Move On

They don't think about their past, recent or long behind them.
Thoughts about their future are totally alien.
They strictly live from moment to moment.
They live in the now, unlike people who don't.
Animals have a tendency to move on very quickly
from situations that would cause people many years of therapy.

Yes, the power to reason and think of what might have been is a double-edged sword that all humans have to carry. Pets do grieve their owner's death, but they can move on much more quickly than we can. Words to ponder.
