Chewy has the best customer service I’ve ever encountered, staffed by kind people who have always been wonderful to speak to. Whenever I’ve had a problem, they’ve always helped me. Many times, I needed to ask for refund on something, and they always said yes—donate the item if I could.

Today, I can home to this beautiful portrait of my baby and a very sweet card of condolences. My heart is full.

If you have a pet, I highly recommend buying from them. They have good prices, and they offer discounts if you subscribe.

On the topic of pet loss, I drew this comic after my sweet Goopy passed away. I have a working list of art ideas, and for 5 long years at the very top of my idea list was “Comic where I take Huey and Goop to McDonald’s that ends with no punchline.” Every time I wanted to draw something I’d see that idea first, but always kept pushing it back for another time. When Huey passed away I thought about just deleting it, cause I felt like it was too late to draw it, and reading it made my heart hurt. But I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it, so taking them to McDonald’s remained at the top of the list. Then, about a year later, I lost Goop to cancer. It came out of nowhere, and within two weeks he was gone. Almost all of my prompts were about him, I loved drawing Gooby. I was so distraught I couldn’t even turn on my work computer and face it. And when I finally felt good enough to draw again, there was that prompt staring back and me. And I thought, you know what? Fuck it, it’s never too late to take them to McDonald’s. If I can’t see them in life, I want to see them in art. I don’t want to stop loving them the way I do now. So, I took Huey and Goop to McDonalds, with no punchline.

Hey beans,

I just want to thank you all for your patience during my grieving period. I'm slowly getting better, and I'm trying to get my mind off of all the heart ache, but you know how it goes, everything still stings and hurts.

I plan on making a little flower jar for Baby Girl as a memorial, since she lived in the woods and loved running through the puddles and creeks the rain would leave behind.

It'll help with my grief and also just make a pretty little memorial piece to have in my room to remember her by. Again, thank you all so much for understanding and being patient and sweet with me, I love you all very much! This was just an update to how I was doing, hopefully I can get back in the groove of things!

Hi Tracy, i wanted to ask a somewhat personal question. How do you deal with losing beloved pet? I recently lost my 9-year-old tortie a month ago to kidney failure and GDV and even though i still got three other babies to dote for (and they're all lovely), it's really hard to feel as much love as i did with my tortie. She was my first cat and was incredibly loving and patient with, helped me immensely while grieving for my father's passing a few years ago.

With her gone, it really does feel like a lot of me also went with her. It makes living very hard. I made tiny sculpture and wood soldering in her memory but i don't really know how to deal with the actual emptiness inside me. Sorry for the word vomit but i figured since you also lost a precious cat before, you might have insight for this situation

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved tortie.

I don't have any special skills for dealing with death, really, but I suppose I can speak a bit about personal experience.

I think it's natural to feel a yawning emptiness when something so intimately intertwined in your life - a constant companion, a source of joy, something around which your daily schedule is structured - is suddenly gone. It can be a very lonely sort of grief too, as the loss of a pet doesn't generally come with the same community and ritual that human death does. To others, your dear companion was perhaps just an animal. Not to equate it with human death in the broader scheme, exactly, but it can mean personal devastation, compounded by being alone in coping with it. Societally, we probably do ourselves some significant harm believing we must rapidly "get over" losses like this.

There's no getting-over-it that I know of, anyway, but there is the knowledge that the nature of grief changes over time (it sounds like you're no stranger to that). The stormy waves that knock you about with the immensity of the loss gradually give way to more placid waters. The sadness remains, but grows gentler and maybe sweeter even, because it creates a quiet space to reflect on the pet that enriched and graced a chapter of your life with their presence.

In the meantime, while awaiting some peace, I personally find there's an analgesic effect to making the feelings of grief actionable. The meditative nature of art and the act of memorializing a companion animal won't fill in that void, but it can help you start to process and accept it, to find a way to transmogrify it into a repository for your feelings and memories of love. I'd say keep making sculptures, make a scrapbook, draw a picture of her - anything, if it puts you in a different state of mind as you're doing it.

Looking after animals that are in need of care and attention in the moment, even if you feel emotionally distant, might help you regain some footing too. Setting up shelters for feral cats and fostering rescues are some things I like to do. There's a sort of grounding, self-rescue interwoven in focusing some energy on the living.

Most of all, grant yourself time. Do yourself the kindness of not feeling bad about feeling bad. Mourn without believing you must rush to find a cure for the sadness.

If, however, you are suffering or finding it impossible to function day to day, please do reach out to seek qualified counseling.

(pet death)

Yesterday we said goodbye to our big friend Baldr. I adopted him from a rescue in 2013. He helped me through my 20's and got the best life a dog could ask for. He had so many friends and adventures. I'm glad he isn't hurting anymore, but we'll miss him forever. I'm proud of how I cared for him. He was in great health for most of his life until his mobility got too difficult. He didn't have many bad days. He deserved all the good days. Rest in peace my big goob, we love you so.

some old rat art. it's cute but the story behind it is kinda sad - last year i adopted two rittens, but sadly one of them died within a week. so i drew him meeting my late heart rat fudge, who also died too early to cope

this is unlike the stuff i usually post, but wanted to share. it's from a project i started a few days ago. (i've felt like testing sth like this for a longer while—just some loose lines, little critters i love, and warm words.) 🧡

unrelated and not, our beloved cat passed away yesterday morning. i'd just happened to draw this the day before we said goodbye. so i feel like it's for her. ❤️

#pet loss #pet death #art #cats #i miss her so so much. #the way she shaped my whole every day life. and not a day passed when i didn't kiss her a hundred times.. #it comforts me we really gave her everything we could. and she sure gave us everything she could. #a little guy's love can really be something so huge. #if u've been around u must know that i just really love cats... well #she really multiplied that love and was/is a big source of it.. #so for every cat post ive made and make i wish u know that behind those was/is a lil babygirl who #i loved so dearly and by whom i was so dearly loved in return! #i really miss you Minni. i wish i could hold you. Love you forever. ♥️♥️♥️
