Oh my gosh, I'm sobbing. Every one of these comics are heart-breakingly wholesome.

~sniffles~ AWWW THAT POOR PUPPY

Knew this would make me cry.... My last dog - the first one I owned for myself- died in 2017, and I couldn't put the water-bowl away. I could clean up everything else, but not the water-bowl. It needed to be there. Bed, food-bowl, everything else - no problem. Man, I still cry just thinking about taking it away. I knew I would get another dog as soon as possible - the lack of the nails clicking on the floor or the sigh when he went to bed is just too horrible to endure for long - and that water-bowl needed to be there, waiting for the newcomer. I'm lucky, my parents live close and they have a dog, too, so I wasn't ever really dog-less in that time, but damn... My mom said "But you won't just get a new one right away, right??" and I said "nooooooo, of course not" but about half a months later, she said "So... did you look for a new dog yet?" It might sound insensitive, but not in my case. I NEED a dog in my life. So in August 2017, my girl Scully went to live with me. Lucky me.

When my cat passed, I would if occasionally feel him jump on the bed and walk towards me always stopping short.

Always been a crazy cat lady and have lost several cats which have hurt my heart to the core. However I did have one dog Zarda a doberman whom I had to put down. I've always felt really bad to have put her down I felt I done it to early. 20 years later I still can't get another dog as I still feel guilty about Zarda whom I loved more that words can say.

*Hart bursts of prue love and sadness *

This hit hard because all of my dogs have been special and they usually tell Me to get the next one even when they are not here anymore. It's when I don't hear them laying down or I don't get the nudge to go potty even when they are gone.

It made me cry, knowing that my dog MIGHT just do that with me when he dies.... this story was so sweet.

IM NOT CRYING THE ONION NINJAS ARE WORKING OVERTIME AND I CAN'T FIND THEM SO IM GONNA SET MY HOUSE ON FIRE REAL QUICK

I started rescuing cats one or two at a time in 1990. I'm no stranger to having to let them go when it's their time. There's no replacing an animal companion; the way I've always looked at it is, to honor a life that's ended, save another that's in danger.

I have never forgiven my mom for putting my dog down without letting me know so I could come home to be there at the end. And my mom couldn't bear to be with my dog at the end. It's been 22 years and I still cry.

This hit too hard after I put my dog down a few months ago

Reading this with my dog sleeping at my feet. She is almost 10 and I am terrified of the day I have ot let her go. But it's the price we pay. I think, I will get another dog, very soon. Definitely a different breed, though.

We always seem to, in my opinion, get pets a little too fast. We got our 2nd cat, Shade, bout a month after our very very VERY old cat, Dune, died. however... shade died very fast. we got a new cat Indy, and I swear to god he better not die.

I almost cried

Oh my god! I AM CRYING!!! MY CLASSMATES ARE STARING!!!

I really try not to cry at things so easily but these things hit so hard

HONESTLY I didn't even need to read the comic, I just started crying at the cover picture. orz

My cat ran away I loved him but he didn't love me :'/. Like several months later though we found 2 kittens under my grandparents shed and one of the kittens looked just like him. Now thats my adorable cat that's the permanent size of larger kitten. It's so clingy It both sleeps with me and walks into the bathroom with me or sits outside the door and meows, waits, and scratches. I love my cat she's the world to me<3

Yeah, they arnt replacements

#1im crying and i shouldnt be so sad abt this. #2 it may be funny but you guys in the other comments, its OK to cry, got that. onion ninjas or infdoor rain is a silly thing but its not right.

This is why I make an effort to adopt a new dog while my old dog is still active enough to play with and teach them. I don't have to worry so much about cats because new kittens keep popping up on my driveway. Though, I did lose one cat that left me in a huge funk. It took years for me to start to recover from her death, even though she was far from the first pet that I had lost.

I took in my dog Xena now about a month after my dog Muggy passed away. I found myself caring for her, but not exactly loving her. She had such a different little personality and can be very challenging. The turning point was realizing it's ok she isn't the same, and I don't want her to be! Now a year later she's my best friend and a steadfast companion. She didn't fill the hole left by my last dog, but made her own new place in my heart. Sorry for the long comment!!

Can't stop crying.....

Two years ago I lost my baby to lymphoma. She had been abused before she came to me. She didn't know how to dog. She never learned to play with toys, but she was a sweet baby. When she eventually let me get close to her, she'd sneeze which I have learned is a valuable communication tool for a dog, rather than a bark, to say I'm okay, I want to play or something similar. After she left me, I adopted a new baby, and when I was talking to my mom about Sage the very night Crowley came home, he sneezed. I have had him two years, he is not a sneezer. But that night I honestly believe the perfectly timed sneeze was Sage's way of telling me she was still with me, and that she approved of bringing Crowley home. Sometimes he will also give me nose bumps, which was how Koty (the dog I had before Sage) would give kisses, but he is a very exuberant kisser, so when he does the nose bumps it's Koty.

This hurt holy f**k... But thank you for sharing this. A dear advertising colleague and designer passed away cause of covid 19 yesterday. This helped to comfort me. Thanks a lot

okay but this actually made me cry o.o

Ah yes crying right after 2 ACT tests :)
