Sick Pets

The Wrapped-Up Pup

Dogs Aren’t Supposed to Get Sick.  That’s just in the rules, and you’ve all read the rules, right?  So, what’s the deal?  Why is she sick?  Who made this happen?  There is Hell to be paid and you’re going to pay it to me.

You get better soon, pup.  We’re watching out for you!

This reminds me of a quote, the author of which I’ve been looking for for a really long time, several years in fact, since we got us this pup here to the left.  The quote, and this may not be exact because I can’t remember where it is that I read or heard about it and haven’t seen since is this “The surest evidence that God does not exist is the lifespan of a dog.”

Now, I’m not saying our pup is dying, she certainly is not and had better not be.  However, thinking about how I feel knowing that she’s sick reminded me that the time spent with our beloved canines is much too short even if we end up sharing our lives for a long time in … “dog years.”
