Today, over a year on from my parents telling me my dog had died, I went to the shelter to volunteer, and saw my old dog. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, my new dog unburied my old dog and chewed on his bones. FML
Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML
Today, I returned home from college for the first time in a month. I went to my bedroom and found a nice gift bag on my dresser. Thinking it was a Valentine's gift, I opened it. My dog's ashes were in a tin inside. This is how I found out my dog died since I was away. FML
Today, at my job at a pet store, my boss told me to go outside and hand out flyers. I saw a man sitting on a bench and walked up, saying, "Hi! Do you have a pet?" He teared up and said, "I just put her down this morning." FML
Today, for National Pet Day, we had a pet show and tell at work. A colleague of mine showed us a picture of her lemon tree. I remember she had a dog and wondered why she didn’t bring him, so I asked why didn’t she show her dog. Turns out he passed away a month ago. She burst into tears and ran off. FML
Today, my mom told me to go meet a rescue dog. After doing all my research and emailing shelters left and right, I finally got a call. It went well! Then, my mom told me it would never happen. I'm still expecting several emails from the shelters I contacted, so I get to relive this pain. FML
Today, I took my 17 year-old dog, who had been my best friend my entire life right from when I was born, to be euthanised. I had booked in advance. The vet ambled in all spritely and cheerfully asked, "Just here for a checkup, aye?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should keep dropping hints about how this one dog looks particularly like your old one until they confess.

But now I'm wondering, where were you when your dog 'had died'? I mean, I have had a couple of pets, and if one died while I was in school, my parents kept it so I could say goodbye. And then we burried it in the backyard. There will be a logical explanation for your situation (maybe you were gone for a couple of weeks), but otherwise, I would find it pretty strange if your parents just said that he died and that his corps was already gone.

I feel like I've already made a similar comment on another FML today, but I am going to repeat myself. Poor Doggie! Your parents are evil!

Why is this a FML? I'd be so happy to see my dog that I wouldn't give a shit about my parents!
