Artist's Comments

The comedian Chris Farley lived in a van down by the river before he hit it big. My Aunt Ann, who lives in Georgia, was down by "the river" one day, and found this pup in a van. So he was dubbed Farley. Farley came from Georgia to live with us when he was seven months old. Thirteen years later, he's blind and deaf and probably the best friend any one could ever have. He bit the mean kid's butt when he picked on me and tackled you when you ran. Friday, we'll be putting him down, so I was asked by many members of our family to take pictures of him before he left. So here's to Farley, the greatest dog in the world.

This made me really sad. But I feel happy that his pictures will be here for the history of internet-time. I shall hold you and your family in my thoughts.

It was a really sad moment, I guess. I laid next to him for a while and started crying because he's been here for 13 years. And then he just looked me dead in the eyes and I snapped the picture. It hurts to look at because to me it looks like he's saying with his eyes, "Duder, I am totally ready to go." I can barely look at it now. I really appreciate that, really. =] Thank you.

:(

I totally have been through that. My little baby doggy was put to sleep a few years ago and she was around 12 due to cancer. Dogs and cancer is just horrible. Their eyes just tell you stuff you don't want to bear. But be strong. he won't be in pain anymore :)

Oh lordy, I know the whole "eyes just tell you stuff you don't want to bear" thing. When I lay with him now, he looks me right in the eyes, that buttface. I told myself I am NOT getting anymore pets after my other pup goes. I won't go through this crap again, lol. I feel immensely guilty.
:iconsanimexicani:
I still haven't gotten a new pup, although I want to but yeah, it's hard and I don't want to face that again. Although, if I go before him/her, they're f'd!
You shouldn't feel guilty at all. Don't. Please don't.

Yeaaaaaah, too late for the guilty. =P I feel bad because I know he knows. And we have to take him to the vet, and he hates the vet. I picked up some tranquilizers today to calm him down. The bottle freaks me out, I won't even touch it, haha. I honestly have no idea how I'm gonna do it Friday.
:iconsanimexicani:
I think feeling bad is natural. He's like family, I mean he is! 13 years!
You just need to not try to think about Friday until the day gets here. You'll just drive yourself crazy and you don't want that. He'll sense it. And you want him calm.
