I think non-pet owners really underestimate how much a part of your life pets are. I lost my beautiful Polly (my moggy) when I was 15 - I had her since I was 2. It broke my heart. I grew up with her, she hated everyone except me. We honestly were best friends. I always told myself that if I had another cat then I'd not have a girl. Last year my boyfriends cat had a litter and there was a very tiny runt, a ginger little bean. I assumed that being ginger, she was a he. It turns out that wasn't the case. I didn't choose her, she chose me. We instantly had a connection, she'd love to be on my hand or on my chest and when she first started opening her eyes and ears, she was automatically synced to me. We are inseparable. I honestly see her as my little girl. She adores me, she gets excited like a little puppy when she sees me. She's the most funniest and precious little thing in the world. I honestly will be heartbroken when I lose her.
At 29:30 you said you'd swear you heard Bear's water bottle going or see him out of the corner of your eye. Honestly, I'm pretty sure it WAS him and letting you know he didn't go anywhere and is still with you at all times. Something similar happened to me after my doxie Willie's passing. 2 days after my dog's passing, I was eating chicken nuggets, all of a sudden I heard his growl literally right next to me and I'm just like, frozen there in shock. I know how much he LOVED chicken nuggets (of course I didn't give him a lot 'cause it's fried :P) but it didn't scare me. That's when I knew he was still around and still being the fatso that he was even in ghost form :') lol
when my mums dog passed away she kept his collar and it would jingle when she walked into the room it was in. after a week, it wouldn’t move. he was helping her move on i guess.
My granny's dog of 16 years passed away last month... 😭 She tied her soul to the house by getting her pawprint and fur in a case. She has stairs that lead up to the top of the garden and crystal used to sneak back inside when my granny stopped looking. She still sees her head peeping around that corner
I sobbed buckets throughout the whole duration of this video...I've been suffering with grief after losing my baby Western Hognose snake, Mordin, 4 years ago. He died very young at about 7 months old and I'm ashamed to say it was my fault. Mordin was bought for me by my boyfriend on a whim as a birthday present after we spent the day together in town and visited an exotic shop there since we both loved reptiles so much. I saw Mordin in one of the enclosures and immediately fell in love with him, prompting my boyfriend to do what he thought at the time was a nice gesture on my birthday and purchase him for me alongside a faunarium and heat mat (even though we'd both never had any experience with Hognoses or their care...) Mordin was doing great, feeding and pooing on almost a clockwork like schedule and I quickly grew very attached to him as a whole until one day, about a few months later, he was laying completely rigid along the middle of his faunarium, still alive but rearing his head back and flailing when touched as if in pain. He was rushed to the vets that same day and when asked about his living conditions, I told the vet he was in a faunarium with a heat mat. Straight away she shook her head and told me that would be nowhere near warm enough for a Hognose especially in the UK's cold climate and that his body was beginning to shut down, his organs were failing and it had affected him neurologically, hence his failing and stiffness. I was told it would be very unlikely he'd come out of it alive but I should try gradually warming him up on a hot water bottle to see if he can pull through. We took Mordin home, hoping for a miracle to happen as we warmed up a hot water bottle for him and sat down with him to warm him up. Not ten minutes after we got him back home and I was cradling him in my lap, he passed away in my hands and I felt so unbelievably guilty (and I still do) that he died because I was too stupid to take care of him properly and as much as I cried and grieved for him during those 4 years since his death, I still feel like I don't have any right to do so since his death was entirely my fault. He was a brilliant feeder, had a fantastic personality and was the perfect little snake everyone would have wanted...he was just unlucky enough to land in the hands of a stupid owner. I've only this year managed to begin to come to terms with what happened and after months and months of researching, building up an enclosure from the ground up and testing it out weeks ahead in advance with 4 thermometers regulating temperatures and humidity...I've finally allowed myself to bring another scale baby into my home after four years of not letting myself anywhere near another animal. We brought Nero, our Mojave Royal Python home in January and he's doing incredibly well, captivating both mine and my boyfriend's heart in the process. My approach to raising him might be a little obsessive now with strict feeding, cleaning and water schedules as well as temperature checks throughout the day, but making sure Nero is well cared for and happy is something that I not only owe to Nero himself, but to Mordin's memory too. I have to show Mordin that his death taught me a valuable lesson and that is something that will stick with me through my entire life...
Megan Mortis Megan Mortis Megan Mortis It will be alright! We all make mistakes. Thank you for correcting your mistake and being responsible for your actions. I see people everywhere buying and treating animals like toys. Once it passes, they just go get a new one, making the same mistake over and over again. Although what you did was touching. Not only did you fix what you've done, but you made sure to do research and ensure that Nero will live a wonderful life, and I'm sure she/he will!
And I'm so sorry Mordin had passed away. 😔 Don't always blame yourself, for if Mordin could see you now (I'm sure she/he is) he/she would be proud of you and of the change you did. Even if I haven't met you, I am too.
I'm so sorry about that... I was crying because I can feel your pain. My grandma used to be a rabbit breeder and she gave me one of the babies. So her trial was for me to take good care of him on the way to Kentucky and back. Well... The way there wasn't bad. I had to keep him warm and feed him on a schedule. I was too scared to hold him, too worried to possibly injure him. But I was in Kentucky and some random lady was trying to get me to put him away. To go play with some of my cousins. So she got out a container and a hot water bottle and a towel. She took away my bunny and put him ontop of the bottle. Because he needed heat, I tucked him into the towel. The lady yelled at me and lifted it up over the container, folding the upper half over. While I was playing with my cousin, my grandma walked out and told me he was freezing cold. He died. I still blame myself for that passing to this day... He was just a baby and I only knew him for that day. But death happens. And its okay. At least you loved your precious hognose, and this proves it. I hope you're doing well!
Side note- I swore I wouldn't get another cat for years after Missy's passing. But not 2 months later, my best friend shows up at my door with a box with three 3-week old kittens inside. Their mother was killed by a coyote and she was syringe feeding them and planning to foster them. I told her I would help but I couldn't and wouldn't take one to keep. Then, out from the box, pops out this little black kittens face. ( my cat was black and had a single white dot on her neck, the very same marking as this kitten). I told myself no, told her no, but soon after my mother came home she decided to keep two of them. She kept the black one and a tabby. I told my self the black cat was a boy, telling myself I'm not replacing my late cat with an identical female. But she indeed was a little girl and those feelings of guilt subsided. Of course not long after I moved out I asked if she would part with them and they could be mine. I thought it was too soon out of respect but in the end I know they are exactly what I needed to help me through the rough grieving I was going through. Life has a mysterious way of working out, you have to have faith that the universe gives you what you need the you need it. So that is the story of my little girl Spook and her brother Mojo. They are inseparable and infact with me as I'm typing this. Thanks again for the video. I had a rough few days with a sick Spooky and going to the same vet office brought back a lot of scary feelings. She is now almost fully recovered and I'm sure the universe will let me keep her for as long as she's meant to be in my life.
Nummers That's such a beautiful story. Life really does have its mysterious ways, and often it's the animals themselves which find us and fill our lives with exactly what we need. They're just incredible. I really hope your kitty is much better soon :)
Village Vet Thanks Village Vet. It was one of your clinics which made putting Bear to sleep so peaceful. Your vet was so caring and fully explained the process, and was so gentle with Bear. I'm forever grateful for the 24hr clinic you have :)
I just found you today and just now subscribed but I found this video and I'm now bawling like a baby because I lost 2 dogs a few years ago and I know the pain and they died like 2 months apart. I remember when my first dog died that I would still hear his nails scrape against the floor and I feel your pain but I want to thank you for sharing your story because I know it will help so many people when they lose a pet. Thank you. ❤️
Amanda Panda Aww thank you, Amanda. Your kind words are so appreciated. I can't imagine the pain of losing such a high life impacting pet such as a dog. I hope in time that any pain you have of losing your friend will fade into loving memories of the happy times xxx
This story broke me because I had a hamster for almost three years who’s name was bear. And she acted exactly how u described your ferret did, she had free roam and she comforted me through some of the hardest points of my life. She was a rascal but coming home and not having her come out and sit on my feet breaks my heart every day. She would stand on her back legs next to my bed when she wanted attention, she would fine elaborate ways to climb onto my bed just so she could climb all over me. She was more than just a hamster. She would come to me when called, and when she lost her sight she would come to me when I tapped on the floor or called her. She would never bite anyone and made everyone who ever met her love her. It’s been months and I still can’t come home and bare the fact that she doesn’t come out to greet me. It’s heartbreaking and this video just opened so many wounds.
I lost my first ferret 3 years ago. I loved him. Had no clue how to take care of him tbh but he lived for 7 years was super close to me. I just adopted him & was making him my own. He was neglected by 3 different family member till he finally got passed to me. Cancer took him.. Well about a year later I started doing research on proper care and I decided to get a new one. That helped me mourn. Knowing that I am now properly taking care of his brother. Now I have 3 ferrets in a huge cage, proper diet, soo many toys. I cry every time I lose a pet. It kills a part of me. I'm sorry for your loss
I've had 3 hamsters in the past two years... it's so strange how much you can miss such a tiny animal after they pass. Two of the tree passed away while i was on trips and it's devastating. I cared so much for these animals and made sure they had the proper care and one of my worse memories every is waking in the morning to check on my hamster Pancake and find him curled up, gone in his house. My dad often asks me how I do it and asks me if it's worth it. I think it is. One way I deal with the grief is making them a tribute video (on RUclips) i really just cry my heart out looking at old memories and videos and photos. It's really such a hard thing
Zoania I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Animals of any size can make the biggest impacts on us all. I hope that one day you can look back and feel warm love for all the memories you made together xxx
I recently had to put my Chihuahua that i had for 14 years to sleep and we creamated her and im planning on getting a memorial tattoo with her ashes, she was my best friend. Im sorry for your loss, your story reminds me so much of my chula i was sobbing watching this
Jada Wright Jada I'm sorry to hear about your chihuahua. They're such charismatic dogs, full of personality. I think a memorial tattoo is wonderful. There are also companies that will use some of the ashes to insert into melted glass for necklaces and rings. Maybe those would be a nice idea too?
