一位朋友曾经告诉我,因为狗的寿命很少有长过主人的,因此当你把宠物愉快地带回家时,你同时也种下了一颗回忆生命的美好种子。我一直对此不以为然。当年我们把可爱的达克斯猎犬——卡尔带回家的时候,它才六周大。卡尔现在已经12岁半,因为生病它变得非常虚弱,已经没有力气到门口迎接我。对于它的离开,我已经做好了思想准备。 A friend once told me that because the life span of a dog is seldom longer than that of a host, when you bring your pet happily back home, you also plant a wonderful seed that recalls life. I have always disagreed with this. It was six weeks old when we brought home the lovely Dachshund Carl. Karl is now 12 years and a half because of illness it has become very weak and has no strength to meet me at the door. For its departure, I have been well prepared.
