When we choose to share our homes and our lives with an animal, (the furry, feathered or scaled variety, not the party type) we open ourselves to caring for an individual who depends on us. We must think about someone other than ourselves, learning to become less selfish. We also gain possible affection and make memories. Even as our pets age and their needs change, we must adjust and quite frankly, cope with greater inconveniences. But caring for these creatures as they age deepens our own understanding and compassion of our own future needs.
