you know there's something wrong with me when i'm grateful work is getting me out of the house 😭

[updatingranboo]

quick mid stream update, ranboo wanted to let us all know their cat, moose, who’s been battling with heart problems for a little while, has been doing really badly recently and had to go back to the vet. ranboo wanted us to know that they don’t know how much longer they have with him, and didn’t want us to be shocked if he does pass soon. 🙁 they could keep him living for a while, but he would be in a lot of pain and discomfort. ranboo and moonzy are looking into other options they have for him, but it’s not looking good. so thankful to ranboo and moonzy for caring so much about our little guy and taking care of him while he’s sick ❤️

Even when you have a hard day just remember, Bucktommy "has anyone ever told you you're a vision in a cone?" will always be there. Tommy Kinard looked at his adorable boyfriend with a silly party hat on and thought Evan, you're beautiful, you're stunning, you're ravishing, you're a sight for sore eyes. I could never get tired of looking at you. I cherish you. There's nowhere I'd rather be than behind this couch at your side. And he was so real for that.

I’m worried that my eldest cat is dying so that’s fucking upsetting. She has a vet appointment on Thursday luckily but I’m scared about what they’ll tell me. She’s always been tiny but within the last few months, she's become skin and bones. She isn't acting like herself, its like she's less aware. I don't know how to describe it. Her name is Emma. She found us when she started living in the garage attic of our former place in Kentucky about ten years ago. She started living in the house with us sometime in the last five years or so and she adjusted very well. We’ve always been close. I love my little girl.

CW Pet Death below the cut.

I mentioned at least somewhere on here that my cat Josie was doing very poorly. Unfortunately, she's passed away today. She had a brain tumor, and we were making her as comfortable as possible. She was nineteen and I love her very very much.

I don't really know what to do. I'll probably write to distract myself. I might not be chatty, though. But I wanted to make some kind of memorial of her. She's been there with me through so much of my life. I want to try to remember her and that she isn't struggling anymore.

My sweet babygirl.

CW ⚠️‼️ MEDICAL TALK AND ANIMAL LOSS

Y’all have been very supportive and caring so I’m giving another update.

My mom is back from emergency surgery and though it’s very painful, she is recovering and I’m taking care of her. We’ve really supprting each other through these hurdles and if nothing else, I can say these things have made us closer and it makes feel better about the future.

Secondly, my puppy is here another night. In a few hours, we’ll be taking her to vet to see what her fate is. I’m growing a bit of hope in my heart that this is some underlying treatable cause, but I know it’s likely just old age. It’s 4:14 as I type this and her appointment is at 8:50. I’ve been staying up all night cuddling and taking some last photos. I’m only just now getting a break to post this and bathe. Thank you for the support y’all. This is about to be a hard day and I hope to be looked after.

Art is hard when Life is Happening but we persist- That's to say I've had a Big Life event happen recently, and a series other things to keep the punches coming. Some context below [ CW death, pet death, uh tooth issues ?]. I want to get back into drawing a bit more regularly- to get back some normalcy in my life. I might start up streaming again, or I might just start posting more whatever doodles here to help keep me on track. But thanks to everyone who has stuck around, and for all the love you've given me and especially my silly little characters.

On July 20th my father passed away. I still don't really know how to cope with it- or process it. I can't rightly put to words how important he was to me, just like the rest of my family. He was always supportive in his own way- encouraging of my art- and was the one who introduced me to the wonders of video games and MUCH more. Then August 3rd, two weeks later, our family dog passed away. I know it will get easier with time, but it's still hard. It all sucks a lot. I've got great friends and a good support system to help me through it, and I'm so thankful for that. So then of course I have to get some dental work done [root canal babeyyy] which was not cheap even with insurance [love that American health care system] and it will need a crown sooner rather than later just to add the cherry on top of this Sundae. I swear it better start going up from here cos I'm starting to run out of pegs to get knocked down from. [ I will be alright, just using a bit of some good ol humor to help cope].

cw pet death

Today I lost my daughter.

Nirre’s situation got worse over the past two days and last night was especially horrible. Unlike last weekend and Monday, she stopped eating and was completely unable to pass stool. We took her to an animal hospital in hopes of finding relief for her only to find out her situation was far worse than what we had learned on Monday. Instead of lymphoma, she had a very aggressive bone cancer and it was all over her body. Bone cancer happens only about 0.05% in cat cancer cases, so it was like winning a fucked up lottery. We still haven’t received the lab results taken on Monday, but her x-ray showed it was worse on her back legs and had even spread to her left lung. Just a couple of weeks ago she didn’t even have those two tumors between her legs (each about the size of an egg, we literally noticed them last week and we had been keeping an eye on her) and now it was everywhere. They asked if we would like to take her home for one last time, but we decided to let her go then and there. She was in pain but went to eternal slumber peacefully. She was only 10 years old.

