I am so terribly sorry. Want to give you all the hugs.

Hugs....big hugs

I’m so sorry that you don’t have people around you who understand. Big hugs to you. Take your time healing, okay?

I can't say anything more than being so sorry, Beagles are the cutest!

It is so hard when your friend passes away. (Because that is what a long term pet is, right? A best friend.) When Pupper Smuttins passed away, we were absolute wrecks for weeks. It is normal. Cry. Take your time. I hope that you can grieve for your friend, and after awhile, when it feels possible, consider that their…

I’m so, so sorry for your loss. People who don’t understand what pets mean to us are cold-hearted and not worth listening to right now.

*positive vibes to you* Pets are members of the family, and the grief is real. I’m so sorry, and I hope things get easier for you.

I’m so sorry - it’s so much harder than people give it credit for to lose a pet. It’s been a year since we lost our Rosie, and I still tear up thinking about how much I miss her. Hugs to you!

Such tough stuff to lose a fur-baby. I’m so very sorry, big hugs to you. You were his world- what a great thing you did adopting Hoagie when he was middle-aged. And you must have done a great job taking care of him, 16 years is nothing to sniff at! Give yourself the time and space you need to feel your loss. Go easy…

So sorry for your loss. It is very frustrating to mourn your life partner (because that is what they are to me, NOT PETS, but like, partners I am sharing my life with) and have people not understand it. The universe SHOULD stop, even if it just for a goddamn second and acknowledge that something critical has been lost.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I work at a tight knit nonprofit and my coworker put his 15 year old therapy dog down this afternoon. The idea that she won’t be at my feet every lunch hour, begging salami or French fries off me, or unzipping my tent in search of a sleeping bag to nest in, is breaking my heart, even though…

I feel ya. I'm so sorry for your loss. Some pets I’ve lost caused me the more grief than when human relatives died. The trust and love one can build with a pet is just unparalelled. Your grief is not without reason, and you should tell anyone who says it’s no big deal to fuck off. Whenever I lose a dog I always feel…

I’m so, so sorry. :(

Took my cat to the vet yesterday. She’s been having trouble eating, puking what little she does eat. She’s lost a pound and a half since her last visit. She has visibly less muscle mass on her legs and doesn’t jump up onto a book shelf where she used to spend the majority of her nap time.

Anyone here deal with friends who had horrible boyfriends? Here’s my situation. I have a friend who has shared some horrific stuff with me about her relationship. I hadn’t seen her in a few weeks and we got together for another friend’s bday dinner about three weeks ago. At this dinner, my friend told me that her…

Ok looking for some good suggestions. I recently (couple of months ago) ended the madness of an eight year relationship. Going to be the first time spending Christmas alone in as many years. I don’t have close family and friends are scattered. I’m feeling particular lonely and can barely make it through Walmart ( the…

Women in America are taught to love mediocre white men and that’s him in a nutshell.

it comes off as an unreasonable distrust and dislike for men.

No. Those things affect ALL women, and they’re all women’s concerns. Her individual experience does not negate the society-wide effect of men being facilitated and enabled in their desire for committing violence against women.

I’m frankly just not concerned with that. These sorts of sexual activities will go on whether I care about that or not, as they always have. Women having fantasies of being the rapist is a different animal, because that’s a subversion of reality and has very different effects both on the individuals involved, and on…
