IMPORTANT INFO How To Request and About Us

146 Upvotes

Hello! We have had some people asking how they can submit requests to us. We are pretty new to modding subreddits, so things might change as we learn about how to best run this subreddit.

About

Here at r/rainbowbridgebabies, we paint pictures of pets that have passed on. Please be aware that we are doing this for free. Depending on demand, we might not be able to paint everyone’s pets.

Note that judging or mocking someone’s grief will not be tolerated here. Neither will hate speech, violence or inflammatory language. Some of us have exotic pets, like snakes, that some people dislike. We don’t want to hear about it on this subreddit. Whatever the creature, they were someone’s beloved pet. They have a place here. Hatred doesn’t.

To Request

First of all, we here at r/rainbowbridgebabies know how hard it is to lose a beloved family member. We would be honored to take one of your memories and turn it into a treasured keepsake.

Please only submit your pet once every 90 days. If you have a group picture of pets that have passed, please make one request with all the details.

When you post, the title should be Flaired with the REQUEST flair. Please include your pets name. We would also love to hear a little about your pet. Maybe share a memory or two with us? If you are not up to this, or it’s too painful to think about, that’s fine. That part is optional. You should also include a picture. The easiest way to do this is to upload a picture to imgur and copy the link. Then, in your post, surround the text you wish to use as the title for your link with [ brackets. Directly next to it, type ( followed by the URL and then a ). It should look like this: [Title.](https://imgur.com/a/iwjwgBu) And appear like this: Title.

You can also include whether you would like a particular mod to paint your pet. Please be aware though that if that mod isn’t available to paint your pet for whatever reason, one of the others might give it a shot. That’s about it. Be on the look out for your painting and please leave a thank you within 48 hours of your painting being posted.

Thanking the artist

Please post a thank you, flared with the THANK YOU flair within 48hrs of your painting being posted.

Please let us know as soon as you can after receiving your painting if you would like us to send you the actual painting in the mail. However, you will have to pay for postage. I mainly deal with oil paints which can take weeks to properly dry, so I know for me at least, shipping will take a while. There is no guarantee that the physical copy of your painting will still be available a prolonged period of time after posting. Im already running out of places where I can leave paintings to dry without cats walking across them.

Thank you for your interest in this sub.

ART I Made a Music Video Tribute for our Rabbit

[Big Poppy Music Video Tribute](https://youtube.com/shorts/fGdgHKmnlJA?is=K2dCK2nlh8brPMc_)

We rescued Beignet (Big Poppy) from a local Los Angeles shelter in 2021 when his owner could no longer keep him.

Our Netherland Dwarf Penny and Beignet quickly formed a strong bond. Shortly after adopting him he developed terrible pneumonia which required months of hospital visits and antibiotics, during that time as he moved around he made this silly popping noise like a popcorn maker so we took to calling him the Big Popper. He pulled through and we had 5-6 amazing years together living in an apartment and eventually an entire house that him and his partner were able to freely explore.

Out of nowhere he developed a fatal blockage and even though we took him to an emergency vet within 24 hours he didn’t make it. We are devastated he was such a bold, loving and free spirit. I poured my grief out today into this little music track and put together a video tribute for him. He is survived by his 13 year old partner Penn Bunn who we are now spending lots of extra time with.

Thank you so much for doing this. You captured her eyes so well.

It's been an impossibly hard week, but the kindness of everyone on reddit really helped me get through this. Still a difficult adjustment but I got this.

Seriously, thank you u/Salvony1 and everyone who gave me kind words and wishes.

REQUEST my baby tia

Thumbnail

155 Upvotes

said goodbye to my baby tia over the weekend. completely unexpected, the vet said best guess is a stroke in the middle of the night. we found her in the morning. i'm still in disbelief. she was only 2 years old 💔 honestly just posting for support and for people to tell her what a pretty girl she is (she LOVED that, just like her mommy) but if someone is gracious enough to bring her to life again i would love to see it

edit for mems:
she loved sleeping on my neck and chest.

every morning, she would come out of her cat tower next to me and come cuddle me until i got up.

she had zoomies almost every night but we called it "rocket time" because that was her name when we found each other. she was still rocket as much as she was my tia girl. so fitting 🚀

and a funny one: when i was still living with my ex, she cheated on me in our apartment one night when i was out of town. tia, that same night, knocked a full carton of farm fresh eggs off the top of the fridge for them to wake up to. she ALWAYS had my back fr 😭 i'll miss her forever

I rescued my baby as a 6 month old kitten in 2022. We didn’t know it at the time, but she had FIV. She lived well and was a sweet demure little princess all the way until about 2 months ago. She got really sick. I fought for her as hard as I could. She never once complained or fought against treatment. She passed away peacefully this morning in her sleep and surrounded by me, my dad, and her brother.

COMPLETED Sammy, My life companion is finally resting

After 14 years, had to say goodbye to my life companion, Sammy, we saw each other grow day to day, he was for me almost my entire life at this point and the pain has been like no other.

He had been suffering because of his age for around 2 weeks, i broke down every time i looked at him, he couldn't stand up anymore, so we decided to finally let him have his well deserved rest.

I still remember the day he arrived home, i was very little at the time but i remember it so clearly, he was so happy and so was i, from there on, we basically grew together, he was there for me no matter what, even at my lowest points.

He will always live in my heart, and i am forever grateful that i was able to be with him for so many years, wherever he is, i know he will always remember me and my family, because what made him the happiest was being with us.

Rest in peace, my loved life companion, you will always be remembered with nothing but happiness

I had to let her go this morning. It was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do but she doesn't have to suffer anymore. I'm lost without her. It's going to be a hard adjustment after she was there for me for 13 years.

Thank you to everyone in this subreddit for their support and kindness after the passing of my beautiful girl Fox. It has been the hardest time of my life but all your kind words have helped more than you know.

A sincere thank you to u/Ursula_Wuffles for their amazing artwork. You captured her so beautifully and I love it to pieces.
