Today, my puppy went missing. I found him, unconscious but thankfully alive, in a taped-up box with no holes. My little brother eventually confessed to doing it because he wanted to sell my puppy on eBay. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, I found out that my little brother has been rubbing my toothbrush in dog shit for the last month because I accidentally broke one of his toys. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, my dog ate my little brother's medication. I spent all morning trying to make him throw it up, but it wasn't working so I took him to the animal hospital, which was in a different city. $150 in poison control and vet bills later, I found the pill we thought he ate stuck under his paw. FML
Today, I got home from work and found my dog missing. When I asked my neighbor if she saw what happened, I saw my dog sleeping on her couch. She tried to say it was hers. FML
Today, my boyfriend apparently lied to me when he'd said we could get a dog one day. I bought a puppy for him in secret but as soon as he saw it he was all, "What the hell is that? We’re not keeping it." It’s now with his parents, as he didn’t want it overnight or even in the house. FML
Today, I let my new puppy outside for the first time. When I went to get him, I saw a man running off with him. FML
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, I was boxing up all my brother's old stuff to take to the attic. I came across a box, and without checking what was inside, I took it up, just to have it fall on my head, to then find out it was filled with dead baby hamsters. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a terrible thing to do. Hope he's in the dog house. Hope the puppy is alright.

I'm sorry but this fml is way too disturbing and messed up to have been posted :/

If OP's brother is old enough to use eBay and could do that to the dog, then he's old enough to know better. I would have no sympathy if she kicked his ass. So sad but at least the puppy is ok, probably traumatized, though :(

Time to sell the brother on eBay I think.

@80 in a taped up box with no holes.

Hope you dog is alright now

He should be grounded for life! I'm glad the puppy lived! That's ****** up!

I wonder how old your brother is. Either way that's an awful, awful thing to do. I hope your brother now understands that he can never do something like that again. I really hope your dog is okay!

If he's old enough to use eBay he's old enough to take responsibility for his actions

#43 you don't seem to comprehend today's generation. Kids now a days will know how to work a computer and download mods for games before they learn what a period is (so generally before 9). Being old enough to work EBay definitely does not mean he's old enough to understand that holes need to go in the boxes for animals to breath
NickACD 27
And that excuses this action? That makes them incapable of taking responsibility for their actions?

Considering you have to be at least 18 years old to use Ebay, he'd have to be really damn ignorant to not know animals need oxygen.

You do realize it's very easy to fake that sort of information, thats beside the fact the puppy was probably boxed up BEFORE he planned to go on eBay and sell it.

Kindergartners should know that animal need to breathe. Either OP's brother is a psychopath or their parents have done a terrible job raising their child, probably both.

I don't think the Ups/FedEx would have accepted the box

I don't think that's the flaw in his otherwise perfect plan.....

I don't think that's the problem...

You're brother is either too young to comprehend the need of oxygen for a living creature or a really big dick. I'm glad the puppy is okay, OP! Hopefully he won't try anything else like that in the future.

I really do hope the puppy's ok. There could be brain damage from the lack of oxygen to the brain. If you're old enough to understand the workings of ebay, you should be old enough to know that more than just humans need oxygen. Brother is confirmed an asshole.

It's not so much "too young to understand need for oxygen" as "too young to understand a small sealed container means there is a very limited supply of oxygen."

That's when you put HIM in a box and attempt to sell him on ebay. See how he likes it.

Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do.

he'd learn a lot when the panic kicks in from the lack of oxygen. wait till he's unconcscious and then wait a little more till you let him. out.
drrobotnik1 18
why let him out? he deserves to die. suffocation is too kind for him.

Poor puppy! I hope you told your parents.

Sad to see people look at animals as things of monetary value. Obviously your brother has some growing up to do.