I had two cats that sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I had known them my whole life and it was really sad when they died, both were about 16 years old and both died within a couple months of each other. They were sisters and it was extremely sad when they died. It is really great to have a person who shares their story and I just want you to know that all your subscribers are here for you if you ever need help.
I am late to this video, and this will be a bit of a crazy story, but losing my "pet" will always be one of the worst things to ever happen to me. It's very difficult for me to even call him a pet. When he passed, he was around 16-17 years old..same age as I was. I had had this pup almost since I was born. He had quite literally been the only one who was there for me in awful times, due to me having to grow up quite independent. He was everything to me, he was my brother, my baby, and even my guardian, as he felt like my old man who always took care of, and watched over me. He was quiet, and smart, and most of the time, his presence felt completely and utterly human. He was part corgi, so earlier in his life he had some serious back problems, which was devastating in itself, as we thought that would be the end, yet he miraculously recovered. Throughout his whole life, I kind of relied on this, jokingly believing he had the secret to immortality, so when he seemed to slowly get sicker, some symptoms due to old age, and he passed, it seemed like I was in a totally surrealistic world. We decided to put him down, it destroyed me to see him in any kind of pain, and I cant, and will never get the look on his face out of his mind. He stared at the doctor, calmly, and didn't look away. Full eye contact. He knew for sure what was happening. I just hope he was ready. I still blame myself for everything. I wish I had done so many things differently. I contemplated, and still do, killing myself many times, I felt like I deserved it, and everyday I beg to have him back in my stead. I would sacrifice my life for him 30 million times over, and this will most definitely sound insane to 95% of people. But he was, and still is, my everything. Unapologetically. Forgive me for this crazy long story that no one will read, I just had to get it off my chest.
your life is worth it trust me you did the best you can you did all YOI could to help him in his times of distress trust me man your worth more than anything you life is precious you are the reason somebody had a good day your the reason that at least one person In life is having a good day don’t do it please you are loved by so many ppl please man don’t do it..
I know you are upset and thank you I'm going through the loss of a pet but you did the right thing it's a hard thing to do and you did it your incredibly strong and all the support is with you thank you 😊
Emzotic This reminds me of a hamster I had when I was so young years ago her name was Coco and she was cute, behaved and caring and I'm not much of a hamster person but i was so sad when me and me Mum lost her and my Mum would always tell me she was up in the sky somewhere looking down on us with a smile. I'm so sorry you lost Bear.
I shouldn't watch these videos because I get upset really easily but it made me feel better to see someone that understands what it's like to lose a pet. I lost my cat last October and in the space of two days she went from healthy to the vet's office. I always cry when I look at the picture I have if her for too long... But thankyou for making this video, it helps alot ❤️
Oh man this really made me tear up, it's coming up on the one year mark of losing our family cat who wasn't even two years old. He was so special to me and I still miss him every single day.. I still vividly remember sitting on my brothers bed with him and my mom just crying our hearts out together
There was this one time my aunts dog passed, his name was zach, and I always decided to sleep on the floor, and use him as a pillow. He was the most beautiful dog, and upon hearing of his passing I was left grieving for over a month.
Bear’s tribute box is just wonderful and beautiful. I just lost my hedgehog Cindy and I’m going to make a scrapbook of good memories with pictures and stories of her
I've watched this video before and while I was still unbelievably upset, rewatching it today hit me so much harder. A few weeks ago I lost my dog. He was only three years old, still a baby. My family had him since he was a month ago as he was a rescue taken away from his mother far too young. I bonded with that puppy so much and he turned out to be the most loyal and sweet dog I have ever owned. He followed me everywhere and cuddled with me at night time before I went to sleep. He got out one time, first time he had ever gotten out, and was hit on the highway in front of my house. It kills me to know that he was alone and that we were too late finding him. I miss him every single day and still I cry over the loss of my baby. Archie was a fantastic dog and I'm never going to forget him or not miss him. But I know that he's happy wherever he is because he can play and have fun and do everything he ever wanted. Pets are family members and nothing less.
I know I'm late to the party on this video, but I felt compelled to comment. Two months ago, I had to make the decision to put my 14-year old dog to sleep. I didn't know I was capable of crying that hard, but I know it was the right decision. Losing a pet is something no one can understand until they go through it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Sorry for adding yet another comment. But this was a sad video but NOT depressing. If had been depressing I’d never have watched it to the end. While it was your tribute to Bear, I’d call it inspiring and comforting for me too. I remembered the dear ones I had to say “Goodbye,” to in my life.
Sweetpea Snail or they disliked it because it's a sad topic and they don't feel it's right to "like" something so horrible. A dislike on a video isn't always a bash at someone's talent to make content.
I had a dog and his name was Lazer, he was a police dog and was like my brother. we did everything together, swam, played, loved each other everyday. And he was diagnosed with vestibular nystagmus i was heartbroken, if you want to see my fav picture of us Google Mikayla and Lazer Langenberg, there will be a pic of me when I was a baby, and him protecting me. I used to always roll over to him just to play when I couldn't even walk yet. I love him, and will hopefully never get a dog again. his loss hit me hard, but the fact that I lost a brother hit me even harder. I am 12 now and still think of him every day.❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, some think that crying over pets is stupid, I think otherwise. Small or large your pet is your baby, your best friend, and sometimes your "partner in crime". I have had two hamsters, and currently own a mouse (which I picked up for the first time while watching this video). My first hamster was a male syrian named Storm, he died of old age and I knew it was his time, my other hamsters death was incredibly dramatic and hurt me terribly. She was a beautiful WW named Nori (no not after seaweed, IRON backwards is NORI) and she was very feisty and nippy. After I had her for just under 3 months I noticed she was breathing very hard and was skinny. I at first thought she was just sneezing a little bit but after some more examination she was not. She couldn't even move more than a few inches at a time and was very weak. I stayed up until 3 am which is late for me, I was freaking out and holding her. She wasn't fighting me at all which scared me because she hated human contact. I finally fell asleep and woke up at about 8 and begged my parents to go to the store, we went and bought baby food, and other necessary items to force feed her, she wasn't eating any food . I force fed her for awhile and moved her into a smaller cage(she wasn't moving around much and it would be easier for her to go drink water or eat if she could, also would be easier for me to find her). She stared getting better but the next day she went back downhill. We took her to a vet and they gave us antibiotics and smaller syringes which were incredibly useful but, the veterinarian was a total butt. I could tell from her attitude that she didn't give a poop about Nori and thought she would die in a day or so anyways. None the less we took Nori home and I force fed her the best I could every few hours. She gained about 2g in the next day, and stayed there for a while. In the middle of the experience she started eating tiny bits of cucumber, and was getting slowly better. Then it went downhill again. She lost at least 5g and near the end weighed about 23g, very low for a hamster her size. She ended up dying. She lived 8 days through her sickness. I'm pretty sure she had pneumonia or a respiratory infection, got over it but then near the end developed a tumor, but I'm not sure. Sorry this is super long, thanks for reading.
My two baby hobs are coming home with me next week, one of which I have named Kuma (which means Bear). I'm so excited to share their little lives but honestly the idea of them not living a long life was something that stopped me getting ferrets for many years. This video made me cry, but what I liked about it was how much happiness you had in your eyes when you spoke about Bear.. that's something special and what makes the pain of losing them so young (in our years) more bearable x
Such a beautiful tribute. Having had a similar experience with my life long cat Missy, it was very hard to watch, I couldn't imagine how hard it was to film. My Missy was 21 when I had to put her down. She was my rock, my shadow and my absolute best friend. I never left her side in the process, I also think that is so important. But every time I look at her urn, or beautiful clay memorial plaque with her paw print pushed in it, I chose to see the happy times, and all the beautiful years we spent together. I also have a tattoo of her paw print, I got that years before she passed, so I would remember the happy times instead of the months following her death where I could hardly bear to think of her. Thank you for sharing your story, it is a beautiful tribute to Bear and I'm sure it will help console many people as it did for myself.
Nummers Thanks Nummers :) This was really tough to film. Bear was incredibly special to me, and has really left a huge void in my life. He was just the most calm, gentle and massive ferret. He was very dog-like, in that he would love to come and find me and just hang out. He was one of a kind ❤️
My heart broke and I actually cried 😔 you're very strong. I'm sure your ferret loves you. I have a story. My first pet that i loved very very much was rescued by my late dad. When my dad died, my Uncle took away my tortoise, Bintang(which meant stars in Malay because my tortoise had a unique pattern on its shell which looked like stars), and he let it go. I never got to say good bye to it and idek where it is now, where it was let go or is it still alive. My dad left 13 years ago and ever since then I never had a pet. It still hurts to think back that I never got the chance to say good bye to my beloved tortoise. Thank you Em for sharing your story ❤️
Dear Emma, My cat of 12 years Spicy has passed away a couple of days ago and I am so devastated. She was everything to me, like my other half, a part of my soul. I have honestly felt like I’m going to die as dramatic as it sounds, my body is actually aching with grief. Animals are so pure and special it’s like when you lose an animal you’re losing a little angel. I really appreciate this video, it really helps to know I’m not alone in how I feel. Unfortunately my dear Spicy passed away at the vet overnight and I couldn’t be there for her and she was alone and I do feel so guilty about it. In my grief on Monday morning when the vet called to tell me what had happened, I told them I didn’t want to come and see her and I didn’t want the ashes because the thought of seeing my baby cold and lifeless was too much to bear. I feel guilty about it now, like as if I missed out on that last chance. I actually wanted to take her paw prints so I could get a tattoo of them a couple years ago but I just never got around to it and I’m so sad now that I’ve lost my chance. I am just happy that she is not suffering anymore and I know she knew she is so completely loved and appreciated.
