Today, my mom picked up my dog from the groomers. I came home to find a small female terrier on our couch. My dog is a full grown male maltese. What's worse is that it took me a full 20 minutes to convince my mom that she had picked up the wrong dog. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, I went to the local pet store to purchase a large dog bed so my dog wouldn't sleep in mine. After I got home and set up her bed, I realized I forgot to buy dog treats. When I came home again, her new bed was torn to shreds, and she was still sleeping on my bed. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room watching TV when I heard my mother obnoxiously yelling for the dog. Minutes later she stomped into my room, swatted me over the head, and yelled at me for not answering when she called. She actually got my name mixed up with the dog's. 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, I searched our neighborhood for our lost dog. After screaming at the top of our lungs, driving around in circles, and asking strangers, we realized we took him to the groomers this morning. FML
Today, I was at work when someone came in asking me to brush their pet Shih Tzu. After an hour of vigorously grooming through the multiple knots, I called the owner to collect their dog. When she got here she said, "Oh, did I say brush? I meant shave." FML
Today, I got my dog back from my aunt. Rather than taking him to an actual groomer, I gave him to my aunt because she needed a few extra bucks. My generosity lost me $35, and gave my dog ticks and a bad haircut. FML
Today, while I was at work, my boyfriend decided to give my Cocker Spaniel a haircut. I now have the equivalent of an over-sized naked mole rat running around my house. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when he decided that he was too lazy to continue walking. It ended up with me looking like a crazy dog lady carrying my medium-sized dog home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Because parents are smart in some things and stupid in others. Apparently, the parent needs more training than the dog.

I really don't understand how you can confuse the 2...

Actually, a maltese is classified as a 'toy' dog, so when you say 'full grown maltese', you mean a dog breed that looks almost identical in every respect to a standard white terrier. If the dog wasn't her's, that's a perfectly reasonable mistake to make. Evidently on-one on here knows what a maltese is.

1- I just read that comment in that family guy character's voice. Just thought I'd let you know.

then your mom tells you she picked up two wrong bitches. And one is you. You were adopted. Sucker.

Because if they had smart parents, there wouldn't be anything to FML about, silly.

Maybe she didnt like your old dog

Does anybody realize that maybe the dogs had the same name (something that works with both genders) And it was the groomer that made the mistake when they went back to get the dog and the mom didn't notice cuz maybe the dog was in a carrier or something

Yeah, but you'd think the whole male/female thing would give it away.

Well we don't hear about good parents on FML or else it wouldn't be an fml

Because she is barking mad?

I'm assuming the mom did not like their dog, so she 'accidentally' picked up the wrong dog. That or she's a ******* moron.

Well your already on the Internet if you looked up what a Maltese is you would see they look like white terriers

She's not really that perceptive, is she?

I think your mom traded up. Malteses are yappy little bastards while most terriers are a helluva a lot of fun.
IndiRae 9
0.o I disagree. Terriers are the yappiest bastards out there. Freaking ankle biters.
SeedlessMe 13
Some Terriers are ankle biters, yeah. But don't be talkin about my girl like that! I've never heard a 'yappy' pitbull...... ;-)
queen_rosie1994 12
the yappiest dog i know is a miniature dacshund. i think those beat terriers by a long shot.

Terriers are only yappy and ankle biters if you do not train them right.

Chihuahuas are the worst. Nothing more needs to be said.

Personally I think chiwowas are awesome. I have 2 chiwowas and they are really nice; they don't bark at all compared to my golden retriever.

I have a Maltese & a Terrier! The Terrier barks far more and much louder! My Maltese's favorite thing to do is sleep!

I have a maltese and I find it offensive that you will judge a whole breed of dogs by the very few encounters that your ignorance shows. I'm not going to badmouth terriers because I am not a dog racist but my Stella is ******* AWESOME even tho she is a Maltese.

How long have you had the dog? If long I'd be worried! xD

I like how you say full grown maltese as if that's going to stop the breed from being around the same size as a terrier... This could have been a pretty honest mistake, especially if it's a new pet, because of the size and look. There are plenty of terrier maltese crossbreed anyway, like morkies, so unless each dig was a purebred they could have had similar coloring too.

Crossbreeds, dog... Whoops swype interpret!
