Life Is Death and Death Is Life
Scout was torn.
His body was suffering, he could barely breathe.
He was incontinent.
But he did not want to leave Lisa.
She was sobbing. She did not want him to go.
But the rainbow bridge had opened.
Excited happy dogs and cats were encouraging him.
You will get a new body.
You can be a puppy again!
You can stop suffering.
He stayed with Lisa as long as he could.
Then he had to choose life.
Life is death and death is life.
Who knew?
He used to know, but he had forgotten.
