    Every so often I tell my pets, who are no longer with us, that I still love them and always will.

    One of my cats had two little plush toys she loved cuddling with. She was cremated with one, and I keep the other on my desk - it’s a nice reminder to just how awesome she was.

    On my very sad days I just try to remember that they wouldn’t want me to be sad. They would do everything in their power to make me feel better when I was feeling low, and the thought that my dishevelled state would cause them such grief if they were here is enough to make me have a better perspective.
    It is okay to cry when it’s needed too, though.

    God fucking dammit, that was my dog’s name.

    Two fucking years without her, and I still can’t fucking see the name without crying.

        All things being relative, of course.

        I haven’t even been tortured yet!

    My cat Luna died five years ago next week. She was the best cat that ever existed and there’s still a hole in my heart.

    :(

      Grief is love.

      And since she was loved, she had a good life.

      So don’t just weep that she’s gone, but also remember to smile for all the good times you had together.

      I know it sucks and I k ow this can be annoying to hear but you were very lucky to have Luna and should feel thankful more than sad. But it’s okay to be sad too. Sending you some good energy. I’m going to be torn apart when my cat Goobers time is up.

    This one isn’t depressing to me. Like yeah, sad for the dog, but it’s actually a kinda uplifting message. The “second death” thing is actually something gives me comfort.

      Yeah. It would have been depressing if the name was only on the tattoo and he was saying the wrong name. Maybe make him old as well to imply dementia. Hell, make it a cat tattoo and have him specify “You weren’t a good boy, but the best boy” to imply a dog and really drive it home.

      I dunno. Just spitballin’. But I agree, as it stands, it’s more sentimental than sad.

    I’m not a spiritual dude really, but went out a walk along my old dog’s favourite route today, from back when he was alive, and there were times I swear I could feel his presence. He was a really good boy.
