Thanks, OP.

I'm just about crying, but it's good to feel - shows how much they matter.

Thats a very ideal picture of a corpse thats been buried in the ground without a coffin that deep. Must have used one hell of an embalmer.

Also yeah me and the family still miss and talk about the dead pets. You never forget your loved ones and keep the memories alive.

Didn't want to risk him digging out.

I’ve scrolled past this like 10 times today and almost cried every time.

You are not alone pal...

This is why I can't bury them anymore. my childhood home will likely be sold and moved out of in the next year or 2, ending 2 generations of our family living there. 3 of my childhood pets are there, and I'm not about to be the freak who gets them back.

Its hard, to look at the boxes with their ashes. There have been too many taken too closely and too soon, too tragically, but they can always come with me. They're always home.

I feel that. My dad sold my childhood home after my mother's passing and moved out a few years ago. I had not lived there for 25 years or so, but three of my cats were buried in the yard because I lived in rentals during that time. The last walkthrough through the house was of course emotional, but strolling through the yard past the trees where I put the little furballs to rest really hit me.

I drew Pickles on my phone to forever remember her. She is still my world.

I walk past your tree every day my sweet Ganon.

Ganon looks so much like Roy, whom I rescued years ago, but had to rehome. I'm sorry for your loss.

I have that desk and huge books lifting my big monitor. I buildlt a keyboard extender to handle my flight stick and throttle. Not bad for 50 bucks.

Never stopped thinking of you, Luna. Thank you for being my best friend for 17 years. Miss you everyday. ♥️

My son is 3 and goes over to the pear trees where we buried 2 pets in the past 2 years.

Our cat Bruce and our bearded dragon CJ.

He still feels a need to take care of them. He was "in charge" of feeding the lizards so every one in a while he grabs lettuce from the fridge and tries to take it outside for her. While he's over there he says stuff like "pspsps Bruce wanna play with me" and it fucking obliterates me every time.

Bruce was his best friend, he would do his bed time routine with us everynight and loved my son so much. I'm suprised he even remembers him since he was so young but their immediate bond was really special.

Bruce was the name of my cat buddy when I was younger. I still miss him so much. I'm glad you got to love a Bruce too!

I'm getting stuffed animal versions made of my pets before they pass so I have something to snuggle when I reminisce about them one day.

I’m 42 and have my first pet since I graduated high school and moved out, leaving our family dog with my parents, and I’m already dreading this. I love her so much and it’s weird knowing this is just something I/we all sign up for.

Nikki, Socks, Porgy, Tails, Bandit, Rex, Francis, Snowfire, Jasmine, and Santa... Fuck I've had a lot of cats. I feel like I forgot one, too. ☹️
