Today, at Christmas dinner, my grandmother talked about the death of every single dog she ever had. All 10 of them. FML
I agree, your life sucks 33 135
You deserved it 2 756

dunn76 tells us more.

Hi I'm the op. To clarify, yes the dinner happened last night and so the 'today' thing is technically a lie, so sue me. My grandmother is 91 so she doesn't always have a filter as on what is appropriate to talk about. As to the 10 dogs, yes, there were times that she had 2 at a time. Most died of old age, but there were some that stuck out. One died because of cancer when she was a kid, another got hit by a car, and they had to put one down because she wouldn't eat because she was best friends with the dog that got hit by a car. Yes these were sad, but she is a good dog owner. She was tearing up when she was telling the stories. I love my grandmother very much and visit her at least once a week. As to the xmas mood, we decided to stop dinner and open presents to lighten up the mood for my younger sister. So don't worry, we had a good xmas!

Did the conversation die along with it?

You know all living things die eventually don't you...

Christmas dinner at 5:47? You celebrate on Eve or is this fake?

Sounds like my christmas, only difference is my grandmother went through all of her friends who've passed...

Some old people just need someone to talk to. Enjoy her while you have her and enjoy your Christmas op these are the things u will look back at and laugh at.

" You know Smasher got cancer, and a Datsun hit Vixen, Comet drank Comet, and poor Donner went pissing.

at least u have a grandma to tell u a story while I dont.. enjoy it while u can kiddo, u never know when it's gone.. please cherish these memories while u can however crappie the stories could be

This reminds me of my family opening our presents and the ASPCA commercial (aka "in the heaart offf the aangels) conveniently popping up to ruin Christmas mood.

Well I'm glad the rest of the night went well op :)

If she's 91, 10 dogs is not a lot. Let's be happy she wasn't a dog hoarder