Nirre was such a lovely girl. everyone who met her loved her and she was so full of love, she was known to head-butt you with such force it almost broke your nose. At the hospital, they didn’t even need to sedate her to get the X-ray done, she was so gentle and kind, even in pain. Due to her illness, she went quickly and thankfully she didn’t need to suffer for long. We took her and her siblings out on a leash on Tuesday and she was then still very playful and ate well. She slept next to me that night and last night she finally calmed down and slept next to my wifey.

We got her and her brother Therre when wifey and I had just about begun dating (a year into our relationship) She used to be very shy and sounded like a little bird when she meowed until she got bigger and her lovely sound turned into shrieks which kept me awake at night when she was looking for someone to play with her. She was a beautiful soul and she is still loved.

Last week has been rough, mentally and money-wise. I haven't slept well and I’m crying as I’m writing this. We miss her, but it was better to let her go than let her suffer any longer. We miss her terribly and I know things will get better, I will remember how she loved and I do not regret having her even though I wish I could have her back. It’s hard to lose a pet you care greatly for, it’s painful, but it’s still worth it. I love Nirre and she will always be in my heart and took a part of with her as she passed.

My many thanks to all who wished us the best and to end things on a positive note, I would like to know about your pet, one either still with you or one past that rainbow bridge. I’ve shared about mine and I would like to know your favorite or memorable memory about yours like Terry Pratchett wrote: “A man is not dead while his name is still spoken” and maybe sharing their stories could keep them here a little while longer.

RS update will come late this evening, sorry for the delay.

Star started acting off on Friday; I knew something was wrong. We had a vet appointment for today, but he passed away yesterday before I could get him in. I imagine it probably was the heart condition his entire litter had (every single one of them had it), but I bottle raised him so uhhh

I was a complete wreck yesterday. Sorry for anyone I was strange to.

I'm doing better today, but spoons still very low.

Thanks for patience.

[lover-of-skellies]

I need,, some advice (once again)

@ anyone who's owned a gerbil or rodent in general: how do you help them get better from a super bad ear infection? Like... to the extent that there's pus and it makes the entire room smell like the bowels of hell itself

It's my room that's being stunk up, and it smells worse than my cat's litter box after I've given him wet food. My sibling doesn't want the gerbil upstairs in their room because they have health concerns about the gerbil (the gerbil herself is super old), but she's been in my room for more than a year now

I feel like an ass for wanting the gerbil out of my room because she's very old and sick and might die soon, but the smell is so bad that it's starting to make me feel unwell, I stg

[autisticaradiamegido]

no art again today. after losing my grandma last week i have just lost my dog and i am not really sure what is gonna be my best coping mechanism atm. basically just expect art to be maybe a little sparse and unpredictable in the coming days while I am readjusting to uhhh. all of this. or maybe i will wake up tomorrow and be suddenly caught by the desire to draw for hours and hours without stopping! i really can't say for sure.

but you're all very compassionate and understanding about this shit every time i have to go awol for a bit and i would like you to know i appreciate the hell out of that.

To my little old lady,

Pookie, you got me through so much in highschool and I'm sorry after I moved I didn't come home to visit you more often. I will cherish these last 4 days with you. I will sit by you as I play videogames on my crappy little Chromebook.

I wish I could spend more time with you. I wish you weren't slipping from me so quickly. You've gotten so skinny, your strong loud meow has mellowed, your purr is weak and we have to carry you to your food and litter. Yet you cuddle so lovingly, you butt your head against our hands the best you can muster. You may be weak but you're happy. And I hope you'll be happy still when I hold you in my arms for the last time.

How I had the oddest shittiest day in so fucking long today

Trigger warning for pet death if you don't have this blocked, but I have to vent for a bit.

I had to put my Epsilon to sleep tonight, my "little brother", the cat I lived with since I was 9. He was barely reacting to his surroundings and kept crying out loud because of his failing kidneys. We knew he was probably his last year but we didn't want to have to bring him to the vet ER for that. He was just 14 years old and I hate how angry I am right away. Angry as I'm scared he was depressed because of the stray cat stealing what's left of his food for months and now sneaking in our house to sleep on places Epsi likes, because his owner doesn't seem to even feed that cat, and that now we can't bear to take that cat in. Angry because of how I talked of my cat just this evening saying an older cat was doing better than him health wise without knowing it was even his last evening. I'm so sorry Chachou.

cw for pet loss but i think the saddest thing in the world is that when your cat dies you still find their fur around the house for quite a while after. and then one day you notice that you haven’t found any in a while and it’s completely earth shattering

CW ⚠️‼️ pet loss and medical talk

Hey y’all. I have a final update for my puppy.

We took her to the vet at 8:50 this morning and found out she had liver cancer. We loved on her, petted her and talked to her to the very end. The vet suggested we just let her go and put her out of her misery. I’m tearing up inside, but I’m also trying to remember that a dog like her happens once every thousands of years and I should just feel blessed that it happened. Thank y’all for the support.
