Adding both of your memorial babies right now!

I'm sure no one would mind if you added their pets to Beau Alex's page. I've been adding all of those pets that have crossed the rainbow bridge to my own memorial pet's page. After all, the original idea of this thread was because I wasn't able to find pet friends for my own memorial pet. It's become so much more than that now though!

This thread is such a comfort. Thank you. I will start adding friends for my little love right away.

Idk if this counts but Twists is actually inspired by the rainbow bridge :)

It's wonderful that you have a pet inspired by the Rainbow Bridge, but this thread is more for people's real-life pets that they've created here on Subeta to remember them by. I'm sure, if you wanted to in the future though, no one would mind if you added all of the pets that have been listed here to Twists' pet friends though.

Today at 1:12 PM, my oldest cat Whiskers passed away at 21 years of age. I am 23 so I've had her almost my entire life. My whole body hurts from crying. My family has provided constant care to her since she became completely dependent a few years ago. Near the end of May she got sick and I started staying up all night with her to make sure she was cared for. She has had ups and downs since then, declines and recoveries, but today was her final battle. She was given pain relief medicine and passed at home, on the couch, as we petted her.

Everything we did revolved around her. I'm holding my plushie that I named after her as a child. I instinctively checked on her when she wasn't there anymore. I feel lost. I want to improve

Sending you many, many virtual hugs. :(

Thank you very much for the sentiments <3

When I would be with her, I would sit with her all day while my parents mostly took care of her, then at night when they went to bed I would take care of her. At 4 AM my dad would get up again to take care of her so I could sleep.

I have always slept while waking up multiple times to reposition. A few times when I would try to sleep after taking care of her I would wake up confused and panicked. IDK if it has anything to do with my hypnopompic hallucinations (hallucinations and confusion when waking up in the night) but for some reason I would think that I was supposed to have her with me. I would search the bed before realizing that it didn't make any sense and that she was in the living room with my parents.

Now that she's gone I had the same thing happen last night. There was so much panic and confusion behind it that I got out of bed and turned the light on, feeling in my covers and looking around. Then the time I usually realize it didn't make any sense, I remembered, she's already been buried.

I haven't slept very well since she's been gone. Sorry for rambling, I wasn't really going anywhere with this. The loss is still harsh. :(

Sorry it took me a bit to reply, I've never been good with wording. 😅

No worries for rambling, It's very easy to when it's about loved ones. I can empathize some with how disorienting it can be when you've just lost a furbaby that was very dependent do to health - when my baby girl Saria was losing her battle with cancer we were with her constantly -- but I can't imagine how hard it is with your additional struggles in the night and having to experience something so frightening. :(

I know it's not for everyone, but I think the only way I functioned after losing my Saria (I got her as a kitten when I was nine and she was with me for a decade) was bringing home a kitten the next day because I had no idea how to even be without having that feeling of being needed and there for an animal. The kitten helped one of my other furbabies adjust with the loss as well. It still hurts years later and it hits me at odd times.

I hope you've managed to snag at least a couple days of good rest. :(

my Smokey Joe is my memorial pet .... we had Smokey for 10 years and he was definitely our baby. Smokey was a cat and as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to turn my memorial pet into an angel <3 https://subeta.net/petinfo.php?petid=5923191

Adding Smokey Joe to the list. I hope you can afford an angelic potion for him soon!

It's alright, and thank you for the gift. <3

I'm sorry about your Saria. I agree.. I think that cat people need to be with cats. Since my Whiskers is gone we still have two other adult cats that we can better focus on. My parents have had cats since before I was born and I've been with cats all my life, so I couldn't imagine not having one.

I've had insomnia over the past few days but I'm not sure that it's related to the loss. I still dream about her and again last night... I'm trying to get my sleep back on schedule. Hopefully tonight will be the night.

thank you, it seems slow, but I'll get there

What a sweet idea :)

My pet Arthos is still alive (thank God). He's a Sweetheart Hikei, but in real life he is a nearly 10 years old Doberman. So I'm happy to not join the list for now.

Hugs and kisses!

My cat Wemay passsed, hence my pet being Angelic <3

Our family budgie, Beth died today. I knew we probably weren't getting another bird any time soon, and would possibly get rid of her things. I wanted to remember her in some way. So I created the pet

Apologies for not getting back with any of you until now. I've been a bit busy as of late. Adding all of your memorial babies to the list though!

Glad to hear he's alive and well, I've added him to the list, with an italicized name of course!

Adding Wemay right now, I'm sure she was a fantastic cat.

I am so sorry for your loss earlier this month, I'm sure she was an amazing bird. I'm really glad we can memorialize our pets here on Subeta. I know, for me at least, it does help the healing process.

She was... thank you so much <3

:) She was a great girl. It does help the healing process. Every time I walk past where her cage still sits, or even walk into the house I want to whistle to her. But then I remember, and I haven't really been able to whistle since.

Mine isn't finished yet (I'm still in the drafting phase) but my pet Zenon will become a tribute pet to my family's sweet border collie whose name was Candi. I'm keeping Zenon's name, mostly because every variation of Candi's name I could think of isn't available on here anymore, but that's okay. I'll update you when I'm finished with Zenon's profile.

1. Pet's full subeta name:
   Flosh
2. Species that your real life pet was Cat

It's going to be so painful seeing her name here every day, since Flosh is my first and main pet here. She died last night. She was 16 years old, and my only cat. I'm a mess right now. She hadn't been doing great lately, she was very very skinny (litterally her ribs were sticking out), but I couldn't get her to eat decently for months. Vet gave special gels and fattening food, I kept feeding her favorite creme snacks (not super healthy but almost the only thing she would eat without a problem, and at least she ate something) but she kept getting thinner. I knew she probably wasn't going to make it till the end of the year, so I kept a close eye on her for the last few weeks, making sure she wasn't in pain. I was dreading the moment that I would see her in pain and having to take her to the vet. "Luckily" it didn't come to that, she died at home while I was with her, I had her paws in my hand and kept talking to her while she slipped away.

Her profile is messed up since subeta worked on the site, so I should finally get that fixed, but I don't know how. Sorry for the wall of text, I needed to write this down somewhere. I'm completly heartbroken, my face is red and swollen from crying most of the night, I've never been alone in my appartment, she moved in with me, and now it's so empty.