Hi Em! I just wanted to thank you for this video. I recently had to have my dog put to sleep. Your video helped me to cry, because I haven't, until recently, been able to. I'm a 45 year old man, and find it difficult, as many men do, to show my emotions. You really helped me to do that. Thank you and God bless you xx
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss 😔😔 not going to sugarcoat anything or be unrealistic but the pain will definitely never go away. But as more time goes by it will get alittle bit easier. But you're an amazing and caring human being which is shown by seeing you with your animals! So again I'm very sorry this happened and you will for sure be in my thoughts, sweetheart 💕💕❤️
Thank you for share. Your story literally replayed my story with what my mom and I went through with our Dog Duke. He was our first dog put down. Same symptoms and everything. The part that got me was we couldn't watch it so when you said you stayed with him.. that's awesome. If we could go back we would have stayed with him. I know Duke would've wanted to see us with him. Only thing we regret 😰 It leaves a soft spot in your heart. 💖 #petsareprecious
Breann Kapeliela Thanks so much for sharing your story about Duke. I'm so sorry that you had to say goodbye. I really hope you have hundreds of fond memories to keep him alive in your hearts ❤️
This video ripped me apart. I have a ferret but luckily he's only 1 1/2 so I've got him for a long time. The little poem on the box got me. Luv you girl! RIP Bear
I couldn't breathe and I definitely can't when you read the quote from the box. I'm so sorry about Bear. Having a pet, your best friend, pass is very painful. I hope you're doing okay.
I’m literally sobbing and I’m not even through half the video yet😭 So sad because Bear sounds so innocent and sweet. I know that you gave him such a good life and I hope he enjoyed his life
This is a little late having seen when the video was posted but this was such a beautiful tribute and I'm so sorry for your heart breaking loss of such a beautiful loved ferret. Rest in peace bear.
I feel very late coming to this. I, literally, just found your channel but I had to say thank you for sharing your experience with your beautiful baby Bear and how you dealt with such a tremendous loss. It's such a different kind of pain, it's almost impossible to describe. As an animal lover, I've been given the opportunity to share my life and love with my babies. And still cry for the ones I've lost. Their paw prints are still there, trailing right across my heart, safe and secure, warm and loved, forever. May your little Bear rest in peace 🌸 ✌🏼
I can't believe I haven't found you sooner. Just by watching this video I can strongly afirm that my respect for you is tremendous. This world surely need more people like you, such precious creatures as animals/pets need love as real and honest as yours for Bear. Thank you so much for all the amazing content you are giving us, I wish you the best luck. x
Thank you, Emma, and hugs! I shed a few tears watching this, but that's okay. Right there with you. Must have been one of your most difficult videos to make, but I'm glad you did, and I'm glad I watched! XX
Jeff Bricmont I wish I could give you a great big hug! It's ok to cry. Three weeks is still very raw and it will take a long time I'm sure before the absence of your kitty becomes the new norm. I'm so glad that my video helped you a little xx
I cried so hard during thing. My cat of 13 years had to be put down earlier this week and I wasn't able to be there because I live away from my parents now. You are so incredibly brave and thank you so much for sharing this. I know it's an older video but I found it at a time that I needed it most.
How were you able to tell the hole story without crying? I was thinking about my own babies that passed away and listening to the great love you tow shared and I couldn't finish the video without crying. I'm sorry that he's gone but you were lucky to have each other.
I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. This was such a beautiful video. He clearly lived a very full and loved life and he's touched so many people's hearts. Not just in his happy life, but in his peaceful death. I hope that your grief is more manageable these days and that you're closer to the "happy moments" part of it. I'm so glad you told his story. RIP Bear, you will always be loved. xoxo
i know how hard it can be, my first pet of my own was a hamster named hamilton and he really did mean so much to me. he was so gentle and patient & would never bite. being my first ever pet made the loss hit even harder and watching this (even though it has been a couple years now) reminded me just how hard it can be and how you always have to be prepared for things like this to come around. thank you, and bear sounded like sound a loving, lively spirit :)xx
omg i am the biggest animal lover and this made me cry 😣😢 it was so sad pets are so pure they truely love their owners more than themselves 😟 . Be strong!!❤
I live in the UK and my family lives in the States and I had to say goodbye to my cat Star today through skype. Her eyes lit up when she heard me although she couldn't get the energy to lift her head. This video helped me a lot, thank you.
Caity R Oh gosh Caity, I'm so very sorry to hear about your cat.. it must have been terribly hard to say goodbye, but it's wonderful that she got to hear your voice again ❤️
It’s so hard losing a pet and at least with me, sometimes you never get past a pet. I lost my cat, Saint, in 2014 and I still cry sometimes because being without him is so hard. He was literally my best friend. I legitimately missed school for at least a couple days afterward because I was grieving so badly, I couldn’t get out of bed or really do anything without crying hysterically. People who try to dismiss it because ‘it’s just an animal’ I don’t know if they will ever understand.
I am sorry for the loss of Bear. I'm sure he knew until his last moment that you were by his side. I cried for him and he will be missed. Lots of love from France ❤️
Thank you so so much for sharing this video. I have an African pygmy hedgehog called Pippa who has terminal cancer. Pippa was diagnosed last year and the fact that she is still here is amazing. But the last couple of months she is changing. Sleeping a lot more than usual. Not eating as much. Also a few other things that I just know mean are not right with her. Pippa is more than just a hedgehog, Pippa is my baby and has helped me so much. I have a few serious health problems and Pippa has helped me so much. We have been to the vet several times and there is nothing that can be done. Pippa does not seem to be in any pain or discomfort at all. I've already asked her vet for information about what happens if I need to make THAT decision, also I have the information regarding cremation and the details around that. I absolutely love your memory box with Bears wonderful photo, such a handsome boy 😍. Your video has really helped me, and as soon as you started reading that poem I started crying, I have seen it before, so beautiful. Sorry for such a long post, thank you again. Sending hooman and hedgie hugs from myself and Pippa xxxx (I can't put a picture of Pippa here, if possible can you let me know how and I'll send photo if my baby.)
I'm so glad you made this video, even though I spent most of it sobbing my heart out, you made such a wonderful tribute to him. I, too, have a pet that is my best friend, and although it's not quite his time yet, I have always felt the need to prepare myself and do research on our choices when the time comes. This video was honestly so reassuring, and needed by so many people, as there is not much information and experiences available on such a personal level as this. I dread the day that my baby passes, as he is my first ever pet, and the connection I have with him is unreal. I don't care if people will judge me for when i grieve, and I know they will, as my best friend is a hamster. But honestly, he has been with me through so much already and has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. Here's to all the adored pets that the world has lost. May they rest in peace over the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Em, for your continued lessons that you teach to so many people. Your story touches the hearts of everyone you meet, and you will continue to inspire everyone that has the pleasure of experiencing your videos, or of you in general. R.I.P Bear ❤️
Em, I'm having to watch this one in (at least) 2 parts. The cat whom I've shared my life & home with for the last 14 years had to cross the Rainbow Bridge about 3 weeks ago, so while I'm very interested in hearing the story you're sharing in this video, it's also sharply probing at the tender parts in me, too. I'm sure you can relate! :)
Oh, Jeff. I'm so very sorry. I understand only too well what you must be going through, but you had your cat for a much longer time than I had my beloved ferret, Bear. Take your time and do whatever works best to help you deal with your grief xxx
Jeff Bricmont Well then what I hoped to achieve has been achieved. Even if this video only helps one person, that's enough for me :) It's tough to share a few things in this video which I found myself doing after Bear died, but grief affects us all in different ways and allowing myself to do what I had to do, regardless of what anyone else thought, was very helpful. It doesn't do to bottle the feelings up. Ride the waves of grief, because it certainly comes in waves, and know that it's utterly normal to be just as affected by the passion of a dear pet as you might be with a human passing.
Hi Emma, I just found your videos recently and this video touch me in a very profound way. I lost my rabbit last year and the way my Bella passed away it's similar to the way Bear went. My baby rabbit Bella was a dwaft mini rex and she was 13 years old. She passed away due to old age and we tried to hard to keep her healthy and comfortable. At the end it was a Sunday morning , I had to take her to an emergency care clinic and they put her to sleep. I cried for hours in the parking lot. I had to come home and explain to my 5 yrs old son that Bella went to heaven. My son grew up with her and even now he still asked about her. I cried and cried while watching this video and you are right by saying you have to give yourself time. Time to heal and time to let your heart open again to another pet. Love all your videos and I learned a lot.
