41. No matter how long they are with us, it is never long enough.

The special ones, they take a piece of our hearts with them when they go. But, they leave a little piece of their hearts with us as well.

And, from the FWIW dept, I believe to the absolute core of my being, that if there is such a thing as an afterlife, then our furkids will be there as well. There is no way that beings who give and accept us to unconditionally and who give and accept unconditional love they way they do could not be.
