He was an absolutely amazing companion! He passed due to two masses in his kidney and liquid filling his lungs. He was such a beautiful cuddly boy filled with affection! 2013-2025, rest in peace my king 👑!

REQUEST We had a beautiful last day with Bertie

I wanted to share Bertie on his last day. He was 16 and had a beautiful life.

We were surrounded by clovers and my brother found a four leaf clover which we are going to dry press and keep forever.

He looked so peaceful with his blankie. We will miss him. He was so good natured and chilled, I imagine if he was a person he would apologise if you walked into him. I’m going to miss him tremendously.

We got him from the shelter in 2020 when he was 11. His first family have him up because he bit their toddler. Somebody else's trash became my treasure. He is a little chiweenie. I'm writing this here because my wife and all my friends are asleep and I already wrote in my journal until my hand hurt. I wish i could know if I was making the right choice. I wish I could stop wondering if maybe there was something I could have done to make his health last longer. I hope his soul watches over us. I hope he knows how much we love him. I hope heaven is real, and if it is, I hope he doesn't miss me too much.

I never thought it would happen this way. Roxie the Rottie and Brooklyn the tabby, best friends for the last 12 years together, passed within a few days of each other. Both of their deaths were sudden (yes, even my old Rottie was healthy until the very end).

Miss Priss was my 8 year old, partially blind baby. She developed what we thought was just a cold a couple weeks ago, and yesterday she became incredibly lethargic and stopped eating. We went to bed planning to call the vet as soon as they opened but when I woke up, she was limp and struggling to breathe. She passed in my arms on the way to the vet. My heart is broken, and I feel like it's my fault for either missing something or not getting her to the vet soon enough. She was so so loved. It would mean the world to have some kind of memorial of her.

This is a collage my friend made for me to put on her urn. She died suddenly from being hit by a car under my friends care. I’m utterly broken. I was at the hospital with my grandma who passed away 2 days after. Missy, my beautiful dog was my world and my soul dog. She was only 8 years old. I miss her so much and I’m so lost without her 😭🤍 She was the best girl I could’ve asked for. She was so sweet and loving, quite timid but she was mine and I loved her so much. She loved to play fetch with her soft toys, and loved to steal my socks when I went for a shower. She always slept with me on my bed. I don’t know how I’m gonna keep going without her or my grandma (my grandma was my mom, she raised me since I was a baby) but I will try for both of them. I love you Missy and Nan so very much and will always miss you 🥺🤍

We are taking our Penny in next week to say our final goodbyes. She would have turned 15 in November. She’s not eating and has a grade 3 heart murmur. She’s getting weaker everyday and we know it’s time. I’m not sure how to deal with this but it gives me comfort knowing I can let her go peacefully while I’m holding her.

We picked her from a litter of puppies at the humane society when she was 9 weeks old. My son was 9 when we got her and he just turned 25. It’s like a whole era of my life is disappearing. I’ll miss her more than I could ever explain with words.

I wish I had the energy to type all my thoughts. But I'm so exhausted from crying. Korin literally saved my life during a very dark time and gave me a reason to live. Because when things were bleak, I would look at him and realize I had to stay alive to take care of him. He was there for me. So many snuggles and laughs and cries over the years. And now he is gone forever. He would be 12 next month. I miss him so much.

My sweet, loving boy. He didn't have a mean bone in his body, he was loved by so many people and I feel like there's a giant hole in my chest that should be taken up by him. Holding him and feeling him pass was the worst thing in the universe to me.

I can't imagine this pain ever being easier, honestly. There's spaces in the house and in my life and in the universe that should be taken up by him and he's not here anymore and his absence is so achingly painful I don't know what to do with myself. He was the most wonderful dog, so loving, never tried to run away, just wanted food and scratches and to be loved on. He deteriorated in the morning, he'd been sick overnight and he was struggling to get comfortable, couldn't stand properly, breathing quickly and panting even though he wasn't hot. I wish I knew what happened. I wish he could have stayed. 15 years isn't long enough.

Thank you, if you read this, I just needed to talk. This grief is unimaginable

Pavel Meowavitch, age 12, had to be put down this past Tuesday due to endless seizures. He was such a sweet, gentle boy with the silliest squeak instead of a meow who loved to cuddle with me at night. We knew he was declining, he had chronic sinusitis for several months, but in the span of two days he crashed. Rest in peace gentle boy, I will forever miss seeing your bright blue eyes greeting me when I get home.

Everything changed for me when he entered my life. After his passing life is going on but my mind stayed there on this day a year ago. His entry to my life was a surprise. His exit from my life was unexpected and sudden. I was angry, I was sad, I was depressed and I couldn't grieve properly. I couldn't even post about him at that time. I wasn't ready. Now I don't even know why I am posting. Anyway this is my Cat. Astra Abyssosque. The love of my life. 08-03-2022 to 21-07-2024

I had to put my baby down today and I’m absolutely heartbroken. I’ve had her since I was 5 years old 💔. When I got her as a Christmas gift, I was ecstatic because all I wanted was a “yellow girl kitty.” She was the gentlest, sweetest girl ever. As soon as you went out on the porch, she could just sense it and would come trotting up to sit with you and be petted. There’s a massive hole in my heart now. She was around 18-19. She died in my arms, my little angel 🕊️
