Quote

Grapes are juicy. Strawberries. Oranges. Good pork chops are succulent, said Dusty. But the word isn't accurately descriptive of a person. Smiling with delight, Ahriman said, Oh, really, not accurately descriptive? Be careful housepainter. Your genes are showing. What if I were a cannibal?

When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come.
