Have you ever faced the end of a pet’s life?

If you’ve ever had a pet, chances are you have, and the more physical interaction you had with that pet, the more it hurt to watch their life slip away. And the anguish of making the loving decision to put an end to their suffering is pain some people never want to repeat.

Pets are wonderful additions to our lives. They give us so many opportunities for fun and learning and growth, yet their lives are so much shorter than ours that we walk through those endings so many times. The longer you live, the more pets you share your life with, the more often you come to the end of another love story.

Yet most of us choose to do it again. Why?

Because pets give us focus and purpose in our lives. Pets give our lives structure. Pets give us learning opportunities. Pets give us love, and they give us the opportunity to love, and it’s in the giving of love that we humans are at our very best.

Even when it hurts so much to lose them, we still choose pets because by doing so, we’re choosing to love. That says something wonderful about the people who love pets.
