
Yeah I get that a lot. Funny thing is, I don't care. I would always put myself and any other human before pets. At least it isn't China.
ballislife2324 14
I agree with 10, if money is tight and you have a choice between keeping my dog or my house, I would sell that dog without any hesitation. However if it isn't your dog and you sell someone else's then that's wrong.

Now would be the time to tell her you've spent the last of her money on dog food and pet toys in some sort of The Gift of the Magi twist.
