Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
So i recently lost a pet (like- last night)
and I got really sentimental and emotional and I started thinking about other pets i'd lost
so i designed this - a tattoo im going to get when im older
each print represents an animal ive lost
the filled in paw prints are cats
the hollow paw prints are dogs
there are chicken prints and a seagull print
as well as hermit crab claws
and a deer print
all this to say: memorialize your pets in some way. it doesn't have to be a tattoo, but just something to remember them by. making this helped me grieve. I recommend it.

Is your pet chipped? They should be. Do you know who made the chip?
Pet RFID chips are so small that there's really only room on them for a serial number. When your lost pet is brought to a shelter or a vet's office, they can scan the chip, read that number, and then type it into a program that draws from a series of linked databases to find your name and phone number. That's how they find you, and tell you that Silly Lilly von Wigglesbottom has gone wandering, and she's safe and sound, and would you come get her, please?
Texas-based Save This Life, which provided chips to vets and shelters all across the US, has all at once and abruptly gone dark; their database is just gone. Their customers were not given warning and so did not know to change their registration to another company. A lot of animals have basically become anonymous now.
If you don't know what company you've been using, call your vet's office and ask what pet chip number they have on file. If the chip number starts with 991 or 900164, it's probably a Safe This Life chip.
If it turns out yours is one of the affected cases, the chip itself will still be fine! There's no need to add another, or anything like that. You'll just need to transfer the number to another company, and your vet should be able to recommend the one that they like the best.

THERE ARE NEW PETS!
RED ALERT, RED ALERT!
NEW PETS!
Microchipping pets is super important! You can get it done for cheap too. Pets who have microchips have a higher chance to be returned home if they get lost. It is however just as important to keep your pets updated and keep tract of thr company! I personally use home again due to being able to pay a yearly subscription of $20-$25 for additional benefits including them reimbursing some costs should I have to travel to pick my animal up. You can also sign up for a newsletter, free with just your email, to be notified of lost or missing animals in your area

This legit me sometimes lol
I just want to share my favorite cat, Senya with my nightmare at home. Yes, he is an absolute chaos maker, an innocent-eyed devil, an absolute devourer of any food he can eat, but I love this cute gremlin~
Also, although I don’t photograph him much, I can’t help but show my beloved grandfather, pet, and almost brother, who over the years has endured and experienced a lot - Ryzhik. The most calm cat, although very arrogant, I love him ( ̄ω ̄)
If you and your partner had a pet that was previously owned by one of your exes, but there's lots of drama surrounding that past. Would you reach out to that person when the pet passes to inform or offer paw prints? Or is that no longer something to inform them on. (See below for more info)
For further context, the ex grew up with the pet and left him when they moved. The pet is declining, and I don't believe he will be around for more than a year. My heart feels bad if I don't reach out as i would want to know. But there's so much drama in the past I don't want to open the door for more again. I feel like there's no right answer either way. I'm somehow going to get bit in the ass 🙃
