Pets, love them while you can.

My Dauchsaund that I grew up with died a few years back. It was hard on me, I'll admit that. He was getting pretty old and had major back/leg problems. Near the end he couldnt even get up the 1 step that leads from the family room to the kitchen. And it took everything out of him just to walk 1 block down the street. It was horrible to see him like that. One day we noticed he didnt bark when sombody came in the door. Sure enough, he was dead under the couch, right there in his favorite hiding spot.
