"A Light exists in Spring Not present on the Year At any other period — When March is scarcely here..." Get ready for spring with Emily Dickinson themarginalian.org/2019/04/18/emi…

"It turns out that pets also have their own "last wishes" before they pass away, something only veterinarians who euthanize old or sick animals are aware of. A Twitter user, Jesse Dietrich, once asked a vet what the most challenging part of their job was. The vet responded without hesitation, explaining that the hardest part is witnessing how old or sick animals search for their owners before they fall asleep forever. Shockingly, 90% of owners choose not to stay in the room during their pet's final moments. They leave, unable to bear watching their beloved companion go. However, what they don’t realize is that these final moments are when their pet needs them the most. Vets are urging pet owners to stay by their animals' sides until the very end. "It’s inevitable that they will pass before you. Remember, you were the center of their world. They may have been just a part of your life, but to them, you were everything—their family. Even though it’s heartbreaking, don’t abandon them in their final moments. Don’t let them die alone in an unfamiliar room with a stranger. It’s incredibly painful for vets to see pets frantically searching for their owners in their last minutes of life. They don’t understand why they’ve been left behind, and all they need is the comfort of their beloved human. While veterinarians do everything they can to ease the fear and anxiety of these animals, they are still strangers to them. Don’t let your own pain make you walk away. Be brave for them. Endure that heartache, and stay by their side until the very end. They deserve your love and presence in their final moments. "💞🙏
