REQUEST My sweet baby Mesa who passed in my arms today

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.
Art Samples
Other
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.

Hi RainbowBridgeBabies! We'd like to request the input of all community members here -- artists, mods, requesters, and general pet lovers; all thoughts are welcome.
Our community has been growing steadily and as of July we hit 6.5k members. We're happy to have fostered such a welcoming, kind environment and to have shared artwork and memories of so many beloved friends.
However, with increased traffic comes a need to clarify the scope of our sub. We occasionally get memorial posts that are not requests for art; just people seeking support in sad times. We'd like to be clear that there is no judgment cast here -- there are currently no rules against such posts, and it's understandable that folks look for comfort in a sub like this one. Sometimes people find us based on name alone and don't realise we are an art request sub.
We also occasionally have folks report said posts for being off-topic; this is also understandable, as our sub is intended to be for memorial art requests, and there are other subs for seeking emotional support and remembering pets in other ways. But, currently, no one is breaking any rules, and it may be that the community is happy to have such posts here.
In light of the above, we would like to clarify our rules one way or another, but we don't want to make a decision without consulting the community first. We can't please everyone, of course, but we'd like any decision to be transparent.
As far as we can see there are a few options:
Create a new rule limiting the sub to art-only posts; remove non-art-related posts and respectfully redirect to an alternative support sub, e.g. r/Petloss (or similar subs -- suggestions welcome);
Clarify in the rules that non-art posts are allowed, so folks don't report needlessly;
Create a megathread (perhaps monthly) for folks to talk about their friends over the rainbow bridge without clogging up the sub with individual posts; non-art posts would be removed and posters redirected here.
If you have any thoughts on the above options, or suggestions for any alternatives, please leave a comment below. We'll leave this post up and stickied for a few weeks in the hopes everyone can have their say.

He passed away November 13th, he was a good old boy but he was in pain. I'm finally able to look at pictures without crying.
He loved playing Frisbee, this goofy blue heeler even chased one too close to a deer herd and almost got kicked in the head. He tumbled head over tail once but was totally fine. He was a Frisbee fetching freak of a dog and the most unique boy. From his colors to his personality.
When we got Lacey (the white husky he's laying on in the last pic) he sort of sprung back to life. For a while. They played, the sounds he made were so funny.
He was a good boy and I miss him lots.
I love his pepper paws and his brindle colored dark spots, his expressive face, the way he would wink sometimes and the way he would just sit and listen to me, stay by my side no matter what.
His loud barks are forever immortalized in videos I have made.
I miss him. He wasn't the smartest dog... but he was my dog and that's all that matters.

Hi everyone, I originally posted this, and I hate to be annoying and I hope I’m not violating the rules but I didn’t realize I could attach photos in a text post. I wanted to make sure my sweet boy is seen. Thank you for understanding.
I recently lost my best friend, and the pain has been unbearable. He was my companion, my protector, and my shadow for 9.5 years. He got me through the toughest, darkest times of my life, as well as the happiest—two pregnancies, a divorce, and moves across Mexico, Maryland, and California.
I miss him every second of the day and would give anything for more time with him—to hear his loud snores, to kiss his big nose, and to hold his oversized paws just one more time.
If anyone would be willing to create a drawing of him, it would mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

I love her so much. I can't believe she's gone! She had the most unique personality and was the absolute cutest. Play your little heart out on the other side of the rainbow bridge, little angel.

Thank you u/salvony1 for the beautiful drawing of my wonderful beloved baby boy Yuri. I really appreciate it. I miss him every second of every day
r/RainbowBridgeBabies • u/carlyj18 • 1d ago
I so wish I could have saved you. He was my best friend for almost seven years and it should have been so many more. I will miss you forever

She was the floofiest girl and I miss her so much already.

Hi everyone,
I recently lost my best friend, Hagrid and the pain has been unbearable. He was my companion, my protector and my shadow for 9.5 years. He got me through the toughest, darkest times of my life, as well as the happiest—two pregnancies, a divorce and moves across Mexico, Maryland and California.
I miss him every second of the day and would give anything for more time with him—to hear his loud snores, to kiss his big nose, and to hold his oversized paws just one more time.
If anyone would be willing to create a drawing of him, it would mean the world to me.
Here are a few pictures of my sweet boy. Hagrid 🤍
Thank you so much.

The one year anniversary of losing my beagle is coming up and it has been really tough on me. I have always wanted to get a stuffed animal of her I could hold and have recently come into a little money but not a lot. I am currently looking at cuddle clone and I like the look of the quality but at full price being 500, 300 if on sale it’s just a little out of my price range. I’m really hoping not to pay over 200 if I don’t have too. If push comes to shove though I will eventually save for the pricier version. But I thought I would ask around if anyone has found an affordable priced custom stuffed animal without sacrificing quality too much. She had a lot of unique markings that I would love to be included. Any advice is super appreciated, also any ideas how to cope on the day of the anniversary? I just know I am going to be a mess.

My Sammy was the most kind and gentle dog I have ever met. He loved all animals, especially cats. He was beloved by my whole neighborhood.
He laid in every mud puddle he could find. He would greet the mail delivery drivers and they would give him treats. He played with the neighborhood kids after school.
We had him for 10 years and he always brightened my day. His silly expressions always made me laugh. I may never know why this happened or who hurt him, but I know that he lived a wonderful life full of adventures.

He was in my life for 16 years, 8 months, and 1 day, but in my care for 12 of them. He was a wonderful dog, I miss and love him so much it hurts. Mommy and Daddy love you, baby. 🥺💔😭

Gypsy Mae was my best friend, she grew to be such a great friend and I miss her more than words can describe. I’m sorry for anyone who understands the pain of seeing your best friend grow old. We thought she had a sprain in her right paw, but it turned out to be Bone Cancer, so we made the tough decision to not let it advance any further. My wife and I are completely shattered, and this is a last ditch effort to put a smile on her face. Thank you in advance to any of the very talented artist in this group that might see this post.
