I’ll miss you buddy. So much.
Sorry everybody, the story is on hold for today because I got a call around midnight that my best friend in the world passed away in his sleep. It was a long time coming, but as prepared as I thought I was, it hurt. A lot. So I dealt with it the only way I knew how. Please grant me this indulgence. Cocoa was my friend through the hardest times of my life all the way through to the happiest moments. I’ll never forget you Beanie Boy. I already miss you more than I can say. I wouldn’t call myself religious and I can’t for sure say what happens when we die, but buddy I hope you’re somewhere and most of all I hope you’re happy there. I hope I get to see you again someday.
I’m so sorry for your loss. In my life I have experienced the loss of many furry family members, both by death and the road of life (getting sold, since my father was a breeder) and needless to say it doesn’t get much easier. We’re even slowly anticipating it now as our beloved chihuahua of 11 years begins to grow weary of age. Even as a very religious (and well read) person I can’t quite say much on that front, since the Bible and most religious texts don’t even mention these friends of ours, at least not directly. That being said, ths best thing that I can say is that memories, although they may fade, will always be with you until the end, and that your friend’s life will live on through that.
I wish you the best.
Thank you so much. Your kind words really help.
so sorry, Joe. it’s so hard to lose a pet, and being aware it’s coming doesn’t steel you from the pain. this comic is a beautiful tribute to your friendship and it brought me to tears. <3 *hugs*
Thank you Kirsten. I had to do it. I got the news and couldn’t go back to sleep. It’s the least I could do for him, y’know?

Had this happen more times than I care to remember. It never gets easier.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry about your loss…
This comic/tribute made me cry, as well…
I hope your pain passes quickly while your memories last forever. :D
