I have a dog that loves to sleep next to me. He will move for me but not for my husband. If I try to get into bed and I move him, he just scoots right over. If my husband tries that, the dog will angrily get out of bed and skulk off.
I often watch my dog and wonder what it would be like to be a dog. Would it be boring? Would it be the most awesome thing ever? Sure I would be by myself quite a lot, but someone would be there to feed me, to scratch my belly, to throw the ball, and to pick up my poop. I think I could get used to something like that.
I work part time at a residential hospice here in this town. I have gotten used to people dying and it really doesn't bother me anymore. It makes me appreciate life more and realized the beauty of the life that people live and also the beauty of death. I am not trying to be morbid but I honestly don't think that death is the end. Death is a release from pain and we continue on in another state without the pain that we had here on this earth.
I love my doggie so much and just animals in general. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have something like an animal hospice where animals can live and do their favorite things until they pass away gently. Pain management would be a big part. I wonder if something like that exists or if it even feasible to do something like this for animals.
