New Comic + PLUSHIE DISCOUNT

Ahhh, I just discovered your comic today, and I wish I had discovered it earlier! I had to stop after 7 episodes because I was crying too hard... I wish I had been able to get this Reaper Plushie to hug him and feel better. Any chance you might do another limited run?

Doesn't everyone just want to be told they are good once by someone who really means it?

Hey Pal, yes I still try to catch up with comments on older posts (might take a lil while though). I have read your whole text and don't know where to start. First of all, I think it's great how much passion and effort you put into your job, and it sounds like you've come a long way. But I don't want to know how many times your heart has been broken in this job. However, I have absolutely no understanding why someone like your manager would even work this job if he hates cats (and other animals?) so much and hinders your work so much. What's the point? It's good that he is banned from this job forever. I don't want to know how much more damage he has done. Poor little Elane, sometimes it's good that our animals don't understand complex contexts. She will only have known that she wasn't well but you showed her warmth and affection. You were a precious friend in her little world and all the noise around it was irrelevant. That doesn't heal your wounds, but sometimes that thought comforts me. My current dog doesn't understand why his former family "threw him away", he doesn't understand that he was in a kill shelter and they rescued him from there. He just understands that he wasn't happy there and now he finally is again. But I'm really glad that my comics were able to help you a bit, your job is just as important as it is difficult. Even if it doesn't always feel like it, you help a lot of animals. I sincerely wish you lots of strength and wonderful moments inbetween. Stay strong friend.

I don't know of you still read new comments on older posts but if you do, I just wanted to say thank you for making these comics. I've loved animals my whole life and managed to get a job at a Humane Society extremely close to my home as soon as I turned 18. I wasn't told it was an 18+ job so I applied a few weeks before my birthday and got denied for age, bur was told that's the only reason I was rejected. I called on my birthday the minute they called and for the last 4 months I've been a feline technician. I absolutely love the job, in fact I give my all every day and will soon be the new leader of the cat team when the person that taught me all I know moves to dog side like she's wanted. As much as I've loved the job it's been sad, I went through a very hard spot when a virus spread through the cat side of the shelter. We were shut down for 2 and a half months and I was working 4 day stretches of 15 hour shifts to help my animals. On Thanksgiving I brought 27 of our cats to the emergency vet, and what I was told by our manager (who has now been fired and banned from any shelter) that I was going to see if they could be treated or what we could do. In that group was Elane, she came in the day I started and I lived her from that day. I was the only one who saw she liked sleeping under blankets so even when she was on the adoption floor I'd make sure she had a soft blanket or one of my sweaters to sleep under. I spent hours with her, and I planned on filling out her adoption form as soon as she was better. When I got to the emergency vet however I was met by 2 vets that told me that my manager requested to euthanize them because of the sickness. I worked with these cats every single day for 2 months, maybe more, and I had no power but to hang them carriers as they took them into the building. Those weren't all our sick cats, so it's not like she was fully cutting out the virus from the shelter either, our old manager hated the cat side. We needed a medicine to help these sick cats and for a month was told it was backordered, but we discovered it wasn't, she just never ordered it and lied to our face whenever we asked if there was anywhere we could get more because our cats were dying from this virus. I couldn't even go inside with them so I had to sit in the back of our shelter van in the cold, listening to the meows I heard every single day and could know what cat it was get ever quieter as they were brought one by one into the building, only to be replaced by a quiet, still carrier with a bag inside. Elaine sat in the passenger seat on the way home, I covered her carrier with my sweater so she would be comfortable one last time. It was the hardest thing I've done at the shelter so far. I was very depressed, but I read your comics again after a while of honestly forgetting about them and it really helped. They helped me find a sort of closure knowing that they won't be suffering anymore, even though they didn't deserve what happened. I hope Elaine understands and forgives me, I feel horrible that her last moments were in a new place with no one she knew, just slowly falling asleep alone one last time. Her ashes sit on my desk as a reminder of why I need to do better and get in a position that I make the calls, not someone like our old manager who killed our cats and lied to me about it. I just want you to know how much your comics mean to me, especially the ones about losing a pet. I planned on buying 2 of the Guardian cats and reaper pups, one of each for home and one of each for either side on the shelter, maybe one of each for both side if I had the money honestly. I want to show my coworkers your comics, I think it could really help some of them as well, and I think being able to hold the cat and pup when they need to would be very helpful. I donated $50 this time because I wanted to show my appreciation, but that's quite a lot for my pay each month so I had to drop to 20 a month after now. You helped me through so much and will continue to help me because as horrible as it is, I know that there will still be sad moments in the future. I'm lucky someone like you is making these comics, I think everyone that is grieving a loss should see these. Death isn't something to be scared of, but it is something I fear because I lose what I love. I think the quote I resonated most was "Being missed so deeply is the price of being loved so much". The main vet we work with is good at his job, but I don't like him personally because when euthanizing an animal he gives a whole speech on how we'll burn out if we cry, and I got pissed the time he tried to pull that with me and pretty much told him that a lot of these animals come off the street because they weren't loved, me crying won't burn me out but they deserve to know that their presence in this world will be grieved and missed by at least one person, and no matter what in the end they were loved. My tears are from sadness yes, but that's not WHY I cry. I just hope one day when I pass I'll be greeted by the loving reaper and everyone I've helped in my time at the shelter, and all the pets I've lost throughout my life. I hope to some day be able to visit one of your booths at a convention to thank you in person.

Not that I doubted it as we are an awesome bunch but I just got the great news that Guardian Cat and Reaper Dog were both successfully funded

Awwwwwww!

These always make me weep for all my beloved pets gone before. Tomorrow's a death anniversary for Big Red. We miss you, buddy. I know you've gone to stay with my uncle & aunt. They left before you came to us.

Beautiful!
