nothing like the cold hard b*tch slap of reality

to bring you back down to earth and remind you of what is really important in life... i guess that would be "life".

after months of treatment the vet said today that there is nothing else they can do for my best friend. they give him four weeks at most, but say two weeks is more likely.

i am trying to take full advantage of the time we have left and let him live it to the fullest. why do most of us wait until we are reminded of mortality to do this, why not just do it everyday? easier said than done, i know. but i also know that without death life would have no meaning.
