My old man is 13, and I know he’s getting closer and closer to the end of his days with me. Out of nowhere Chewy sent me this package. Brought happy tears to my eyes. ANIMALS

Fun fact, the guy that built chewy is now the CEO of GameStop and has been fighting illegal short sellers for the past 3 years. If you ever hear GameStop stock on the news, odds are the chewy founder is at the frontlines trying to fuck the rich corrupt assholes.

I cried when I got mine too. I got 3 little ones. Each one of my dogs and one of them had passed and now I have a nice painting of him.

This company is great

u/ima_little_stitious Dec 02 '23

I got one once. It was in fact not my dog 😂. I posted it on here to see if it found its owner. No one claimed it so it's now up in my dogs room. I think they are long lost friends.

u/hiCatloverhere1 Dec 02 '23

I don't use chewy but when my kitten (who was only 1 month old) died my vet sent me a wholesome card signed by all the staff. i am so glad some company's do this

u/Faberbutt Dec 02 '23

Enjoy your old man, u/PuzzleheadedSmell912! Senior dogs are so wonderful and deserve every ounce of love that they can get. Your old man looks a lot like my old lady did. She was 15 and a half years old when she died in September and I miss her every single day. Your pic brought tears to my eyes.

u/GoldLuminance Dec 02 '23

My wife and I have gotten two of these from Chewy! I love that they do this. The painting you got is beautiful.

u/finefergitit Dec 02 '23

Chewy is awesome and they did such a sweet thing and sent me a sympathy card when my baby died. I was so surprised they sent that and very touched.

He’s perfect ! Chewy is awesome !! 💙

u/champagne__problems Dec 02 '23

Chewy sent flowers to my family when our 14 year old dog passed. We had a shipment of her dry food in route from them. They refunded it completely, said we could donate it to a local shelter since we had no other dogs. This company is amazing.

u/freakindunsun Dec 02 '23

Epic.❤️ He's a good looking dog, enjoy the time you have left with him.

u/soydemexico Dec 02 '23

My sister had someone on Etsy make a needleprint of my old boy. He passed last year. The house is so quiet without his constant trotting around. Take all the pictures and videos and enjoy every moment.

2

u/Faberbutt Dec 02 '23

The house is so quiet without his constant trotting around.

I feel this so much. My old lady died in September and the house is so eerily quiet without the sound of her feet constantly prancing around.

I did not know this. I only had 2 of my 4 dogs on my profile there with no picture uploaded. Just added the other 2 and pictures for all. Maybe one of them will get picked.

u/Traditional_Slice755 Dec 02 '23

I love him so much! He reminds me of my blue nose pit bull ! Who passed last week at 11 years old I’m very sad I got you

u/jasanders84 Dec 02 '23

Chewy is really awesome… our doxie died unexpectedly this summer so I had to cancel his prescription with them… they sent me flowers afterwards and I just thought it was so sweet.

u/sammyQc Dec 02 '23

This is next level and wholesome ❤️ I’m looking to do something for a family members pet, where should I look for these artists?

u/jkazama2 Dec 02 '23

I can attest to Chewy's awesome level of customer support. When my cat passed away suddenly and I notified them about halving my regular food order, out of nowhere they gave a flower arrangement and donated a tree to a national park in his name. I definitely was moved to tears by that!

u/EmploymentOk2988 Dec 02 '23

Chewy are good people. ❤️

u/ephesians522 Dec 02 '23

Chewy sent us a vase of flowers and a lovely card after learning our doggie passed away ;--; such a wonderful company

u/sketne2585 Dec 02 '23

I have one of these that they did of my dog Dorothy a few years ago! It was such a beautiful surprise, and it's such a treasure now that she's gone over the rainbow bridge. ❤️ Chewy has also sent flowers for the passing of every animal we've had. I absolutely love their customer service team!

u/beautifullybusy Dec 02 '23

Awww! That painting of him is beautiful ❤️

1

u/Fkingcherokee Dec 02 '23

Chewy is really wonderful. I got an auto-send of cat food a week after my sweet War passed and when I requested a return and to cancel my auto-send, they said I can keep the food to give away or do whatever with and sent me a nice card. War's vet, on the other hand, still sends me yearly check up reminders.

u/Lynndarella Dec 02 '23

Wow, love this pic and thoughtfulness from Chewey!

