Thank you so much for writing this post, Bethany 🩷 My dog also passed away in 2023, so it really hit home for me. I was crying while reading this because it was so beautiful and moving. It made me feel really seen because not everyone understands what it’s like to lose a pet. I know that anyone who reads your post will feel less alone and more hopeful. Thank you for your open and honest writing, I’ve been a big fan of your music for a while now. And sending love to the person who wrote the letter as well 🩷
You covered so much. My comments will flip flop as when I'm sad my favourite dog arrives in dreams in an anxious scenario I didn't feed her, where is her water!? But I now take it as her going you were attached at my hip. Come on! Sillers. This is only lately. It's been 20 years. Sorry. It's heart tough. I get hugs recently but realisation in dreams it's a tiny moment. I know she's not alive. The weirdest thing is I'm that science kid until you say dreams and animals 😂. Dogs are easier for me, if the above is "easy". But human loss, well. I get mocked in dreams. Prolific mockery and no idea when to anticipate it. Not a dog dream. That's an anxiety or sadness. Humans, it's brattiness. I use dreams as my channel. But mourning, say Canada or US is a check list. Like do this and then good. Sorry but that's idiotic. I look to other cultures. Love Snackers. Wish my doggo was to welcome, only she wouldn't care. Haha. The poshest but most loyal dog. Just not interested in performing. Pick your method. But big hug and big sorry that you need to embrace a new home in your heart, dreams, art, etc, via how much you care. But you will have a beautiful moment. I just took 20 years to accept hugs not trying prevent the obvious. So, the rare occasion I throw my friends off is me sharing dream speak. Haha. Who cares if true. Snackers is your forever animal. Not gone but my reflection now maybe I did need 20 years to embrace it. big hugs. Your forever, not a get over it. Sorry, that's just ridiculous.
Hi Bethany, you got me legit crying over here! I also have a senior fluffy orange boy cat and he means everything to me (and Snacks reminds me SO much of him), as well as my girl cat that is my absolute baby and I’ve had for 15 years. My girl has been with me for everything, different cities, different homes, and all the trials and tribulations in between, always being a huge source of love and comfort for me. I think what has given me more peace about death is honestly mushroom trips and I try to remember we’re spiritual beings having a human (or cat) experience and this isn’t the be-all end-all. I like to think this isn’t “it” for us. All the love and I always enjoy hearing about Snacks. ❤️ ◡̈
I lost my best friend, a wonderfully silly looking Boston terrier, 13 years ago. I still have his ashes. I don’t know what to do with them. It’s been so long. Is it disrespectful to spread them and let go? I’ve struggled with it for so long.
I lost my perfect kitty of 17 years recently. A torti named Ratatat (after the band not the Pokemon) that I adopted from my local shelter the week I graduated college, and just shortly before I bought your 1st Best Coast s/t 7". She was perfect in every way, and anyone that met her agreed. Like a little dog she would greet me at the door when I arrived home, always ready for a chatty conversation. She slept in my bed always spooning behind my knees, and became quite the lap cat. She was rubber, I'd hang her upside or she'd sit on my head/shoulders like a weird lil parakeet: Cat Hat was her signature trick. When she got sick at the end, for really the first time in her life, I was devastated. I did the expensive vet trips and meds three times a day, but thankfully it was relatively quick only lasting a couple months. I buried her in the backyard of my house under a trestle covered in a grapevine, where I can see life blooming daily.
Thanks for sharing about Snacks, been thoroughly enjoying these entries.

Im so sorry for your loss! I don’t think there are any rules to how you honor your buddy - if that is what works for you, go for it ❤️
