On the 5th day God created animals....

In the last hour two good friends have posted statuses about their pets on Facebook....

The first made my heart ache.  A friend is putting her dog of 13 years to sleep this afternoon.  She and her family have loved this dog like another member of the family.

The other post warmed my heart.  It said:

"I wish I could put my bird on a leash and fly him next to me as I ride my bike.  I love him. :)"

Pets leave a mark on our hearts like no other....

It's been almost 10 months and I still check for Maddy when I come in the door, wake up in the morning, go to bed, when I come in the kitchen and see her spot on the back door rug.

In the next life I know it'll be a fight between Ally and I on who gets to keep Maddy... guess we'll have to be big girls and share.

Today...

Sunset over Sierra Nevada Mountain Range... FOR Sierra <3 How fragile life is, how certain death ... Every thoughtful person has asked himself the question best phrased by Job of old: "If a man die, shall he live again?" Try as we might to put the question out of our thoughts, it always returns. Death comes to all mankind. It comes to the aged as they walk on faltering feet. Its summons is heard by those who have scarcely reached midway in life's journey. At times it hushes the laughter of little children. ... We do not know when we will be required to leave this mortal existence. And so I ask, "What are we doing with today?" ~Thomas S. Monson~