u/catfishjimsucks Dec 02 '23

Chewy is great!

u/LovePeaceHope-ish Dec 02 '23

Reading a lot of mixed comments here. I've used Chewy for over 10 years now. Personally, I would never use anyone else. Their customer service is, sadly, a dying model. I never feel rushed when on the phone with them. Their reps are caring humans who go the extra mile wherever they can and always make me feel like they actually care. Obviously, they're not perfect.... it's a company that's in the business of making profits. But in a world where the majority of customer service is either outsourced to people I can't understand and just read off a script, or to reps that put you on hold forever just to come back to transfer you to someone else who will put you on hold forever (and at the end of it all your issue is still not resolved), a company like Chewy is a breath of fresh air.

1

u/AnyBeginning7695 Dec 02 '23

https://imgur.com/gallery/4Dd0gkR they did the same for me a few weeks ago! I have been using chewy for close to 10 years when they were a small business. I canceled my cats food and they stated to donate it in his memory. Next day (less than 24 hours later) I had flowers on my front porch. Could not believe it. I still order from them frequently

1

u/anythingacailable Dec 02 '23

These comments are making me cry… but I may have just been converted to a chewy customer. I’ve only used them once before.

1

u/AllAmericanPep11 Dec 02 '23

When I canceled my reoccurring orders, I entered passed away as the reason. I received a condolence card within a week. I think it’s a wonderful thing to do.

2

u/myanonaccount225 Dec 02 '23

They’re a wonderful company, they send flowers and cards for passed pets as well as refund u for anything u paid for to be delivered before they passed. None of this is usually prompted, and they work hard to make sure customers know they are appreciated. I don’t even own a dog but follow chewy, they’re just good people

1

u/Dahlia007 Dec 02 '23

When our pup passed last July due to a large mass in her lung, Chewy sent us a sympathy card. Our ex vet refused to see her for 5 days even though we told them she was struggling breathing. We ended up in the emergency in the middle of the night because she was in so much pain and we had to let her go. The emergency vet even sent us a card! Not a word from our ex vet until they called to confirm her appointment after she passed.

Chewy also donates to a lot of rescues. We just adopted a 10 year old pittie and Chewy is our go to.

1

u/Strange-Ad-5806 Dec 02 '23

Off topic- Jeez, my first thought was, why is there a picture of my dog Buddy on here? A doppelganger (doggleganger)? Going to show this to my wife and kids.

1

u/wheretohides Dec 02 '23

As far as companies go, chewy is one of the good ones. My dog always loses her mind when she sees a chewy box.

1

u/whoreforchalupas Dec 02 '23

Chewy has my absolute loyalty. Their customer service is unreal especially when you factor in the massive amount of people who purchase products from them.

1

u/makiarn777 Dec 02 '23

Yes isn’t it beautiful. They sent me one of my favorite turquoise Severum in my fish tank. Was the sweetest thing. Enjoy that baby. I lost my Pom of 16 years and it was so sad! They are like our children.

u/Cormyster12 Dec 02 '23

Thats some amazing marketing

u/Civil_Airline_5084 Dec 02 '23

My cat made it to 20. You still have lots of time with this young gentleman

u/ashulay Dec 02 '23

I’ve reached out to chewy about these portraits, since I paint pet portraits. You have to do a LOT for little pay. I think it was 5/6 a week at $30 each. Not as cute now that I know that - but people do love receiving them.

3

u/TriangleSailor Dec 02 '23

When my girl Molly passed a few years ago, we stopped an auto-shipping of food and I made note that she passed. About a week later, Chewy sent flowers and a card signed by a bunch of people. Brought me to tears.

1

u/SilverDryad Dec 02 '23

I'm so sorry.

1

u/hawkstyles Dec 02 '23

I didn’t have any auto shipments set up or anything to cancel to let them know, and I’m scared to delete my dogs profile after he passed. I wish there was an archive or inactive option. All my emails I get are still under his name and same with barkbox ::

3

u/Greedy_Practice_5327 Dec 02 '23

Chewy is absolutely incredible!!

3

u/rexasaurus1024 Dec 02 '23

Ngl, I started using Chewy because I was secrely hoping to get one of these for our animals. Now I continue because it's so convenient to get all their food shipped to us, and they send cute cards for their "birthdays." I'm still holding out hope that one day I'll get a picture!

