Goops - Just remember, a super healthy person could adopt a puppy and then get hit by a bus. When I was younger, it never occurred to me to make arrangments for my dog in case something happened to me. I'm older and wiser. I don't have a pet now, but with my last old buddy I got a commitment from my brothers to care for him if something happened to me. And that was several years before I was diagnosed!!

As for the article, it's very interesting and sobering. Another reminder that life is precious and we need to enjoy every minute. Maybe I'll adopt a dog!
