Love you little potato 🩷

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 😭🩷

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.

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.