My ferret Carlos past away last week I know how u feel,he was my best friend and I know his brother (doodles my other ferret) misses him so sooo much,I love you and your RUclips channel and I’m sorry for ur loss
Cried my eyes out watching this! I lost four cats in the space of a week, to very tragic reasons, and it honestly broke me. No one understood what I was going through so it’s nice to see that there are people who understand. I know it’s been a year since the video was posted, so you’ll have moved on and have the happy memories you needed now :) but thank you for making this video.
I've never lost a pet before, but even then, I cried so much during this entire video. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad that so many people have gone out of their way to try to cheer you up. Bear sounds like an amazing companion and I hope that you'll soon find company with someone else again when you're able to and when you're ready to.
I had 2 cats put to sleep due to F.I.P, both wet and dry types repectively. one on 14 november 2014 and the other was 15 november 2016. it is heart breaking. both girls name Nosie and Jacqueline. I know the pain and the same year of 2014, i had 5 Kittens died of Parvo, i buried all 5 kittens whithin that 7 days. proberly the worst i had to go througtht. Losing a pet, they are more than just pets, they are family. I teared up watching this. we are deal losing our pets differently. Thanks for the upload.
Its alright, i'm no stranger for pets dying. but my mum has the hardest time coping, because in around September 2016, her cat(her name is Patches, cause she is a Calico tabby with semi long hair) died from kidney failure. she had kidney problem just before she turn 2 and most cats pass away about/within 3 years since they are diagnose with kidney problem and our Kitty actually out live for another 3 years, so she live for another 6 years after she was diagnose with problems. she pass away in my mums arms on her bed. My mum have a hard time coping and she cries each time she thinks about her cats and dogs, some i cant even remember their names anymore. we rescued so many through the years Blessing for you for many years to come and many more fur babies you will have in the future. P.S we still have 7 cats in the house.
I've been apart of the Creature Crew for a bit now but I've just gotten around to watching this video at a time where I really needed it. My beloved budgie Loki passed away a week ago and I've really been struggling with his loss. I also had him cremated and will be picking him up in a few days. I think cremating and keeping their cremains is a wonderful way to remember and honor your friend. Thank you Em for making me feel less silly about the pain I'm experiencing.
Six weeks ago my dear Bubbles had a seizure and two weeks later he went missing. I wish I could have his body in my house like you but we haven't found him and I am finding it hard to deal with the fact that I don't have him and I don't know where he is, what happened, or even if he's still alive. I wish I had somewhere to go to when I miss him or just to be able to say that I know where he is but I don't. I hope that you have learned to cope without Bear. RIP ❤️❤️❤️🐈🐈🐈
I am so grateful you took time to tell your story about Bear. I made a difficult decision 4 day's ago to put my Lil Lou down. 😪 Lou Lou was my last little ferret. She was my tiniest and had free range of my apartment. She like my other ferrets developed insulonim (hypoglycemia) a very common condition for ferrets. Lil Lou was diagnosed in Spring of 2020. I gave her medicine twice a day up until last Thursday. Thankfully my son was by our side. The veterinarian's office staff were wonderful and compassionate. Today I find myself having a difficult time coping. I so appreciate your words of encouragement and understanding.
This video helped me a lot,especially the how to get over grief of losing a pet part,I do not know how much longer my hermit crab will live but I think he will be over the rainbow by tomorrow,thank you emzotic!
I fill for you last year my ferret died she was 15 my younger one was 5 we had to rehome her because she was on her own . So your not alone I cried about my ferrets when they died because my mum was a breeder so I am sooo sorry for your lost love u Bear.xxx he's always be with you xxxx R.I.P bear xxx
I lost my dog on new years eve. he was my best friend and was always by my side. it was so sudden and he died in my arms. i still have his blanket where he used to sleep on my bed. a thing i would recommend for people who have lost their pet or are going to, get some of their fur and put it in a locket. it is such a comfort to me. thank you so much for this video. i feel like people want me to get over him, but I loved him and he stayed by my side when I had nobody. Thank you saying that its ok to keep mourning them. Loss isn't a set of steps to get over. Its ups and downs and that's okay.
This video really touched me. I just recently lost my baby, Oreo, of 8 years about 3 weeks ago (she was stolen while wandering our front yard) and I've been heart broken ever since. She was truly my little fur baby and I will never be able to forget about her. I know it's not the same as a pet passing away but the pain is still very real. Something I've been hearing a lot is "it's just a cat, you can always get another" but there is no other cat that will replace Oreo and the YEARS of memories. I originally got her during a really dark time in my life and she was seriously my rock so not having her by my side at every little turn has been so hard. Thank you for sharing your story. 💕
Thank you for loving little Bear. I had my sweet ferret Winkie for 8 years. He died in my arms on 12-27-15. He was my special sweet and gentle baby. I miss him everyday. I also had him cremated and he is now with me forever. thank you for sharing your story with us. it is a beautiful story :)
My guinea pig died over a year ago now and I still miss her so much. I really loved her and hope she didn't suffer too much. I hate it when people think you're weird for grieving a pet, it makes me so mad. Thanks for making this video helping people to feel okay about feeling lose for a pet 💖
this hit home to me i usually don't get emotional but I fought so damn hard to not cry, and it brought back my childhood pet hamster named coconut and bear reminds me so much of him♡ hope you know that there are people who feel your pain and give you best of wishes♡ I'm new here to your channel and I'm glade I found it 😊💜
my best friend passed away almost three years ago, the way you described Bear's last moments, the weightloss, the incontinence, it was exactly the same... we had to put him to sleep too, and as you were telling the process, I remembered every second, and it was all the same... I felt the last beat of his heart, I saw his last breath... I am so grateful with these creatures that come to our lives to brighten them, my dog taught me real love does exist. Thank you for being so considerate with Bear and his life.
My hamster puff died yesterday.. he was too young, I don't even know if he lived one year.. I never got to celebrate his birthday even though I never knew when he was born.. I wanted to go to the vet and find out what I did wrong but it was too expensive and too late. There is no price I wouldn't pay to have him checked out but that wasn't my choice to make.. I want him cremated and put in an hour glass. It might be a bit morbid but I want to spend the time with him I never got too.. this all happened during hurricane Harvey actually, my mom said he was stressed by the eclipse and hurricane but I don't know. I'll update when we burry or cremate it.. or maybe not idk I'm kinda going through some stuff.. I hope you have a wonderful day whoever you are, thanks for reading.
I'm just coming across this video and I want to thank you. I've had my dog, Jacob, since 2011. I've noticed that he's been getting sick a lot lately and I've worried a bunch about how things would be when he finally passes or I've finally chosen to put him to sleep. This video has put my heart at rest and really makes me realize just how much I appreciate having him and fellow animal lovers like you in this world.
it didn't even happen to me but I cried
Jayla Wood I'm sobbing
Jayla Wood same 😔😔😔
Jayla Wood , me too ;)
same 💔
Jayla Wood I did too
I think non-pet owners really underestimate how much a part of your life pets are. I lost my beautiful Polly (my moggy) when I was 15 - I had her since I was 2. It broke my heart. I grew up with her, she hated everyone except me. We honestly were best friends. I always told myself that if I had another cat then I'd not have a girl. Last year my boyfriends cat had a litter and there was a very tiny runt, a ginger little bean. I assumed that being ginger, she was a he. It turns out that wasn't the case. I didn't choose her, she chose me. We instantly had a connection, she'd love to be on my hand or on my chest and when she first started opening her eyes and ears, she was automatically synced to me. We are inseparable. I honestly see her as my little girl. She adores me, she gets excited like a little puppy when she sees me. She's the most funniest and precious little thing in the world. I honestly will be heartbroken when I lose her.
I lost my dog today in the living room (April 18, 2019)
@sara Allison aka Miss true Freeman Everyone has an opinion. but we don't need to know this
Aww, that's so cute
I'm legitimately crying rivers right now - and Bear wasn't even mine. I never even knew him. ;_; I have no idea how you didn't cry. You're so strong.
mee to :(
I could not stop crying this killed me it’s so sad to imagine this happening
Same I feel so sad for her
I have lost 9 hamster's today they all got too old ╯︿╰
Same
Oso sorry about bear he sounded like the best ferret ever
Sarah Linehan-Cannon he really was xx
Emzotic #Bear Best Ferret May his spirit live on 🌷
Oso i spanish means bear
At 29:30 you said you'd swear you heard Bear's water bottle going or see him out of the corner of your eye. Honestly, I'm pretty sure it WAS him and letting you know he didn't go anywhere and is still with you at all times. Something similar happened to me after my doxie Willie's passing. 2 days after my dog's passing, I was eating chicken nuggets, all of a sudden I heard his growl literally right next to me and I'm just like, frozen there in shock. I know how much he LOVED chicken nuggets (of course I didn't give him a lot 'cause it's fried :P) but it didn't scare me. That's when I knew he was still around and still being the fatso that he was even in ghost form :') lol
That was deep 😢😖
when my mums dog passed away she kept his collar and it would jingle when she walked into the room it was in. after a week, it wouldn’t move. he was helping her move on i guess.
I had something similar I could have sworn my pet came to me in my dream to say one last goodbye
My granny's dog of 16 years passed away last month... 😭
She tied her soul to the house by getting her pawprint and fur in a case.
She has stairs that lead up to the top of the garden and crystal used to sneak back inside when my granny stopped looking. She still sees her head peeping around that corner
I can still see my baby boy’s face pop up from his little doggy gate when I come home.
