Three different friends sent me this:

My Life as a Dog

I ... learned that cancer time and dog time aren’t so different. We know that our dogs’ lives are compressed into 10 to 15 years, that their brilliant flames burn even more quickly than our own. Time is compressed, too, when you have cancer, and even after. You can’t take 10 years from now for granted, or next year for that matter.

Thanks to Florence, Peggy, and Kay.
