But why，they pleaded.“Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.“Really？You’re going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe the dog？”Yes，yes，and yes.“I don’t believe you.”We will.We promise. They didn’t.From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day)，neither thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small，medium，and large)，she calculated，“The__medium__one__is__the__sucker__in__the__pack.” Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵融合)．She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，beam her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand—which，strangely，I almost always did.In no time，she became my fifth appendage (附肢)，snoring on my home－office couch as I worked，cradling against my feet as I read，and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.

Then one day—January 1，2007，to be exact—my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia (白血病)．With that，I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital，doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort.During those six months of hospitalizations，Becky，12 at the time，adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school.My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies.Every part of my life changed；no part of my old routine remained.