Man, I cried A LOT watching this video. I really love animals, they're my life, and I really know what you're feeling. :(
I sobbed buckets throughout the whole duration of this video...I've been suffering with grief after losing my baby Western Hognose snake, Mordin, 4 years ago. He died very young at about 7 months old and I'm ashamed to say it was my fault. Mordin was bought for me by my boyfriend on a whim as a birthday present after we spent the day together in town and visited an exotic shop there since we both loved reptiles so much. I saw Mordin in one of the enclosures and immediately fell in love with him, prompting my boyfriend to do what he thought at the time was a nice gesture on my birthday and purchase him for me alongside a faunarium and heat mat (even though we'd both never had any experience with Hognoses or their care...) Mordin was doing great, feeding and pooing on almost a clockwork like schedule and I quickly grew very attached to him as a whole until one day, about a few months later, he was laying completely rigid along the middle of his faunarium, still alive but rearing his head back and flailing when touched as if in pain. He was rushed to the vets that same day and when asked about his living conditions, I told the vet he was in a faunarium with a heat mat. Straight away she shook her head and told me that would be nowhere near warm enough for a Hognose especially in the UK's cold climate and that his body was beginning to shut down, his organs were failing and it had affected him neurologically, hence his failing and stiffness. I was told it would be very unlikely he'd come out of it alive but I should try gradually warming him up on a hot water bottle to see if he can pull through. We took Mordin home, hoping for a miracle to happen as we warmed up a hot water bottle for him and sat down with him to warm him up. Not ten minutes after we got him back home and I was cradling him in my lap, he passed away in my hands and I felt so unbelievably guilty (and I still do) that he died because I was too stupid to take care of him properly and as much as I cried and grieved for him during those 4 years since his death, I still feel like I don't have any right to do so since his death was entirely my fault. He was a brilliant feeder, had a fantastic personality and was the perfect little snake everyone would have wanted...he was just unlucky enough to land in the hands of a stupid owner. I've only this year managed to begin to come to terms with what happened and after months and months of researching, building up an enclosure from the ground up and testing it out weeks ahead in advance with 4 thermometers regulating temperatures and humidity...I've finally allowed myself to bring another scale baby into my home after four years of not letting myself anywhere near another animal. We brought Nero, our Mojave Royal Python home in January and he's doing incredibly well, captivating both mine and my boyfriend's heart in the process. My approach to raising him might be a little obsessive now with strict feeding, cleaning and water schedules as well as temperature checks throughout the day, but making sure Nero is well cared for and happy is something that I not only owe to Nero himself, but to Mordin's memory too. I have to show Mordin that his death taught me a valuable lesson and that is something that will stick with me through my entire life...
Megan Mortis Megan Mortis Megan Mortis It will be alright! We all make mistakes. Thank you for correcting your mistake and being responsible for your actions. I see people everywhere buying and treating animals like toys. Once it passes, they just go get a new one, making the same mistake over and over again. Although what you did was touching. Not only did you fix what you've done, but you made sure to do research and ensure that Nero will live a wonderful life, and I'm sure she/he will!
And I'm so sorry Mordin had passed away. 😔 Don't always blame yourself, for if Mordin could see you now (I'm sure she/he is) he/she would be proud of you and of the change you did. Even if I haven't met you, I am too.
I'm so sorry about that... I was crying because I can feel your pain.
My grandma used to be a rabbit breeder and she gave me one of the babies. So her trial was for me to take good care of him on the way to Kentucky and back.
Well... The way there wasn't bad. I had to keep him warm and feed him on a schedule. I was too scared to hold him, too worried to possibly injure him.
But I was in Kentucky and some random lady was trying to get me to put him away. To go play with some of my cousins. So she got out a container and a hot water bottle and a towel. She took away my bunny and put him ontop of the bottle. Because he needed heat, I tucked him into the towel. The lady yelled at me and lifted it up over the container, folding the upper half over.
While I was playing with my cousin, my grandma walked out and told me he was freezing cold. He died.
I still blame myself for that passing to this day... He was just a baby and I only knew him for that day.
But death happens. And its okay. At least you loved your precious hognose, and this proves it. I hope you're doing well!
wow you write a *lot*
Megan I'm sorry about Mordin 😟😞😞😖
Side note- I swore I wouldn't get another cat for years after Missy's passing. But not 2 months later, my best friend shows up at my door with a box with three 3-week old kittens inside. Their mother was killed by a coyote and she was syringe feeding them and planning to foster them.
I told her I would help but I couldn't and wouldn't take one to keep. Then, out from the box, pops out this little black kittens face. ( my cat was black and had a single white dot on her neck, the very same marking as this kitten). I told myself no, told her no, but soon after my mother came home she decided to keep two of them. She kept the black one and a tabby. I told my self the black cat was a boy, telling myself I'm not replacing my late cat with an identical female. But she indeed was a little girl and those feelings of guilt subsided. Of course not long after I moved out I asked if she would part with them and they could be mine. I thought it was too soon out of respect but in the end I know they are exactly what I needed to help me through the rough grieving I was going through. Life has a mysterious way of working out, you have to have faith that the universe gives you what you need the you need it. So that is the story of my little girl Spook and her brother Mojo. They are inseparable and infact with me as I'm typing this.
Thanks again for the video. I had a rough few days with a sick Spooky and going to the same vet office brought back a lot of scary feelings. She is now almost fully recovered and I'm sure the universe will let me keep her for as long as she's meant to be in my life.
Nummers That's such a beautiful story. Life really does have its mysterious ways, and often it's the animals themselves which find us and fill our lives with exactly what we need. They're just incredible. I really hope your kitty is much better soon :)
Nummers my cats name was missy and she died in April
i so sorry
This really hit home. I cried so much just listening to your story. I'm really sorry about your loss
Extending deepest sympathy for you in your loss. And hoping, too, that comfort and peace may come to you.
Village Vet Thanks Village Vet. It was one of your clinics which made putting Bear to sleep so peaceful. Your vet was so caring and fully explained the process, and was so gentle with Bear. I'm forever grateful for the 24hr clinic you have :)
I just found you today and just now subscribed but I found this video and I'm now bawling like a baby because I lost 2 dogs a few years ago and I know the pain and they died like 2 months apart. I remember when my first dog died that I would still hear his nails scrape against the floor and I feel your pain but I want to thank you for sharing your story because I know it will help so many people when they lose a pet. Thank you. ❤️
Amanda Panda Aww thank you, Amanda. Your kind words are so appreciated. I can't imagine the pain of losing such a high life impacting pet such as a dog. I hope in time that any pain you have of losing your friend will fade into loving memories of the happy times xxx
Hi
This story broke me because I had a hamster for almost three years who’s name was bear. And she acted exactly how u described your ferret did, she had free roam and she comforted me through some of the hardest points of my life. She was a rascal but coming home and not having her come out and sit on my feet breaks my heart every day. She would stand on her back legs next to my bed when she wanted attention, she would fine elaborate ways to climb onto my bed just so she could climb all over me. She was more than just a hamster. She would come to me when called, and when she lost her sight she would come to me when I tapped on the floor or called her. She would never bite anyone and made everyone who ever met her love her. It’s been months and I still can’t come home and bare the fact that she doesn’t come out to greet me. It’s heartbreaking and this video just opened so many wounds.
I'm so sorry
I lost my first ferret 3 years ago. I loved him. Had no clue how to take care of him tbh but he lived for 7 years was super close to me. I just adopted him & was making him my own. He was neglected by 3 different family member till he finally got passed to me. Cancer took him..
Well about a year later I started doing research on proper care and I decided to get a new one. That helped me mourn. Knowing that I am now properly taking care of his brother. Now I have 3 ferrets in a huge cage, proper diet, soo many toys.
I cry every time I lose a pet. It kills a part of me.
I'm sorry for your loss
I've had 3 hamsters in the past two years... it's so strange how much you can miss such a tiny animal after they pass. Two of the tree passed away while i was on trips and it's devastating. I cared so much for these animals and made sure they had the proper care and one of my worse memories every is waking in the morning to check on my hamster Pancake and find him curled up, gone in his house. My dad often asks me how I do it and asks me if it's worth it. I think it is. One way I deal with the grief is making them a tribute video (on RUclips) i really just cry my heart out looking at old memories and videos and photos. It's really such a hard thing
Zoania I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Animals of any size can make the biggest impacts on us all. I hope that one day you can look back and feel warm love for all the memories you made together xxx
Caike I feel sad for you
Emzotic hi I no it is a different topic but I got giant African land snails from Santa
Emzotic hi
Emzotic my snails are cold pumba and timon
I recently had to put my Chihuahua that i had for 14 years to sleep and we creamated her and im planning on getting a memorial tattoo with her ashes, she was my best friend. Im sorry for your loss, your story reminds me so much of my chula i was sobbing watching this
Jada Wright Jada I'm sorry to hear about your chihuahua. They're such charismatic dogs, full of personality.
I think a memorial tattoo is wonderful. There are also companies that will use some of the ashes to insert into melted glass for necklaces and rings. Maybe those would be a nice idea too?
With the ashes? How does one do that? Lost my best friends a few years ago and been wanting a tat. Sounds like a good idea to use ashes
I had two cats that sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I had known them my whole life and it was really sad when they died, both were about 16 years old and both died within a couple months of each other. They were sisters and it was extremely sad when they died. It is really great to have a person who shares their story and I just want you to know that all your subscribers are here for you if you ever need help.
