  | | SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 |  | | Memorial | Today, and the second Sunday of every September, is National Pet Memorial Day, and a good time to recall the words of George Carlin, who described every pet as "a small tragedy" just waiting to happen.
It almost seems like a cruel trick that most animals we keep as domestic pets have short lifespans compared to ours: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, rats, ferrets, fish.
Loss is a part of life, but it’s always hard when it comes time to say good-bye to a dog that has been part of the family for years. It’s a tricky balancing act to choose between quality and quantity of life, quite frequently ending in that most difficult decision of all — to let go and ask the vet to give those two shots that will bring relief to a dog's suffering.
I like to think, though, that dogs don't stay with us long because they have so much to give us and to teach us while they're here... |  | | | | © Copyright 2015 Cesar's Way, Inc. All rights reserved.  | |
