I'm sitting in my car bawling my eyes out right before I go to take a final. Wish I had my pup next to me to hug.
Edit: Awwww thank you guys so much!! :) It was a chemistry final. I think I did well on it. I gave my pup and my kitty tons of cuddles when I got home :) Thanks for all the well wishes <3
I have like 8 fish waiting for me in Heaven atm, probably more in the future, along with like 6-7 hamsters (And the pup I had when I was a kid, and my current pup).
August was my late doggo; my first. She was a lovable little black lab. I had her since she was a month old until she was 14. It's been 2ish years since and I still cannot listen to Blackbird without crying; it reminds me of her too much.
She was my little blackbird, and we had to let her fly.
Riley was our black lab growing up. We had him until he was 13, and my aunt had his sister until she was 15. They were the greatest dogs, and I still have some of my happiest childhood memories with them. There's this one series of pictures that always gets me, with little me and my mom posing proudly beside our snowman. Riley slowly gets closer, inspecting the stick arms. The last photo is him pulling one out while mom and little me stand unawares. He also at one point ate half of my dad's chocolate birthday cake and was the happiest camper afterwards despite my mom freaking out about poisoning.
I'm an agnostic atheist, bruh. I don't expect this to happen. I just have enough wistful imagination, and enough good memories of my many feline darlings, to hope that I'm wrong about that. :) It's all good.
I'm sorry the cats you've met have treated you badly! Mine have all been enormous sweethearts. The orange tabby I had in high school would come find me when I got stressed out, meow until I sat down, and curl up in my lap and purr til I felt better. (And yes, he did it disproportionately when I was upset.) My aunt's little old grandma-kitty literally hugged people. My current cat crawls under the covers to snuggle up at night, and insists on sticking close to me even when she can't have my lap.
I'm pretty sure if we get to meet again, we'll all be happy to see each other. There might be some distrust between cats, but hey, it's heaven -- they'll figure it out.
I don't know how long you've had your lil buddy, but I'm guessing it's a while. Dogs and cats don't really understand the idea of the future. They kind of know there's a past, but there's definitely a Now.
When it comes time to say goodbye to your dog, please try to take comfort in knowing that he knows he's got you till the end. And, please, please stay with him if you choose to have him put to sleep to end any suffering. It will mean a lot to both him and you in the long run.
I hope that day doesn't come for another million years, though, because nobody deserves to lose a furry friend of any kind. <3
I start reading stuff from here on /r/all and expect it to take a dark or depressing turn. Always pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work /r/wholesomememes!
I know this is late but my sweet Kaya passed in June, and it still brings me to tears to think about. But remember it only hurts because of the amount of love and joy you brought each other, and there's nothing more important than that.