I am late to this video, and this will be a bit of a crazy story, but losing my "pet" will always be one of the worst things to ever happen to me. It's very difficult for me to even call him a pet. When he passed, he was around 16-17 years old..same age as I was. I had had this pup almost since I was born. He had quite literally been the only one who was there for me in awful times, due to me having to grow up quite independent. He was everything to me, he was my brother, my baby, and even my guardian, as he felt like my old man who always took care of, and watched over me. He was quiet, and smart, and most of the time, his presence felt completely and utterly human. He was part corgi, so earlier in his life he had some serious back problems, which was devastating in itself, as we thought that would be the end, yet he miraculously recovered. Throughout his whole life, I kind of relied on this, jokingly believing he had the secret to immortality, so when he seemed to slowly get sicker, some symptoms due to old age, and he passed, it seemed like I was in a totally surrealistic world. We decided to put him down, it destroyed me to see him in any kind of pain, and I cant, and will never get the look on his face out of his mind. He stared at the doctor, calmly, and didn't look away. Full eye contact. He knew for sure what was happening. I just hope he was ready. I still blame myself for everything. I wish I had done so many things differently. I contemplated, and still do, killing myself many times, I felt like I deserved it, and everyday I beg to have him back in my stead. I would sacrifice my life for him 30 million times over, and this will most definitely sound insane to 95% of people. But he was, and still is, my everything. Unapologetically. Forgive me for this crazy long story that no one will read, I just had to get it off my chest.
your life is worth it trust me you did the best you can you did all YOI could to help him in his times of distress trust me man your worth more than anything you life is precious you are the reason somebody had a good day your the reason that at least one person In life is having a good day don’t do it please you are loved by so many ppl please man don’t do it..
I know you are upset and thank you I'm going through the loss of a pet but you did the right thing it's a hard thing to do and you did it your incredibly strong and all the support is with you thank you 😊
Smartie 17 Hey smartie. Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your own struggles. I hope you're alright xx
Emzotic thank you
Emzotic This reminds me of a hamster I had when I was so young years ago her name was Coco and she was cute, behaved and caring and I'm not much of a hamster person but i was so sad when me and me Mum lost her and my Mum would always tell me she was up in the sky somewhere looking down on us with a smile. I'm so sorry you lost Bear.
I shouldn't watch these videos because I get upset really easily but it made me feel better to see someone that understands what it's like to lose a pet. I lost my cat last October and in the space of two days she went from healthy to the vet's office. I always cry when I look at the picture I have if her for too long... But thankyou for making this video, it helps alot ❤️
Oh man this really made me tear up, it's coming up on the one year mark of losing our family cat who wasn't even two years old. He was so special to me and I still miss him every single day.. I still vividly remember sitting on my brothers bed with him and my mom just crying our hearts out together
Puppycat Awww I am so very sorry for your loss. What a tragedy. I really hope that they left little loving prints all over your heart ❤️❤️❤️
Emzotic He really did ❤🐾 thank you!
I couldn't stop crying even though I've never lost a pet, and then my dog showed up and licked up all of my tears and I cried even harder.
There was this one time my aunts dog passed, his name was zach, and I always decided to sleep on the floor, and use him as a pillow. He was the most beautiful dog, and upon hearing of his passing I was left grieving for over a month.
Bear’s tribute box is just wonderful and beautiful. I just lost my hedgehog Cindy and I’m going to make a scrapbook of good memories with pictures and stories of her
I've watched this video before and while I was still unbelievably upset, rewatching it today hit me so much harder. A few weeks ago I lost my dog. He was only three years old, still a baby. My family had him since he was a month ago as he was a rescue taken away from his mother far too young. I bonded with that puppy so much and he turned out to be the most loyal and sweet dog I have ever owned. He followed me everywhere and cuddled with me at night time before I went to sleep. He got out one time, first time he had ever gotten out, and was hit on the highway in front of my house. It kills me to know that he was alone and that we were too late finding him. I miss him every single day and still I cry over the loss of my baby. Archie was a fantastic dog and I'm never going to forget him or not miss him. But I know that he's happy wherever he is because he can play and have fun and do everything he ever wanted. Pets are family members and nothing less.
I know I'm late to the party on this video, but I felt compelled to comment. Two months ago, I had to make the decision to put my 14-year old dog to sleep. I didn't know I was capable of crying that hard, but I know it was the right decision. Losing a pet is something no one can understand until they go through it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Sorry for adding yet another comment. But this was a sad video but NOT depressing. If had been depressing I’d never have watched it to the end. While it was your tribute to Bear, I’d call it inspiring and comforting for me too. I remembered the dear ones I had to say “Goodbye,” to in my life.
“Are we going to work?”
“No bear I wish we were. I wish were.”
That broke my heart💕
The two people that disliked the video have no heart or life they are truely horrible
Sweetpea Snail or they disliked it because it's a sad topic and they don't feel it's right to "like" something so horrible. A dislike on a video isn't always a bash at someone's talent to make content.
Sweetpea Snail now it's 4 and it's sad.
I'm legitimately crying right now, this is so cute.
I had a dog and his name was Lazer, he was a police dog and was like my brother. we did everything together, swam, played, loved each other everyday. And he was diagnosed with vestibular nystagmus i was heartbroken, if you want to see my fav picture of us Google Mikayla and Lazer Langenberg, there will be a pic of me when I was a baby, and him protecting me. I used to always roll over to him just to play when I couldn't even walk yet. I love him, and will hopefully never get a dog again. his loss hit me hard, but the fact that I lost a brother hit me even harder. I am 12 now and still think of him every day.❤❤❤
LOVE THE PHOTO X sry for your loss
I'm sorry about Lazer. 😞🐕🐕🐶🐶
I'm not crying......my eyes are swimming...... amazing video
I'm so sorry for your loss, some think that crying over pets is stupid, I think otherwise. Small or large your pet is your baby, your best friend, and sometimes your "partner in crime". I have had two hamsters, and currently own a mouse (which I picked up for the first time while watching this video). My first hamster was a male syrian named Storm, he died of old age and I knew it was his time, my other hamsters death was incredibly dramatic and hurt me terribly. She was a beautiful WW named Nori (no not after seaweed, IRON backwards is NORI) and she was very feisty and nippy. After I had her for just under 3 months I noticed she was breathing very hard and was skinny. I at first thought she was just sneezing a little bit but after some more examination she was not. She couldn't even move more than a few inches at a time and was very weak. I stayed up until 3 am which is late for me, I was freaking out and holding her. She wasn't fighting me at all which scared me because she hated human contact. I finally fell asleep and woke up at about 8 and begged my parents to go to the store, we went and bought baby food, and other necessary items to force feed her, she wasn't eating any food . I force fed her for awhile and moved her into a smaller cage(she wasn't moving around much and it would be easier for her to go drink water or eat if she could, also would be easier for me to find her). She stared getting better but the next day she went back downhill. We took her to a vet and they gave us antibiotics and smaller syringes which were incredibly useful but, the veterinarian was a total butt. I could tell from her attitude that she didn't give a poop about Nori and thought she would die in a day or so anyways. None the less we took Nori home and I force fed her the best I could every few hours. She gained about 2g in the next day, and stayed there for a while. In the middle of the experience she started eating tiny bits of cucumber, and was getting slowly better. Then it went downhill again. She lost at least 5g and near the end weighed about 23g, very low for a hamster her size. She ended up dying. She lived 8 days through her sickness. I'm pretty sure she had pneumonia or a respiratory infection, got over it but then near the end developed a tumor, but I'm not sure. Sorry this is super long, thanks for reading.
My two baby hobs are coming home with me next week, one of which I have named Kuma (which means Bear). I'm so excited to share their little lives but honestly the idea of them not living a long life was something that stopped me getting ferrets for many years. This video made me cry, but what I liked about it was how much happiness you had in your eyes when you spoke about Bear.. that's something special and what makes the pain of losing them so young (in our years) more bearable x
videos never make me cry and this one did cause I know one day my dogs Teddy and Koko will pass and it feels unbearable
omg this made me cry. the licking tears off your nose part got me ;(
R.I.P Bear ♥ ♥ ♥
Such a beautiful tribute. Having had a similar experience with my life long cat Missy, it was very hard to watch, I couldn't imagine how hard it was to film. My Missy was 21 when I had to put her down. She was my rock, my shadow and my absolute best friend. I never left her side in the process, I also think that is so important. But every time I look at her urn, or beautiful clay memorial plaque with her paw print pushed in it, I chose to see the happy times, and all the beautiful years we spent together. I also have a tattoo of her paw print, I got that years before she passed, so I would remember the happy times instead of the months following her death where I could hardly bear to think of her.
Thank you for sharing your story, it is a beautiful tribute to Bear and I'm sure it will help console many people as it did for myself.
Nummers Thanks Nummers :) This was really tough to film. Bear was incredibly special to me, and has really left a huge void in my life. He was just the most calm, gentle and massive ferret. He was very dog-like, in that he would love to come and find me and just hang out. He was one of a kind ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss Emily.Bear sounds like he was the softest and cutest ferret
My heart broke and I actually cried 😔 you're very strong. I'm sure your ferret loves you.
I have a story. My first pet that i loved very very much was rescued by my late dad. When my dad died, my Uncle took away my tortoise, Bintang(which meant stars in Malay because my tortoise had a unique pattern on its shell which looked like stars), and he let it go. I never got to say good bye to it and idek where it is now, where it was let go or is it still alive. My dad left 13 years ago and ever since then I never had a pet. It still hurts to think back that I never got the chance to say good bye to my beloved tortoise. Thank you Em for sharing your story ❤️
Watching a pet go is one of the hardest things, my heart goes out to you.
