Description I'm sure a few others will appreciate this pic, like , , and my family members. But to be bluntly honest, this isn't for them. Or anyone else.
This is for me. I had to draw it.

I haven't said on here why I'm away, and I wasn't going to. But I guess this pic gives a hint.

A week ago, last Monday, ~Omnosfera2D2 phoned my mothers phone and gave me news that has sent me into a rut of depression: Spirrel died.

I started crying on the phone, and I haven't really been too good since that.
But it gets worse...

Yesterday, I had to take Patch to the vets to have her put down. She had a tumor in her abdomen and the night before she was too weak to push the ball up on her water bottle to drink, so I had to feed her water with a syringe. 5 hours later, she couldn't even manage that. She was so bony, you could feel her ribs and her spine.
The vets wouldn't put her down straight away, only if it "affected her lifestyle". Well, 2 days later she was like that, so I think it fucking affected her lifestyle.

It was heart breaking, and so you can imagine... I'm even worse.
But I have to keep strong for Mimic: Because she is sick too.

I just... I'm grieving, okay? And it's fucking HARD.
I laughed at Supernatural yesterday, as something funny happened, but then I turned to look at my mum who came in the room and my smile went away and my face turned blank. Heh. I don't really know what I'm feeling. Pain, emptyness? Who knows.

Anway.
This picture? I drew every pet I have or have had up until now.

Order:

Cat playing with dogs tail: Lucky. He was my uncles, but I visited all the time and played with him. He'd not let anyone pic him up but me. Here he is: [link] (OLD pic, I know. Taken when I was like, 15.)
Big dog: Shadow. Some of you had seen him on here before. He was like my brother, we had him for 15 years. I loved him so much. [link]
Rat on the floor: Snowball. He liked to bite xD We had him for about a year. [link]
Rat on my head: Squidge. Fucking loved this bugger so fucking much. He'd just sit in my lap or on my shoulder happily. And he'd play with me too. [link] (He's the top one who looks really curious.)
Rat on my shoulder: Mimic. She's still alive, but she is really ill at the moment. She's a scardey cat. I called her Mimic as she kept copying her siblings. [link] (Brown one.)
Rat on other shoulder: Patch. She was the one put down yesterday. She was really friendly and always sat on my shoulder. [link] (White one.)
Rat in my lap: Speckles. He was a scardey cat too. He didn't like being grabbed, but when you got him out of his cage he was fine. I... was the one to find him. [link] (The bottom one.)
Two snakes wrapped around my legs: Snowy 1 and Snowy 2 xDD One got out of it's tank and we couldn't find it. They decided to call the new one Snowy as well =/ But then we found the first one .____. So we had both xD I don't have pics of them. They were pink with white splodges.
Snake at the bottom: Bluey. Playful little critter. I don't have pics of him as we had him SOOOO long ago. He was green with a yellow tummy. He had a blue tongue, hence his name.
Rat licking the cup: Spirrel. She... was forever stealing mine and Stacy's tea. And hot chocolate. And food. And peeing on our phones ._. Silly girl. I loved her so much. [link] [link]
Cat at the top: Myttens. Little bugger has fleas and I'm suffering most with them >/ But I love her (: [link]
Cat next to her: Echoe. You guys know her as =LeFrisbee 's cat xD But Jess keeps calling me her other mama and I love her just like she's mine too <3 [link] (Proud of how I got her looking straight at me xD)
Sleeping dog: Sandy. We had her for about 13 years. She was a wonderful dog. She was so calm and happy. (: I don't have pictures of her sadly. She was a mungrel xD Same colour of *LittleMirai 's Dory though.
Hamster on Sandy: Snowball. I didn't name him, that was already his name. We adopted him from a man my nan knew... after he committed suicide. He was a fesity bugger. No pics sadly, as he never stayed still.
Little dog: Misty. She was my nan and grandads dog, and she was so adorable. She always coughed to get your attention though >> She would only let me pic her up :') [link] (After they got her from the shelter xD)
Lastly, the lizard: Gekki. I love him so much. We can't hold him as he has gotten a little frightened in his old age. But I stroked him the other day :') We've had him for like, 10 years. [link]


Picture belongs to me and all that shit.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It truly isn't easy. And being in the field I am, I'm always seeing someone lose a pet >w< It's really devastating, even if I don't know the person or the animal.
This is a very strong and meaningful drawing <3

Thank you, Sam.
It is really horrible to lose a pet. That's why I changed my mind on the veterinary career. I don't think I'd be able to handle it ;

Thank you <3

This is a really touching picture. All the animals had/are having (for the ones you mentioned who are still alive) a good life. (: Pets are a good stress reliever and actually make people live longer, so they are really the best present anyone could be blessed to have. Though I know how it feels to lose a pet, I had my turtle for 10 years before she died, but that's life...all you can really do is love them until their last day.

RIP to all the pets who are no longer with their owners

I knew exactly which one Spirrel was from the moment I saw her drinking tea... I'm sorry, STEALING, tea ;D haha

I miss her so fucking much... And I know you do too...
Pet's are so heart warming and their deaths are so heartbreaking... but it's so worth it, for the good times, for how much they cheer you up and make you smile.

One time I was crying in my room and Spirrel put her hand on the cage door, I opened it and after a good sniff about she came over to me and climbed on me, and she cheered me up

Gah, I miss her. But she had a wonderful life. I know she did

Yeah... i know she did too <3

I can't say that I completely understand how you feel, but I know that even thinking that some day that my cat is going to pass away some day. I know when he was ill I was so worried. People have a bond with their pets, they are another member of our families. So when they are ill it as heartbreaking.
I hope Mimic will recover. Keep smiling. They need you too.

I know the feeling hon. It's hard, it really is. You put a lot of emotion into this piece and it shows. You did amazing and I know all the animals that are in here have been loved to the fullest and are still being loved to the fullest. Grieve at the beginning but after that, they would want you to remember the good times with them and smile. Because you have an amazing smile and I'm sure it was them that saw it most. So make sure to show them that smile some more because they loved it with their hearts.

Kate, I'm so sorry for your loss... I just had my 13-year-old Golden Retriever put down a couple weeks ago because old age had finally caught up with her, and moving on without her has been one of the hardest things I've done in my life so far... I plan to draw a picture in her memory, and instead of it conveying sadness or hopelessness, I intend to make it as you did with this piece here: peaceful. This is such a cute, simple, and meaningful picture. I hope your little Mimic pulls through!

This drawing is beautiful. It's warm, and soft. It's simple. It's meaningful

I'm so, so sorry to hear about your loss
My condolences.
I understand it's hard to lose a pet, so please, take all the time in the world you need to get yourself back together.

May Mimic get better, and yourself as well.
Please be strong Katie, I love you

It really shows your Love for your Pets.

I'm kind of out of Words to say..and I doubt that there is anything to be said..
But...let me just say that you're probably the strongest young Woman I ever had the Honor to meet.
Life throws so much Shit at you and those you love, but you just...try your Hardest to keep going.
(And I'm in Tears as I'm writing this.)
Stay strong, Hun.

This is amazing. I can feel all the emotion in this picture. I know how much they all meant to you, and this was the perfect way to show it; happy. This picture shows that even though times were hard then, and are hard now, there are memories to smile about and cherish. I love this so much. It means a lot to me, even though that sounds weird.
This is truly amazing.
