Today, I got a puppy. I just found out I can't bring it on the family trip. To save me the trouble of finding a friend to take her in, my mum handed her back to the pound. FML

Go get your dog back and bring your mom to the pound.

Well that's just ******* irresponsible! When worst comes to worst you should stay home with the puppy! Let's hope idiots like you stay away from animals!

What the heck? The OP is an idiot JUST for not staying home on vacation for a puppy that she recently got? Clearly, the OP didn't have time to think before her mother returned the puppy. On another note: The pound shouldn't have accepted the puppy back, because it is VERY traumatizing when a dog is expecting to go to a better home then is returned to the pound. It's the same case as a foster home. You see a kid, and you want him. He's all packed and ready to go when you find out you can't adopt him. (It could also be a her) How do you think the kid would feel? It's even worse for a little puppy.

Than idiots shouldn't adopt puppies without being prepared to care for them for their entire lives! This isn't the shelters fault. Many are obligated by law to accept every animal that comes in. This is about the OP and/or his mother being irresponsible.

Why did you buy a puppy just before a family holiday? That's just stupid. Of COURSE you shouldn't take the puppy on holiday before getting him/her settled in at home.

aww sorry): can you get him back after the vacation...?

There are a lot of opinions that people are sharing here based on, well nothing actually. What is with everyone assuming that the OP didn't get permission before adopting the puppy? Or that they are irresponsible because their mother took the puppy back rather than giving them time to figure out a way for someone to care for it while they were gone? Who is to say that this family vacation is something that is right around the corner happening in the next few days? Maybe they aren't going for over a week and felt they had time to settle in the puppy and find a sitter. Seriously, all you get from reading this is that the person was not given a chance to find a sitter. That doesn't make them, cruel, irresponsible, stupid, lazy, etc. It is a shitty situation and hopefully it can be resolved. And to everyone asking if they can just pick the puppy up from the pound after their vacation, wtf? A pound is not a pet sitter, find a pet sitter then go and get your puppy back after the appropriate arrangements have been made. The only dumb thing you did was not plan all of this better from the start OP, doesn't make you a horrible person, you just didn't think it through.

OP should punch their mom in the f-ing face 27 times and then get the puppy back, that'll teach 'er!

the sad thing is, this is the lowest YDI's I've ever seen on a post. because it's about a PUPPY. wow.

YDI for buying it right before the family trip. FYL for having an asshat for a mother.