Dear Emma,
My cat of 12 years Spicy has passed away a couple of days ago and I am so devastated. She was everything to me, like my other half, a part of my soul. I have honestly felt like I’m going to die as dramatic as it sounds, my body is actually aching with grief. Animals are so pure and special it’s like when you lose an animal you’re losing a little angel. I really appreciate this video, it really helps to know I’m not alone in how I feel. Unfortunately my dear Spicy passed away at the vet overnight and I couldn’t be there for her and she was alone and I do feel so guilty about it. In my grief on Monday morning when the vet called to tell me what had happened, I told them I didn’t want to come and see her and I didn’t want the ashes because the thought of seeing my baby cold and lifeless was too much to bear. I feel guilty about it now, like as if I missed out on that last chance. I actually wanted to take her paw prints so I could get a tattoo of them a couple years ago but I just never got around to it and I’m so sad now that I’ve lost my chance. I am just happy that she is not suffering anymore and I know she knew she is so completely loved and appreciated.
Hi Em! I just wanted to thank you for this video. I recently had to have my dog put to sleep. Your video helped me to cry, because I haven't, until recently, been able to. I'm a 45 year old man, and find it difficult, as many men do, to show my emotions. You really helped me to do that. Thank you and God bless you xx
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss 😔😔 not going to sugarcoat anything or be unrealistic but the pain will definitely never go away. But as more time goes by it will get alittle bit easier. But you're an amazing and caring human being which is shown by seeing you with your animals! So again I'm very sorry this happened and you will for sure be in my thoughts, sweetheart 💕💕❤️
Thank you for share. Your story literally replayed my story with what my mom and I went through with our Dog Duke. He was our first dog put down. Same symptoms and everything. The part that got me was we couldn't watch it so when you said you stayed with him.. that's awesome. If we could go back we would have stayed with him. I know Duke would've wanted to see us with him. Only thing we regret 😰 It leaves a soft spot in your heart. 💖 #petsareprecious
Breann Kapeliela Thanks so much for sharing your story about Duke. I'm so sorry that you had to say goodbye. I really hope you have hundreds of fond memories to keep him alive in your hearts ❤️
Emzotic ❤️
This video ripped me apart. I have a ferret but luckily he's only 1 1/2 so I've got him for a long time. The little poem on the box got me. Luv you girl! RIP Bear
I couldn't breathe and I definitely can't when you read the quote from the box. I'm so sorry about Bear. Having a pet, your best friend, pass is very painful. I hope you're doing okay.
I am literally crying so hard😢
I bet he was happy to be with you😊
I’m literally sobbing and I’m not even through half the video yet😭 So sad because Bear sounds so innocent and sweet. I know that you gave him such a good life and I hope he enjoyed his life
I cried so much watching this😍 May God Rest His Soul R.I.P Bear❤️❤️❤️💗
“Are we going to go to work?” I broke down crying. I’m so sorry for your loss, he sounded beautiful.
This is a little late having seen when the video was posted but this was such a beautiful tribute and I'm so sorry for your heart breaking loss of such a beautiful loved ferret. Rest in peace bear.
The poem actually made me cry 😢💕
thx so much 4 this video im so sorry 4 ur loss my 2 ferrets recently ran away and this is really helping me cope
Jamie Javier Im sorry to hear about your ferrets :(
I feel very late coming to this. I, literally, just found your channel but I had to say thank you for sharing your experience with your beautiful baby Bear and how you dealt with such a tremendous loss. It's such a different kind of pain, it's almost impossible to describe. As an animal lover, I've been given the opportunity to share my life and love with my babies. And still cry for the ones I've lost. Their paw prints are still there, trailing right across my heart, safe and secure, warm and loved, forever.
May your little Bear rest in peace 🌸
✌🏼
it's ok she was sweet every time I held her she would climb on my shoulder and kiss me on the nose *crys*
lps cat She sounds like an angel xx
That part made me cry :'(
*cries
I can't believe I haven't found you sooner. Just by watching this video I can strongly afirm that my respect for you is tremendous. This world surely need more people like you, such precious creatures as animals/pets need love as real and honest as yours for Bear. Thank you so much for all the amazing content you are giving us, I wish you the best luck. x
Thank you, Emma, and hugs! I shed a few tears watching this, but that's okay. Right there with you. Must have been one of your most difficult videos to make, but I'm glad you did, and I'm glad I watched! XX
Jeff Bricmont I wish I could give you a great big hug! It's ok to cry. Three weeks is still very raw and it will take a long time I'm sure before the absence of your kitty becomes the new norm. I'm so glad that my video helped you a little xx
I cried so hard during thing. My cat of 13 years had to be put down earlier this week and I wasn't able to be there because I live away from my parents now. You are so incredibly brave and thank you so much for sharing this. I know it's an older video but I found it at a time that I needed it most.
How were you able to tell the hole story without crying? I was thinking about my own babies that passed away and listening to the great love you tow shared and I couldn't finish the video without crying. I'm sorry that he's gone but you were lucky to have each other.
I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. This was such a beautiful video. He clearly lived a very full and loved life and he's touched so many people's hearts. Not just in his happy life, but in his peaceful death. I hope that your grief is more manageable these days and that you're closer to the "happy moments" part of it. I'm so glad you told his story.
RIP Bear, you will always be loved. xoxo
i'm watching this at 1:41am absolutely crying my eyes out
i know how hard it can be, my first pet of my own was a hamster named hamilton and he really did mean so much to me. he was so gentle and patient & would never bite. being my first ever pet made the loss hit even harder and watching this (even though it has been a couple years now) reminded me just how hard it can be and how you always have to be prepared for things like this to come around. thank you, and bear sounded like sound a loving, lively spirit :)xx
danielle miller it's 1:41 am where I am right now !!!! How strange !!! AND IM.CRYING ?!
omg i am the biggest animal lover and this made me cry 😣😢 it was so sad pets are so pure they truely love their owners more than themselves 😟 . Be strong!!❤
I live in the UK and my family lives in the States and I had to say goodbye to my cat Star today through skype. Her eyes lit up when she heard me although she couldn't get the energy to lift her head. This video helped me a lot, thank you.
Caity R Oh gosh Caity, I'm so very sorry to hear about your cat.. it must have been terribly hard to say goodbye, but it's wonderful that she got to hear your voice again ❤️
Thank you 💕
Finished the video, cried like a baby. You really gave us very good advice on losing a loving pet. Thank you❤❤❤
It’s so hard losing a pet and at least with me, sometimes you never get past a pet. I lost my cat, Saint, in 2014 and I still cry sometimes because being without him is so hard. He was literally my best friend. I legitimately missed school for at least a couple days afterward because I was grieving so badly, I couldn’t get out of bed or really do anything without crying hysterically. People who try to dismiss it because ‘it’s just an animal’ I don’t know if they will ever understand.
I am sorry for the loss of Bear. I'm sure he knew until his last moment that you were by his side.
I cried for him and he will be missed.
Lots of love from France ❤️
Thank you so so much for sharing this video. I have an African pygmy hedgehog called Pippa who has terminal cancer. Pippa was diagnosed last year and the fact that she is still here is amazing. But the last couple of months she is changing. Sleeping a lot more than usual. Not eating as much. Also a few other things that I just know mean are not right with her. Pippa is more than just a hedgehog, Pippa is my baby and has helped me so much. I have a few serious health problems and Pippa has helped me so much. We have been to the vet several times and there is nothing that can be done. Pippa does not seem to be in any pain or discomfort at all. I've already asked her vet for information about what happens if I need to make THAT decision, also I have the information regarding cremation and the details around that. I absolutely love your memory box with Bears wonderful photo, such a handsome boy 😍. Your video has really helped me, and as soon as you started reading that poem I started crying, I have seen it before, so beautiful. Sorry for such a long post, thank you again. Sending hooman and hedgie hugs from myself and Pippa xxxx (I can't put a picture of Pippa here, if possible can you let me know how and I'll send photo if my baby.)
I'm so glad you made this video, even though I spent most of it sobbing my heart out, you made such a wonderful tribute to him. I, too, have a pet that is my best friend, and although it's not quite his time yet, I have always felt the need to prepare myself and do research on our choices when the time comes. This video was honestly so reassuring, and needed by so many people, as there is not much information and experiences available on such a personal level as this. I dread the day that my baby passes, as he is my first ever pet, and the connection I have with him is unreal. I don't care if people will judge me for when i grieve, and I know they will, as my best friend is a hamster. But honestly, he has been with me through so much already and has been the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Here's to all the adored pets that the world has lost. May they rest in peace over the rainbow bridge.
Thank you, Em, for your continued lessons that you teach to so many people. Your story touches the hearts of everyone you meet, and you will continue to inspire everyone that has the pleasure of experiencing your videos, or of you in general.
R.I.P Bear ❤️
Em, I'm having to watch this one in (at least) 2 parts. The cat whom I've shared my life & home with for the last 14 years had to cross the Rainbow Bridge about 3 weeks ago, so while I'm very interested in hearing the story you're sharing in this video, it's also sharply probing at the tender parts in me, too. I'm sure you can relate! :)
Oh, Jeff. I'm so very sorry. I understand only too well what you must be going through, but you had your cat for a much longer time than I had my beloved ferret, Bear.
