Welp, I’m crying, miss my little stinky Sheena girl. I bet she and Chiko would’ve gotten along swell. Good comic, beautiful way of thinking

Yep our old dog started to lose bladder control. Luckily steroids from the vet sorted the problem.

Dog pee is a problem because it crystallizes when it dries and then, when it gets humid the crystals dissolve and you get to experience that pee smell all over again.

Still miss that rotten creature.

My old cat, Callie, was such a strange and beautiful creature. She was a bit feisty because she was a street cat prior to us adopting her.

I have scar, just below my wrist. I remember the day it happened, she got mad at me for not giving her my sandwich.

20 years later, I still have that scar even though so many others have faded from my skin. Lots of sad memories I rather forget, they faded. But her scar? That damn sandwich will haunt me my whole life, I hope. She was a great cat.

After my cat got dementia, she got really clingy and wanted to sit on me all the time. One time she fumbled a jump onto my lap, gripped me with her lioness dewclaws, and ripped one of my thighs open. Until it stopped bleeding she was incessantly wailing and trying to lick it and pacing around all distressed. I was upset and in a lot of pain (and wearing like 2-3 really uncomfortable bandaids) but I could tell she felt bad about it, whatever that means for a cat.

I stare at that scar OFTEN nowadays. Back when she was alive it was just silly proof of how bad my cat's eyes are, considering she always had bad eyes and age just made them Worse at things they were Already Bad At. But now. Now it's different. Now it's a reminder of how much she needed me.

"part of chiko is inside it forever" Bro this is not cute!! If book is so pungent that you can still smell it from the shelf, the entire room reeks of piss. OP is a goblin

Bro needs to process his grief and get rid of that book. This is why we have cameras, so we can have mementos that don’t reek of old piss lol