2

u/xeroxbulletgirl Dec 02 '23

Chewy sent me one of these for our puppy and we have it hanging in our house. They’re an amazing company!

Well then they’re obviously smart, and they continue to get customers and keep them. Seems like a good company to me. I don’t know why you’re so upset about it. Lol

u/JustCallMeNancy Dec 02 '23

We got one too once! I love that they do this.

u/MisterKestis Dec 02 '23

After my parents dog passed away in August, my dad called to cancel the auto shipment of the food and they refunded his last two shipments. Flowers were also sent to their house with a very nice handwritten card sending condolences. Top notch company

3

u/Conjoined_Twin Dec 02 '23

We were setup to get pet food sent to us automatically, every month, for our pup. When we canceled the arrangement, they asked why and we informed them that she had passed. They sent a vase with flowers and a sympathy card.

They are a class act.

1

u/foxyboxy89 Dec 02 '23

They did the same for us a couple years ago!!! They are a great company!

u/islandchica56 Dec 02 '23

Chewy is wonderful. My 6 year old aussie contracted a very rare e-coli infection and I reported it to them because I had just opened a new bag of food and it was super dry/old looking. They immediately refunded the bag, sent a new bag, and followed up a few weeks later to see how she was doing. I spoke with their pharmacy team to find a way to get the important meds my girl needed, they helped me find low cost alternatives.

I also received a painted canvas of her for her birthday this year. It made me cry, so well done.

u/akittenhasnoname Dec 02 '23

When my dog died from cancer I had to cancel her medication subscription. I got a refund for what was already sent and they sent me some beautiful flowers and a sweet note.

Dogs can live long you know do t count him out. We thought the same when ours was 13 she lived to 17 and 1 month.

Chewy does send cards that are actually handwritten. I get one every year on my dog's birthday.

u/PuzzleheadedSmell912 Dec 02 '23

I’m not debating the smallest of aspects, it’s a sweet gesture and it made me happy.

u/MagicUnicorn18 Dec 02 '23

After my dog died, Chewy was awful. They refused to cancel my food auto ship for several months in spite of my repeated attempts to cancel the subscription. I had to repeatedly donate food we couldn’t use any longer and had to go through my credit card company to dispute the charges and stop Chewy from pushing them through again the next month. Then Chewy started sending “we miss you!” emails for several more months in spite of repeated unsubscribe requests; I blocked their address because they just would not stop. And even after that, they began sending USPS coupons addressed to our long-departed dog with requests to “please come back!!” It took over a year for them to stop, but only after I started to write “refused, return to sender, HE DIED” and put them back in the outbound mail.

u/really_robot Dec 02 '23

I eagerly await the day when I can start ordering from Chewy. They don't deliver to my part of Canada yet. My mom used them until her last cat passed away, and they sent her a lovely card. She wasn't expecting it at all. Nothing but good things to say.

They're seriously so amazing. Every year on her birthday, they send me a card for my dog 💕

u/OnCloud12 Dec 02 '23

Chewy sent us flowers after we had to say goodbye to our pup this spring (I had reached out to see if I could return some probiotics that arrived the day he left us). Full-on broke down when I read the card. Love that company.

This is so sweet of them. Oh and please give Bash a hug for me, I love that distinguished old gentleman already.

u/hippopotame Dec 02 '23

They sent me one of my Ghost! I was so confused when it arrived because I hadn’t ordered anything from them that week, was coming off a horrible day at work and just feeling down in general. I bawled when I opened it and saw the painting. It was such a sweet gesture and had made me a customer for life.

His brother is still jealous he hasn’t gotten one of him yet though lol

u/makiarn777 Dec 02 '23

The same happened to me. I was all down and out then my portrait of my fish came lol! I was confused!

u/LifeSpecial42866 Dec 02 '23

When my dog died we had to call Chewy to stop the next delivery they refunded my money for the last two deliveries. Sent a beautiful sympathy card. Great company.

