That Went Better Than Expected
Many of us had parents who dealt with death in a roundabout way to soften the blow of sadness, so it wasn’t uncommon to hear that one of our beloved pets had gone to live on “the farm,” where they had unlimited space to run around and play for eternity with all the other pets we lost to time.
u/scurvy_knave wasn’t wrong to assume their dad was saying their raccoon had gone to heaven. I think we are as happy as they were to learn that the scrappy little trash panda really did go to a farm where it was happily spoiled rotten until it crossed the rainbow bridge.
