----

Found out that the puppy I convinced my parents to adopt in 5th grade is very ill.
He is 14 now.

It breaks my heart to think
of how we bring
these dear creatures
(supremely loved)
into our lives
all the while knowing
that it is quite likely
that they will be gone
before us
and that after a time
with them
we will
(need to learn to)
say goodbye.

    so sorry! I think about this all the time since we adopted our pup when she was 11. Now she's 12 and it breaks my heart every time I think that my time with her will be shorter than I wish. I knew that when we got her, and I don't know what I'll do when that day comes. I just hope to give her the best we can.

    i'm very sorry to hear that...and although i've really wanted a cat or a dog, it too is always on the back of my mind that one day, during my life time, they'll be gone.
