Not An Update

I don't think I'm going to be updating Demigods of Valyria any time soon.

Yesterday, April 23rd, I had to put my cat, Xena, down because she was suffering from absent seizures and if I had brought her home she would have died in pain and I couldn't do that to my baby. I miss her.

When she was 6 months old we rescued her because she had severe wobbly cat syndrome so she couldn't walk. My parents let me keep her even though we were originally going to give her to a kennel that could take of her.

For 2 years she has been my baby, my princess, my pretty girl, my everything and now shes gone. Ive been suicidal for years and for the past 2 shes been one of the few things I lived for.

I'm tired. I can barely think of her name without sobbing, i cant look at my other cats without just collapsing because I miss her so much.

I miss how when I talked she'd respond. I dont have any recordings of her voice.

I couldnt sleep in my own bed last night because she always slept with me and I cant stand being in my room because it hurts so much.

I'm sorry.

If you and your partner had a pet that was previously owned by one of your exes, but there's lots of drama surrounding that past. Would you reach out to that person when the pet passes to inform or offer paw prints? Or is that no longer something to inform them on. (See below for more info)

For further context, the ex grew up with the pet and left him when they moved. The pet is declining, and I don't believe he will be around for more than a year. My heart feels bad if I don't reach out as i would want to know. But there's so much drama in the past I don't want to open the door for more again. I feel like there's no right answer either way. I'm somehow going to get bit in the ass 🙃

Posting this for my soul cat Kenzie (she passed a few years ago but I still think of her every single day) and for everyone else who has lost someone they love. ❤️

Good-bye, my favorite place. Good-bye, my beloved person.. I will always be by your side. Please, Do not forget it. さよなら僕の大好きな場所。 さよなら僕の愛しい人… どうか忘れないで。僕はずっとあなたのそばに居ます。

I dedicate this post to people grieving by pet loss.

I had to let my baby go. My mind is just so mentally exhausted and drained. The way I just want to sleep for a few days straight. My heart can’t handle anything more. I just wanna be with her again.

To top off this shitty day, I’ve had a 3 day long migraine that is making me sick and nauseous.

When all your thoughts are running through your mind and all you want is the comfort of your dog- only to remember that he isn’t here anymore. I’m so mentally drained, exhausted and feeling like I can’t handle it anymore.

I’m having some of the most vivid memories of my traumas and I can’t stop crying about it. I feel so lost, I thought that I’d be able to handle my thoughts. I miss the old me before everything. My mind is just too much sometimes.

Recently, a close friend lost their dog.

Her name was ‘Too Many’, as she was the stray and her addition to the family officially meant they had too many dogs.

I wrote a poem for her

Poem for Too Many, A Good Dog.

I’m a good dog

I will take myself

Out into the woods

To lay my head down softly

Don’t yell for me

This time I can’t come

The paper I originally scribbled it down on.

And a picture of Too Many.
