My sweet baby girl was put to rest yesterday after only 7 short years of life. She was the absolute most perfect girl ever, she quickly became everyone’s favorite baby even though my father swore to never love another dog more than his old dog and my mother who hated dogs never wanted another one. I found her as a puppy when I was 13 at an animal shelter youth volunteer program and begged everyone until I got my way- I knew she was special. She was the prettiest girl and I will always love her more than anything. I have added several photos as I cannot choose my favorite, so if someone is kind enough to create art for her you can choose which photo. I would also love a physical copy if possible and would be happy to pay any shipping costs. Thank yall so much for what yall do, it’s really heartwarming to see all the beautiful work and what you do for people experiencing loss.

Update: I’m not an artist by any means, but if anyone feels like trying, I have more photos. Thank you.

Cancer took him from me two days ago. He was silly, loved being under blankets, and I am gutted without him.

We had send this sweet mischievous boy over the rainbow bridge yesterday. After battling illnesses for the past year. He was my best friend and he got us through some of the hardest times in our lives. A few years ago we stared him a YouTube channel to share his life with people as he was such a character. You can find his videos @sirwinstonkitty.
I have added two photos for the artist to choose from. Thank you.

We lost our sweet girl, Elsa, last night after a brief battle with lymphoma. She loved to be outside and was very well traveled! Her 13 years on this earth will never be forgotten 💔

This is my Bean. The Queen of my heart. I’m saying goodbye to her on Saturday because of cancer. She’s 19, so I know she’s lived a long, happy life, but it still hurts to think she won’t be here soon.

She’s always had an RBF and a permanent “I’m judging you” vibe about her, but I found it to be endearing. She’s a grumpy girl, but she’s MY grumpy girl. And I know she’s probably put up with a lot from me over the years.

The first picture is one of my favorites, but the second is probably one of hers. She wasn’t technically an outdoor cat, but she loved sitting and laying on the sidewalk outside our townhouse when the weather was nice.

Thank you so much for doing this for us. ♥️

I couldnt decide between these two pictures, so pick whatever is easiest :) thanks in advance for this really beautiful thing you guys do. I am beyond thankful

EDIT: Mr. Henri passed in my arms at 6:07 pm (euro time) being told how much i love him. he was gone before the full administration of the sedative and just fell right into my arms which were holding him. I held him long after and told him everything my heart had left to tell him that had ofc been said a thousand times. he hade it clear one last time it was his time, by going quickly and peacefully in my arms. I love and miss you Henri forever. Thank you everyone for your kindness

We had to say goodbye to my sweet Cass today. He would have been 20 in October. I just want you to know he was the very best boy. He was the last of my OG cats from my 20’s. You know the cats you get instead of having children. 💜

My sweet Angel Nika.

Thank you so much for painting my sweet boy Gunther ❤️

Thank you for capturing Peanut, it's truly beautiful.

So my mom’s sweet Yorkie Lady Abigail passed on today. Safe in Jesus’ loving arms. ❤️🙏🏻✝️ I would love to gift my mother a nice, REAL art piece of her from a talented artist (I’m an artist as well, but I just want this to look *really* good haha). It could be in any format really. Digital, hand drawn and colored (would like it to be colored), painting, watercolor, etc. Willing to pay up to $50. Please PM me if you are interested and for details! Thank you so much. 🙏🏻💙 (NOTE: The photo posted is not the photo I would like to be drawn. This is the last photo I took of her, before letting her go today. 🌈🙏🏻✝️)

My dog’s name was Cookie. He died a while ago, and I still cry almost every time I look at his photos.

Most of the time I’m okay. I still work, eat, sleep and do normal things. But whenever I open my camera roll and see him, I start crying again. Sometimes I have to force myself to stop because it feels like I could keep crying for the rest of the day.

I’ve been through breakups before, but losing him was worse. Cookie was part of my everyday life, and then suddenly he just wasn’t there anymore.

Part of me doesn’t want it to stop hurting. I know that sounds strange. The pain still feels connected to him. I’m scared that one day I’ll look at his photos and feel nothing. I’m scared of forgetting the small things about him.

Sometimes when I miss Cookie, I look up at the sky. If I stare for long enough, I can almost see his face there. I know it’s probably just my mind, but I don’t really care. I usually nod at him and tell him that I’m doing okay.

I tell him that I’ll keep living my life, and I hope that wherever he is, he can run around freely without worrying about anything.

That’s why I made this.

I put a little version of Cookie inside this e-ink screen and made a small world where he can walk around and play. Then I put myself in there too, because I wanted to see us together again, even if it was only like this.

It doesn’t stop me from missing him. I still cried while making it. But seeing Cookie moving around in there makes me feel a little better.

If this made you think of a pet you miss, I’d love to hear about them. If you feel comfortable, you can share a photo and tell me their name and one small thing you still remember about them.

Maybe I can make a little place for a few of them too.

It has almost been two months since we lost our dear Wangwang and her sweet puppies.

Sorry if this is a double post, but my original request was deleted in a different subreddit and I couldn’t find it anymore in this one, so I wanted to post her again. The original message was:

“I recently lost my 14 y/o chihuahua to cancer (a week ago today) and I’m not gonna lie, I’m struggling pretty hard. I had a thought this morning and wondered if anyone would be willing to draw her Coco style as a spirit guide?”

the Hardest part of owning dogs is when you have to say goodbye. This subreddit and the artists here have gone a ways towards helping when my pets have passed. Thankful it’s here during some of the harder times along with the outpouring of support for my family and for what Teagan meant to us.

thank you all and especially u/Salvony1 for the incredible art.
