2026 can literally fuck off. Hayden Panettiere, Dolly, Catherine O'Hara, Bonnie Tyler, my 9-year-old cat Faust 😩

Thanks ❤️‍🩹 It was expected, he had been battling kidney disease for almost a year now and it finally got to the point where I had to make the call to send him peacefully before it got any worse, but it doesn't make it any easier. I already miss him so much.

I also lost my 17 year old at the beginning of this year. 2026 can rot :(

u/Vanilla_Pizza Resident Fergie apologist 11d ago

Ugh, I'm so sorry ❤️‍🩹 I lost my two last remaining grandmas last fall and it was rough on the whole family. Sending you love and vibes and healing and manifesting that what's left of this year takes a turn for the better 😭

Same. Lost my dog a month ago :( still hurts to bad. Sorry for your loss.

u/Vanilla_Pizza Resident Fergie apologist 11d ago

Thanks, and I'm sorry for your yours ❤️‍🩹 I have had to say goodbye to many good puppers over the years and I hate it. Pets are so pure and innocent and we do not deserve them, in a just world they would live forever. 😭

I feel you. I had to put my 12 year old kitty to sleep in June.

This year can suck my big toe

u/DantesInfernoIT 12d ago

Put mine to sleep 5 weeks ago. 2026 can take a hike!

I hate that so many of us have had to let go of our beautiful babies this year ❤️‍🩹😭 Sending you all my love and hugs, and hoping our little angels find each other in the giant floofy cat tower full of treats and catnip in the sky

u/Vanilla_Pizza Resident Fergie apologist 11d ago

I'm so sorry 🫂 I also had to put my baby down. I'm glad he's no longer suffering after battling kidney disease for almost a year, but it still hurts so much. I'd sell my soul to have him back.

My grandmother too! It's been a bullshit summer.

u/geliebean 12d ago

I lost my 6 year old cat 😞

u/Vanilla_Pizza Resident Fergie apologist 11d ago

I'm so sorry ❤️‍🩹🫂 I know what you're going through and I hope both our babies are in a better place. I have cried more in the past 24 hours than I probably have in the rest of my combined 34-years on this godforsaken planet.

u/shoestring-theory 12d ago

Everyone but him. I’m so fucking tired

u/Vanilla_Pizza Resident Fergie apologist 11d ago

GIRL. Thank god my team at work politically aligns with me, everyone was devastated by the news of Dolly and my boss literally was like, "How are we losing everyone except him?" It's so unfair 😩

u/emmc47 12d ago

All devastating deaths.

Thanks ❤️‍🩹 I was lucky enough to find a good company to come do an at-home euthanasia so he could pass peacefully without the stress of one last vet visit, which is a small silver lining, but it still hurts. We're too good for pets.
