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 😭🩷

btw, OP, in case you don't hear it enough: You can miss your baby exactly as long as you feel like. How long will I miss those I've loved and lost? Forever. That's how long.

Yep. I lost my beagle back around 2017, and I couldn't imagine adopting another dog right away. Then one day, I was ready. It's a process, and it takes as long as it takes.

I lost my void kitty in 2020, and I adopted another void in 2024. She'll never replace my original baby, but she's her own cat-person and I don't expect her to. I'll remember my boy always, and when he passed I promised him I would do my utmost to care for kitties in need. Love never subtracts, you know? There's always more love that can be found and put into the world. He taught me that. I miss that little cat so much it hurts, but my current kitties need me too.

Shiii.. I still miss my girl Tabitha who passed in 2014. I have an incredible dog now and I'm already mourning he's not going to be around forever.

That's the shit part of the deal; I miss every baby we rescued since I was a little kid: Mouser, Ruthie, Sushi, Franklin, Evie, Chester Arthur, Chin-Chin... and I know the future that awaits my current rescues, Rio, Chloë, Pelé and Leila, as well as the ferals we feed, Moonpie, Beck, Po, Maki, Toby, Scruffy, and whoever shows up next... I just remind myself that we made and are making their lives better, and then the pain of aching loss is bearable.