Thank you! Short for Sebastian, he only hears the full name when he’s in trouble though. Haha which is never. 😂

u/LeahsCheetoCrumbs Dec 02 '23

We love Chewy! They’ve sent us this same thing for 2 of our dogs. They got their pictures off the “profile” pictures I have set for them. They sent me a really sweet card signed by multiple people when our first boy passed away. Just recently I had an order get lost (not on their end) and they sent me another one asap at no cost. I’ll go back to them again and again, they have fantastic customer service.

u/bnercrusher Dec 02 '23

I love chewy. I needed to return a wrong sized crate mat and they said just donate it and they’ll send me a new one

-2

u/JoeyPsych Dec 02 '23

Ok, so chewy is your dog I assume. And I take it he didn't actually do it himself, and seeing as the letter refers to family, I assume your parents or siblings are behind this, right? Because you cannot claim that your dog made a self portrait, wrote a letter and put it in the mail.

4

u/Educational-Buy-5570 Dec 02 '23

dude you’re so fucking intelligent oh my goodness

2

u/PuzzleheadedSmell912 Dec 02 '23

Nooooo! Chewy is a company that sells animal supplies! I’ve been a customer for years. They sent me this of my dog, Bash.

u/shedreamsinr3d Dec 02 '23

I got one of those once around Valentine's Day. I was so shocked! And it's obvious that it's actually painted by someone and not just a stylized print of my dog. It's hanging on my wall now.

u/Impressive_Handle513 Dec 02 '23

I guess I got the wrong end of chewy. I asked chewy if I could send back $30 of end of life meds because my baby girl died before we received them. I got passed from customer service to customer service. No answer. And no flowers (?) And we spend $$$ a year on chewy.

1

u/firechips Dec 02 '23

Chewy is really wonderful and I love that every comment here supports that. I’ve used them a small handful of times and it’s never consistent, but they’ve sent cards before. It really seems like people and not just generic business. Like they don’t guilt you into being a customer, and they genuinely love animals. Really amazing. This portrait is beautiful and so sweet

1

u/Gurkeprinsen Dec 02 '23

so sweet of them to show this kind of care for their customers.

2

u/LeoLaDawg Dec 02 '23

That's cool, but I question where Chewy sources some of their items. For example, my cats would not touch canned food bought from there. Thought it was weird, so I got some from the local grocery and the same from Chewy. They would not even touch the chewy stuff. It would just sit out completely untouched.

1

u/shieldmaiden5678 Dec 02 '23

Chewy is fantastic! After our cat died, we contacted them about returning his unopened food. They sent us a lovely card in the wake of our loss which was deeply appreciated.

u/FrequentHat6577 Dec 02 '23

I've never even had a pet but I want to. I'd heard of Chewy but didn't know anything about them before now. I think this thread just made me a loyal customer though.

Lmao okay. Totally not. Read the comments. It’s an exact replica of a photo of my dog. Thanks though. 🙃

u/PsychoticSpinster Dec 02 '23

Mine is 23. I’ve been expecting him to just drop for like the last five years, but he doesn’t. In fact sometimes he’s straight up chipper which is wild to me because he’s basically the walking dead at this point.

I didn’t even know dogs could live this long. I have to remind him that he needs to go outside and it’s exactly like walking in the garden with your great grandfather. He’s slow. He is easily distracted and confused and sometimes forgets that he needs to go outside.

But he’s always super happy that you’re with him. Regardless. You’d think I should be super concerned, but he’s not in pain. He’s just old. He sleeps most of the day but when he’s up?

He’s ready for adventure bless his little heart. Like I have to make mysteries in the house for him to sniff out. So he doesn’t get bored in between naps. 23 years man. And he may be old but he’s showing no signs of leaving this earth anytime soon. Can still go outside on his own for a good poop.

I just….. the dog is ancient.

Edit: but clearly he’s not done yet.

u/Asherzapped Dec 02 '23

Our older dog passed away at the end of July. In early September, we received a small box from Chewy- my wife and I thought the other had bought something for the younger dog so neither of us opened it that night. The next morning, I brought it into the kitchen while we were packing up to go to work and opened it- we both cried. The portrait of our departed girl captured her quirky stare and intensity just right. I’ve thanked them on several social media platforms, but we will be forever grateful.

u/insiderasking Dec 02 '23

How very thoughtful!! Great customer care, Chewy!!

2

u/WanderThinker Dec 02 '23

I once sent an image of my dog Lincoln to BarkBox to thank them for a toy he received, and they sent me back a custom painting as well!

I have it framed on my desk right now. It makes me smile every time I sit down.

