We just had to very unexpectedly put our German shepherd down tonight. Came home from lunch 100% fine. Come home from work, he hadn’t moved from the spot I left him in. Didn’t get up to bark when I opened the garage door.

Walk inside and he was lethargic. His stomach was swollen.

Take him to the emergency vet. They get him right back and within 10 minutes they told me the ultrasound showed a mass in his stomach ruptured. He was bleeding internally.

They said they could do emergency surgery but if he survived that he might live 3-5 months.

We had to make the hardest decision to put Kai down tonight. Totally caught off guard and unexpectedly.

They said there was no way to know he had that mass growing inside him through normal yearly check ups.

He was about 8 1/2 years old born on Valentine’s Day

He was the best boi up until the end.

Thank you so much for such beautiful painting of my sweet baby 🥹❤️ ❤️❤️❤️you captured her eyes and face so well and her teeth made me smile 🥰
It really made my day 💗
I would loveee to get a physical painting of it over the mail 🙏🏼

I would like to request a piece done of her Staffy/Lab mix Gracie. She has bone cancer... she's not coming home. She is the sweetest dog I met. Accepted me when I came here, worried over people if they were sick. She was always gentle with her stuffed toys. A little clumsy on the stairs. Loved sunny days to lay in the sunbeams. I just got the news this night... not even 15 minutes ago that she's not coming home. And I know it would mean the world to my Aunt to see her baby dog immortalized.

This is my princess my best friend my ride or die who I had since age 5 before kindergarten her name is Daisy I am now 21 turning 22 and she passed away she was a tabby cat.She was always there for me. When I was getting bullied in second grade I felt no one loved me but I saw her sleeping next to me and 8 year old me felt happy and liked someone like her atleast loved me. I am a troubled teen survivor and when I was at my rtc she would cry for me every night.We would sleep in the same bed and cuddle every night for 16 years. One time I felt again like I was unlovable and she brought me a dead rat to show me how much she loved me.I have known her since I was a kitten living on a military base.She loved gravy Fancy Feast and was addicted to Churu Packets she also loved Tuna.

Hey there, I've been wanting to honour my girl for a while, and I was going to do it myself but I'm still grieving, and even just looking at these photos are hard. I had her since she was 6 weeks old straight from the SPCA - she was so tiny and sleepy and could fit in the size of my palm (and I was about 10 at this point too so she was really tiny). I lost her back in May and to say that the grieving process has been rough would be an understatement. If someone could do a painting that does my baby justice that would be so appreciated, I will attach a couple different photos below - I just miss seeing her everyday 🖤

My sweet Luna was my best friend for only 8 years but the bond we formed is truly special. Her big round, full-of-love eyes and cute underbite were my favorite thing to look at and it would always make me smile. We loved to go to the beach to watch the sunset together. I miss her so deeply, no words could describe it

This was done so so quickly. This is beautiful. Thank you so much u/ursula_wuffles

Apologies if I have done this repost incorrectly

He was so silly and so snuggly. He always wanted to lay on my chest and suckle on the fabric of my shirts. As soon as I got home he would meow and demand snuggles before I was allowed to do anything else. He also liked to sit/lay in weird positions that seemed uncomfortable, but he would just chill like that for some reason.

I just miss him so much. He was and always will be my baby boy. I miss you so much Juni.

We said goodbye to our sweet boy Oakley recently, after a long battle with kyphosis and a slow decline of his ability to walk. He was a fighter from the beginning and never lost his spunk or silliness. And he was my mom’s baby. She hung the moon in his eyes for over 10 years. He couldn’t handle even being 2 feet away from her.

Two years ago, an incredible artist here was so kind and fulfilled my request for my soul cat that I lost (Callie). It brought me so much comfort to have. I’m hoping to give my mom the same comfort, as she is struggling without her best buddy following her every step. The house is so quiet and strange, without his little snorts and snoring.

Thank you to every artist here for what you selflessly and graciously do. The world could use more kindness like what is always shown here.

Tamarind passed away yesterday on the 18th October 2026. I adopted her from Safe Haven Egypt in 2021. She had a TECA a few years ago and she lost her hearing in her left ear. She loved cuddles and the vacuum cleaner and was a super spicy but very affectionate Tortie. She used to scream so loud to remind you she was there. We love and miss her so much 🕊🖤🐱
