re: death

My mom used pets to teach me about life. Starting in kindergarten, I can't recall a time when I didn't have pets. First there were goldfish, for which I was responsible to feed and keep the tank clean. I bawled my eyes out when I found the first one floating one morning. Then came a hampster, followed by a couple of very smart pet rats, and a dog. The dog lived for 13 years before she had to be put down (I was in HS). Along the way I learned that death is part of life. Imagine that.
