So. I’m gonna come clean. My dog died. Like, just now. We took her to the vet and she had internal bleeding and they had to put her down. I never even got a chance to post a picture, despite having her for almost the entire time I’ve been on Scratch (around the start of the pandemic) These’ll be the first days I’ll live without having a pet, because first Penny (dog) died, Copper (dog) would die a few years later, but Gizmo (cat) would still be alive (note: we had gizmo, penny, and copper all at the same time since before i was born) and eventually we would get Tillie before he died. And now Tillie’s dead. I already miss her and it’s been 10 minutes. What makes it worse is it’s currently raining outside. I’m posting this because I can’t hang out with any of my friends right now and you guys are the only others I can tell. So to any of you who haven’t lost pets before but do have them: It’s really, really, hard to let go, but you need to keep living. There’s still so many things worth living for. And your friends and family will help you get through it. I might unshare this later, but I can feel my feelings calming down as I type this and let you all know. And by the way, thanks for you all being there with me through all the things I’ve been through. Y’all are amazing <3
