    i’ve learned to dread seeing this on my fur babies; but i suppose it’s part of the deal of having these wonderful creatures in your life.

      Sweetest love, I do not go,

      For weariness of thee,

      Nor in hope the world can show

      A fitter love for me;

      Must die at last, 'tis best

      To use myself in jest

      Thus by feign’d deaths to die.

      (John Donne, Sweetest Love, I Do Not Go)
