RIP Bear
RIP Bear
I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.
Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.
He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.
We bothered him constantly his last two days, making him absolutely sick of us. We pet and loved him every moment of these last two days, and I held him sleeping on my chest for hours this morning. I don't think he could possibly have been more fed up with our emotional human nonsense if we'd tried. But I stayed with him every last second, and the last thing he could see when his eyes dilated was me.
I will never stop loving my boy.
I'm sorry for your loss. But it sounds like it was a great friendship.
My condolences for your loss.
Clearly, he was dearly loved, and he will be dearly missed. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢 It sounds like you had a very good life together.
I’m sorry for your loss.
15.5 years. Amazing.
Pets pass through our lives, but we are all of theirs. Sounds like Bear had a good life with you. Sorry for your loss.
That's why I refer to myself as Daddy Elf when talking to my pets.
Extremely sorry for your loss. What a treasured loved one you got to have. I'm sure he loved you immensely.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
It sounds like you gave him an awesome life. Cats definitely know when they're loved, it sounds like Bear was lucky for so many good years with you.
So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. My Bear passed back in 2019 and I still think about him daily. I hope that you’re able to find comfort in the peace you gave him in his last days and what sounds like a well live life
Goodbye, Bear 😿
Even at the end, he was a very beautiful boy.
If only we all were as loved. Bon voyage, sweet Bear.
That was hard to read but I'm glad I did. It's obvious you loved him very much. I'm so sorry, OP
Losing a pet is never easy. RIP Bear and my condolences.
So sorry, but glad you got to hold him through the end.
sorry to hear that, stranger. hope your memories last forever and that they bring a smile to your face again
Poor Bear. I wanted to type more, but I feel my throat tensing up and this is an inconvenient time for me to start crying like a baby. 😭
I‘m sorry for your loss
Loving boys like that don't just leave us, they stay with us for as long as we let them, for decades after :'(
There's nothing i could write that could capture how I feel, but you and your boy are perfect.
I dread the day I have to go through this. I have 2 girls. Sisters. Polar opposites. So often I just give them extra extra love and I get a little teary eyed thinking that I'll be without them one day.
It sucks. So much.I'm glad he had a great life.

"I will endure a lifetime of missing you for the privilege of loving you."
Rest in peace, Bear. There's no pain like saying goodbye to a beloved animal and member of the family. My deepest condolences for your loss.
