The bad part about a dog is that it will only be around for 8-15 years.

  To love is to accept suffering.

    Huh, is this a quote from somewhere?

      Not that I'm aware of, it's just how it is. Everything is ephemeral, so we allow ourselves to love in the knowledge that it is not forever, and that when it ends, no matter how it ends, it will be painful. To love something is to extend your concept of self to encompass it, and when it is gone it will be as though a piece of yourself has been torn from you. We accept this inevitability regardless, because to love is better than the alternative.

  That's also the good part, sometimes.