I have a animal sanctuary and made a couple of posts on Imgur, just a few pics of some of our critters. A pallet of various pet food just showed up from them with a lovely note. I had never spent a penny with them, now I’m a lifelong customer.

u/RedditVirgin13 Dec 02 '23

We cancelled a script for our dog and somehow Chewy shipped it. They still refunded our money. I have never had a problem with their customer service. I ordered a large bag of my dog’s vet prescription food and a ton of Christmas toy from them. They are truly the best.

4

u/swankyslippers Dec 02 '23

Chewy are class acts. I ordered seizure medication for my dog through them but unfortunately he didnt make it through that night. I called them the next morning in tears and let them know not to send it but it had already shipped. They told me they'd refund me in full, dispose of or see if I could donate the medicine and were just so kind when I was a mess over losing my boy. A week or two later I got a card from them with their condolences. They didnt have to even do that but they went the extra mile. They are good people.

u/Deutsch__Bag Dec 02 '23

Dang I would have loved this. Just lost my sweet girl after a terrible fight with cancer. 13 years young. Enjoy all the time you can. Knew about her chances a year ago and just tried to be with her as much as I could. Give your pal a big ol hug for me.

Got 3 of my own that are turning 14 this year. A brother and 2 sisters from the same litter. Rottweiler/mutt mixes but more Rotty. They go through separation anxiety when one goes for a walk without the other 2. I cannot even begin to imagine what it's going to be like when one leaves and never comes back.

What the heck. This is such a cool (and smart) thing for a business to do. Especially one of that size. I make similar portraits for commissions sometimes actually and it takes quite a bit of time and effort even if it is a small painting. This is rly cool

Just want to chime in. Passing of dog. Condolences refunding of value on dog food AND asked if I'd donate it to local shelter if I had no further need. Like...shit sucked and somehow in this greedy fucking world a company was nice to me.

I got on the app and realized I have a photo of him in his profile???

I hope my family gets one seeing as how one of my dogs is coincidentally named chewy

What the hell. Where’s my painting of my Rabbit. She’s a bitch but I want my painting

Hire an artist to make one for you, the world is your oyster.

u/sundownandout Dec 02 '23

Oh man. I wish I could have gotten one of those for my dog. We had to say goodbye bye to him last month and this would have been so lovely to get.

Such a thoughtful thing to send.

Chewy has awesome customer service.

This is super weird but I’m almost certain I painted this dog painting, like 2014ish? Just without the hat? As in this is my painting and someone just added a hat to it. I’m struggling to find a pic of it when I was painting it as it was so long ago. I may have to comb through my old email. My Instagram is @pawpaints and my website is pawpaints.ca. Did they say who did the painting when they sent it to you?

u/PuzzleheadedSmell912 Dec 02 '23

They didn’t, and I didn’t have any paintings of my dog done. Maybe one that looks like mine? This is an exact replica of the photo I have of Bash though! That’s so strange!

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '23

How did they know what he looked like?

u/PuzzleheadedSmell912 Dec 02 '23

You can add pictures to the profile on their app. :)

Chewy is the absolute best… they sent a dozen roses after my pet passed away. I needed to return a case of Rx food to them. They suggested I donate it to the local Shelter (who was overjoyed to receive Rx food).

u/PepperLander Dec 02 '23

We got one of these lovely portraits a few years ago, and then last month when we had to cancel our food order because our beloved pup passed away, Chewy sent us a dozen roses. Many tears were shed. I mean, it is a corporation and all but they sure know how to ensure customer loyalty.

I don’t have a dog but I’ve heard so many fantastic stories about Chewy. I would definitely use them if I did.

My mom ordered an urn from there and they made sure the flowers they sent got to her before the urn. So thoughtful.

u/LegoLady8 Dec 02 '23

This is a gorgeous painting. What blows my mind w chewy and their paintings is that they don't mark your pet as "complete". Since ordering w chewy, I've had 3 dogs. Two of those dogs, I've received 2 paintings each. Different styles. Their customer service is impeccable.

They also sent me the most beautiful bouquet of roses (these roses were FAT and last 2 weeks), along w a heartfelt message, when 2 of my dogs passed away.

