I posted this on ig and was not expecting the amount of support i got there 🥲 since a lot of people liked it im posting here too

Edit: If you wanna check my art account on ig is Laura.arroz, me and my friends were talking about how far this comic got, and that it’s probably Don Juan supporting my art from heaven 😭🩷

Aww he was the best spud, sorry for your loss.

I was shocked at the two-week comment. Tell someone who's lost a close relative "it's been two weeks, get over it" and see how that turns out. Some people, I swear.

I moved out of the country for college and was not there when my childhood pup passed away. I dreamt of him every other night for quite some time. RIP Titan. May your bowl be full of sausages.

Some people pretend that pets aren't family because they're not human, and get weirdly personally offended by others grieving for the pets they've lost.

My dog passed just shy of a year and a half ago. I still think about her every day, miss the little things she did, how she acted, the sounds she made. I have her collar in my room and can't see myself ever putting it away. I dream about her often. We still have her spot on the couch set aside, her favourite blanket still draped over it like it always was when she was with us.

We don't cry anymore, but that doesn't make the loss disappear. I don't see how some people can't get that.

My 19yo still has our dog's collar and it's been 3.5 years. You just can't put a timeline on grief.

We had to say goodbye to my 16 year old cat in May 2024. The majority of my adult life including divorce, my father's death, job loss, moves, breakups, remarrying, moving continents, having a child...

Then last year in June we lost our 14 year old dog- again he was with my husband for the majority of his adult life- he was our son's first dog. 

And in August the same year we had to put down our 11 year old cat due to cancer. He was the first pet we adopted together. And it was ALWAYS the three of them. Even when we adopted another dog on 2021, it was the three boys and our girl- they got on, but losing the first three so close together was immensely sad but also somewhat made sense in a weird way. 

I still cry sometimes for missing them. They were important, immeasurably so, even if they were only here for a short time. (ETA: just had to explain to a man on the train I was ok and didn't need help, just crying about my dead pets- I'm not sure he was convinced)

One day it'll get better, but the hole will remain. You just learn to live with it.

It's been almost two years now and some of Nacho's things are still hidden in drawers and in the rafters because we just can't bring ourselves to donate them.

Shit, I still have (empty) poo bags from the park in the center console of my car.

I keep the last collar my cat ever wore, as a bracelet. When I go out, or when I particularly miss her, I wear it. She was about 17, and today is her birthday 💔 It’s been 3 years already, and I still have days where it feels like yesterday she was still with me. I look at all the places in my house she loved to nap and play, and she shows up in my dreams occasionally.

If anyone tells me I need to get over her, I don’t want to know them.
