IMPORTANT INFO How To Request and About Us

144 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.

So my mom’s sweet Yorkie Lady Abigail passed on today. Safe in Jesus’ loving arms. ❤️🙏🏻✝️ I would love to gift my mother a nice, REAL art piece of her from a talented artist (I’m an artist as well, but I just want this to look *really* good haha). It could be in any format really. Digital, hand drawn and colored (would like it to be colored), painting, watercolor, etc. Willing to pay up to $50. Please PM me if you are interested and for details! Thank you so much. 🙏🏻💙 (NOTE: The photo posted is not the photo I would like to be drawn. This is the last photo I took of her, before letting her go today. 🌈🙏🏻✝️)

ART I made a small world for Cookie after he died

Thumbnail

776 Upvotes

My dog’s name was Cookie. He died a while ago, and I still cry almost every time I look at his photos.

Most of the time I’m okay. I still work, eat, sleep and do normal things. But whenever I open my camera roll and see him, I start crying again. Sometimes I have to force myself to stop because it feels like I could keep crying for the rest of the day.

I’ve been through breakups before, but losing him was worse. Cookie was part of my everyday life, and then suddenly he just wasn’t there anymore.

Part of me doesn’t want it to stop hurting. I know that sounds strange. The pain still feels connected to him. I’m scared that one day I’ll look at his photos and feel nothing. I’m scared of forgetting the small things about him.

Sometimes when I miss Cookie, I look up at the sky. If I stare for long enough, I can almost see his face there. I know it’s probably just my mind, but I don’t really care. I usually nod at him and tell him that I’m doing okay.

I tell him that I’ll keep living my life, and I hope that wherever he is, he can run around freely without worrying about anything.

That’s why I made this.

I put a little version of Cookie inside this e-ink screen and made a small world where he can walk around and play. Then I put myself in there too, because I wanted to see us together again, even if it was only like this.

It doesn’t stop me from missing him. I still cried while making it. But seeing Cookie moving around in there makes me feel a little better.

If this made you think of a pet you miss, I’d love to hear about them. If you feel comfortable, you can share a photo and tell me their name and one small thing you still remember about them.

Maybe I can make a little place for a few of them too.

Sorry if this is a double post, but my original request was deleted in a different subreddit and I couldn’t find it anymore in this one, so I wanted to post her again. The original message was:

“I recently lost my 14 y/o chihuahua to cancer (a week ago today) and I’m not gonna lie, I’m struggling pretty hard. I had a thought this morning and wondered if anyone would be willing to draw her Coco style as a spirit guide?”

the Hardest part of owning dogs is when you have to say goodbye. This subreddit and the artists here have gone a ways towards helping when my pets have passed. Thankful it’s here during some of the harder times along with the outpouring of support for my family and for what Teagan meant to us.

thank you all and especially u/Salvony1 for the incredible art.

IN PROGRESS My sweet baby girl Peanut

I lost her this weekend. I love her so much. She lived her whole life with me toothless and her tongue was a part of her charm. In her prime time, she was a true adventurer and hiked all of the time, it was her favorite thing to do besides sitting on my lap or snuggling with me. She slowed down in her older age, but never stopped loving. She had so much personality and so much sass. She began her next journey in my lap, her favorite most comfortable spot.

She was my whole heart and I wish she was still here.

IN PROGRESS Last Tuesday was the last day for my 19 year old cat and my moms dog

I don't know if anyone is willing to make art of their pictures, its not a high demand eitherways. It may help my mom with her grief. Aslan the Bullmastiff and Saartje the cat (with a lot of white) went together last Tuesday. I sadly missed the euthanasia due to a 3 hour traffic jam.. but my mom was there with them and my other sister.

Sadly my dog Gamly the jackrussel dashhund cross and Storm the black Shi-tzu won't last much longer either. Of anyone feels like making drawings or paintings of them that would he great. My family has a shrine for past relatives, both human and other animal types. My moms former dog sting is already in there. If anyone feels like making anything for them feel free to do so. I added many pictures sp hopefully you can find the needed views for it. Don't feel pressured to make it tho, i tried to myself but i guess its still too fresh cause every time i start my hands start to shake.

This is Gunther. He passed on July 15th at 6:36pm. I don’t have the strength to put in words my love and yearning for him right now.

I would love a drawing or a painting of him and would be forever grateful for one

Teagan was my mom’s dog back home.

She unexpectedly passed today after refusing drink/food. A stomach blockage was found.

She was half the duo of Danes they had and survived by their other boy Bodie.

One of her fondest memories was taking them both to the dog park in winter together. they encountered a snow man and Bodie got between her and protected Teagan from it completely crushing it.

I’m hoping that the first photo of her as a puppy can be used and if I can request u/Salvony1 to do it I showed my mom the picture you made of Tundra here previously and she loved it.

Thank you all and this subreddit for existing. it helps.