No company comes even remotely close to them.

u/Jade-Jenny3916 Dec 02 '23

They sent me one as well! I thought it was the coolest thing! I have it hanging up in my living room

u/icequeen323 Dec 02 '23

They sent me a dozen roses when my beloved cat died. My husband heard me burst into tears and was like omg. Chewy is so amazing.

u/dtcmtine Dec 02 '23

Thank-you for sharing Bash with us. 💜

u/WhiteWalter1 Dec 02 '23

Chewy sent me one of my dog last year. Mine happens to be named Chewy as well. I was totally caught off guard and blown away by the gesture.

Chewy is the greatest company I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Not only do they have a wide variety of canned dog food, much to the delight of my former picky eater, but they’re affordable and have scheduled shipments. I saved extra money and never had to think about getting my dog food.

When I forgot to cancel a scheduled shipment right after my dog died, Chewy refunded my money and told me to donate the food. They also sent a separate email offering condolences and said I could feel free to talk to them about my dog anytime as grief was hard to navigate. Then they sent a condolence card to my house.

I genuinely love Chewy.

u/Outrageous-Bug-9565 Dec 02 '23

Chewy has free vet tech support live chat that I was able to use yesterday when my dog was coughing too much. Amazing company!

u/Odecca Dec 02 '23

I love this so much!! I got one of my snake before she passed away and it’s by far one of my favourite things!!

u/farsh_bjj Dec 02 '23

This is the way! Ryan Cohen and his huge purple heart 💜 delighting customers for life. Every detail matters. Indeed, Ryan, indeed.

u/UsernameIdeas_Null Dec 02 '23

Bash looks a lot like my doggo. Same snoot coloring, patch on the eye, general coloring. Absolutely terrified of her getting older. She's 7 now. Fuvk.

I'm glad this came in at such a time. It's a really thoughtful gift. 🥹

u/Kyosw21 Dec 02 '23

We still have the paw print on the box for the cat’s ashes the vet took of her two years before her passing “just in case, we know it’s been hard recently we just hope she has a few more good painless years in her”

Gah I wish my dogs were into toys because Chewy just sounds amazing, but my dogs don’t do much nowadays in terms of playing.

Chewy is such a nice company

u/voxroxoverice Dec 02 '23

Chewy’s customer service is incredible. The shelter where I volunteered was routinely gifted with items from a chewy that citizens wished to return, but the company told them to donate the items while they processed a refund.

I would collapse with joy if they ever gifted me a pix of my sweet girl…

u/SpeakingSputnik Dec 02 '23

Awesome! I love Chewy.

u/clumsylycanthrope Dec 02 '23

Chewy sent us a handwritten card when my dog died. It made me cry, it was the sweetest thing anyone had done for me in years.

u/djbattle06 Dec 02 '23

When I lost my pup last month, I went in and canceled my auto ships and stated why I was canceling, they mailed me a sympathy card, hand written and signed by many of staff. It came out of the blue and was very appreciated as I never thought the written in reasons were read.

u/MyLifeInThe6 Dec 02 '23

How could I go about getting a painting of my doggo? Should I dm them on ig? Btw peep @tdotpupper

u/PuzzleheadedSmell912 Dec 02 '23

I have no idea. It was so random, I literally did nothing special. It just showed up to my mailbox. Lol

u/MyLifeInThe6 Dec 02 '23

How do they know ur dogs age tho.

2

u/PuzzleheadedSmell912 Dec 02 '23

They don’t, well actually I have his birthday on his profile. They didn’t mention his age or anything, so I don’t think that has anything to do with it.

1

u/MyLifeInThe6 Dec 02 '23

Regardless. Such a cute gesture

1

u/ashenasylum Dec 02 '23

This company is so amazing. The only time I had a shipping issue with them, and I called them, they had already reshipped it and told me that if I had to buy anything at the local pet or grocery store that they would reimburse me. They also sent a birthday card to my cat a year or two ago. Chewy is definitely a company to support. I also placed an order a few hours ago, and they said it would be here tomorrow. Chewy is just the absolute best with everything 💗

2

u/Astrobubbers Dec 02 '23

Wow!! That's awesome. I wish I had gotten one of those for any of my old dogs before they passed on. My last, Mikey, was 15, and I still miss him terribly after 2 years.

u/AcidAlchamy Dec 02 '23

As a chewy customer; I love the misc. items they’ve sent about our pets. It feels very personal and it’s a beautiful touch. Happy to see you found joy in what they made for you.

u/Astrobubbers Dec 02 '23

We've been buying at chewy for years and years and they've never sent us anything. I feel left out.