Take your time and do whatever works best to help you deal with your grief xxx
Just relating with someone else who's recently gone through the same thing certainly helps. I'm so glad you decided to post this. :)
Jeff Bricmont Well then what I hoped to achieve has been achieved. Even if this video only helps one person, that's enough for me :)
It's tough to share a few things in this video which I found myself doing after Bear died, but grief affects us all in different ways and allowing myself to do what I had to do, regardless of what anyone else thought, was very helpful. It doesn't do to bottle the feelings up. Ride the waves of grief, because it certainly comes in waves, and know that it's utterly normal to be just as affected by the passion of a dear pet as you might be with a human passing.
Never had the pleasure of seeing Bear. You made a statement you wouldn’t cry. It’s okay, I cried for you.
23:50 I me crying so hard r.i.p. Bear we will always remember you 🤞🏻😘
Hi Emma, I just found your videos recently and this video touch me in a very profound way. I lost my rabbit last year and the way my Bella passed away it's similar to the way Bear went. My baby rabbit Bella was a dwaft mini rex and she was 13 years old. She passed away due to old age and we tried to hard to keep her healthy and comfortable. At the end it was a Sunday morning , I had to take her to an emergency care clinic and they put her to sleep. I cried for hours in the parking lot. I had to come home and explain to my 5 yrs old son that Bella went to heaven. My son grew up with her and even now he still asked about her. I cried and cried while watching this video and you are right by saying you have to give yourself time. Time to heal and time to let your heart open again to another pet. Love all your videos and I learned a lot.
My ferret Carlos past away last week I know how u feel,he was my best friend and I know his brother (doodles my other ferret) misses him so sooo much,I love you and your RUclips channel and I’m sorry for ur loss
Cried my eyes out watching this! I lost four cats in the space of a week, to very tragic reasons, and it honestly broke me. No one understood what I was going through so it’s nice to see that there are people who understand. I know it’s been a year since the video was posted, so you’ll have moved on and have the happy memories you needed now :) but thank you for making this video.
You're the best animals keepers ever
I've never lost a pet before, but even then, I cried so much during this entire video. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad that so many people have gone out of their way to try to cheer you up. Bear sounds like an amazing companion and I hope that you'll soon find company with someone else again when you're able to and when you're ready to.
I had 2 cats put to sleep due to F.I.P, both wet and dry types repectively. one on 14 november 2014 and the other was 15 november 2016. it is heart breaking. both girls name Nosie and Jacqueline. I know the pain and the same year of 2014, i had 5 Kittens died of Parvo, i buried all 5 kittens whithin that 7 days. proberly the worst i had to go througtht.
Losing a pet, they are more than just pets, they are family. I teared up watching this. we are deal losing our pets differently. Thanks for the upload.
mentoswatthehell Oh that sounds just so heartbreaking... I'm so sorry :(
Its alright, i'm no stranger for pets dying. but my mum has the hardest time coping, because in around September 2016, her cat(her name is Patches, cause she is a Calico tabby with semi long hair) died from kidney failure. she had kidney problem just before she turn 2 and most cats pass away about/within 3 years since they are diagnose with kidney problem and our Kitty actually out live for another 3 years, so she live for another 6 years after she was diagnose with problems. she pass away in my mums arms on her bed.
My mum have a hard time coping and she cries each time she thinks about her cats and dogs, some i cant even remember their names anymore. we rescued so many through the years
Blessing for you for many years to come and many more fur babies you will have in the future.
P.S we still have 7 cats in the house.
Emzotic sorry for your loss 😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢
mentoswatthehell my bday is on 14 november 😢
I've been apart of the Creature Crew for a bit now but I've just gotten around to watching this video at a time where I really needed it. My beloved budgie Loki passed away a week ago and I've really been struggling with his loss. I also had him cremated and will be picking him up in a few days. I think cremating and keeping their cremains is a wonderful way to remember and honor your friend. Thank you Em for making me feel less silly about the pain I'm experiencing.
Six weeks ago my dear Bubbles had a seizure and two weeks later he went missing. I wish I could have his body in my house like you but we haven't found him and I am finding it hard to deal with the fact that I don't have him and I don't know where he is, what happened, or even if he's still alive. I wish I had somewhere to go to when I miss him or just to be able to say that I know where he is but I don't. I hope that you have learned to cope without Bear.
RIP
❤️❤️❤️🐈🐈🐈
I am so grateful you took time to tell your story about Bear. I made a difficult decision 4 day's ago to put my Lil Lou down. 😪 Lou Lou was my last little ferret. She was my tiniest and had free range of my apartment. She like my other ferrets developed insulonim (hypoglycemia) a very common condition for ferrets. Lil Lou was diagnosed in Spring of 2020. I gave her medicine twice a day up until last Thursday. Thankfully my son was by our side. The veterinarian's office staff were wonderful and compassionate.
Today I find myself having a difficult time coping. I so appreciate your words of encouragement and understanding.
Aww sorry for the loss u are amazing my ferrite died last year and yes I drink hot ribeana i love u and bears and all of your annimalls
This video helped me a lot,especially the how to get over grief of losing a pet part,I do not know how much longer my hermit crab will live but I think he will be over the rainbow by tomorrow,thank you emzotic!
I fill for you last year my ferret died she was 15 my younger one was 5 we had to rehome her because she was on her own . So your not alone I cried about my ferrets when they died because my mum was a breeder so I am sooo sorry for your lost love u Bear.xxx he's always be with you xxxx R.I.P bear xxx
I lost my dog on new years eve. he was my best friend and was always by my side. it was so sudden and he died in my arms. i still have his blanket where he used to sleep on my bed. a thing i would recommend for people who have lost their pet or are going to, get some of their fur and put it in a locket. it is such a comfort to me. thank you so much for this video. i feel like people want me to get over him, but I loved him and he stayed by my side when I had nobody. Thank you saying that its ok to keep mourning them. Loss isn't a set of steps to get over. Its ups and downs and that's okay.
I'm sorry for your loss. Can you make a ferret care video?
Syderrs Bakes Sure thing :) I foster ferrets on occasion for a rescue, so next time I have a foster at home with me, I will :)
Emzotic my dog died at 17 and her name was holly and a few weeks ago I lost my cat because a fox got him his name was Stanley r.i.p I love you both
Courtney Jackson : wow thats a good age for a dog to live for i thought they only live till 12/13 year's depending on there breed
She made one with her two ferrets in the USA
This video really touched me. I just recently lost my baby, Oreo, of 8 years about 3 weeks ago (she was stolen while wandering our front yard) and I've been heart broken ever since. She was truly my little fur baby and I will never be able to forget about her. I know it's not the same as a pet passing away but the pain is still very real. Something I've been hearing a lot is "it's just a cat, you can always get another" but there is no other cat that will replace Oreo and the YEARS of memories. I originally got her during a really dark time in my life and she was seriously my rock so not having her by my side at every little turn has been so hard.
Thank you for sharing your story. 💕
Gosh dang it I thought I wouldn't cry
Thank you for loving little Bear. I had my sweet ferret Winkie for 8 years. He died in my arms on 12-27-15. He was my special sweet and gentle baby. I miss him everyday. I also had him cremated and he is now with me forever. thank you for sharing your story with us. it is a beautiful story :)
7:04 me..... I'm also so sorry about your beloved ferret
Emma, There is so much I could say. You are that shining city on a hill. I needed to hear all you said. May god bless you, in all ways possible.
i cried.
My guinea pig died over a year ago now and I still miss her so much. I really loved her and hope she didn't suffer too much. I hate it when people think you're weird for grieving a pet, it makes me so mad. Thanks for making this video helping people to feel okay about feeling lose for a pet 💖
you would make a great author, Em.
That was such a beautiful poem. I’m sure Bear is still watching closely. Fly up high little buddy.
i started crying at 26:07 and haven't stopped
Zoë Pickles me too
Oh god I've been crying since like the 10 minute mark
I cried so much when I watched this. Bear was obviously an amazing friend, and he was lucky to have such a loving owner (you) in his life.
Your ferret I the cutest thing ever R.I.P bear
this hit home to me i usually don't get emotional but I fought so damn hard to not cry, and it brought back my childhood pet hamster named coconut and bear reminds me so much of him♡ hope you know that there are people who feel your pain and give you best of wishes♡ I'm new here to your channel and I'm glade I found it 😊💜
“Which is why I am a bit loopy 😂
Oh dear...”
my best friend passed away almost three years ago, the way you described Bear's last moments, the weightloss, the incontinence, it was exactly the same... we had to put him to sleep too, and as you were telling the process, I remembered every second, and it was all the same... I felt the last beat of his heart, I saw his last breath... I am so grateful with these creatures that come to our lives to brighten them, my dog taught me real love does exist. Thank you for being so considerate with Bear and his life.
My hamster puff died yesterday.. he was too young, I don't even know if he lived one year.. I never got to celebrate his birthday even though I never knew when he was born.. I wanted to go to the vet and find out what I did wrong but it was too expensive and too late. There is no price I wouldn't pay to have him checked out but that wasn't my choice to make.. I want him cremated and put in an hour glass. It might be a bit morbid but I want to spend the time with him I never got too.. this all happened during hurricane Harvey actually, my mom said he was stressed by the eclipse and hurricane but I don't know. I'll update when we burry or cremate it.. or maybe not idk I'm kinda going through some stuff.. I hope you have a wonderful day whoever you are, thanks for reading.
Sorry for your loss, hope you are okay now and safe from harvey
I'm just coming across this video and I want to thank you. I've had my dog, Jacob, since 2011. I've noticed that he's been getting sick a lot lately and I've worried a bunch about how things would be when he finally passes or I've finally chosen to put him to sleep. This video has put my heart at rest and really makes me realize just how much I appreciate having him and fellow animal lovers like you in this world.
