Time to set my priorities straight..

So this month has been crazy for me. Work, school and life. My sister says that these things are just bumps in my road but I wish I could see it that way right now. Maybe in the future insha'allah. I am swamped with school and to add to all that is going on, something happened yesterday. I took my dog to the vet because he was limping and since he's a German Shepherd I was worried it might be hip displaysia. Well even though I was going in with this possibilty in my head, I wasn't ready for that possibility to become reality. My dog has minor HD but sever Bon deterioration in his lower back which is even a bigger problem. I'm not sure how to deal with this fully but for now I am taking it one day at a time, one vet visit at a time. I am not really concerned about the vets idea of how long my German Shepherd will live because that of course is only known by Allah but I pray that he won't be in pain and will live a healthy life. Some people think that this is feeling too much for a pet but is there any limit on how much you can love your friend,family, or strangers? Then why should there be a "limit" for pets? I see it as an ammana that Allah has given me and I must do the best I can to take care of it. I am feeling guilty for all the times I didn't walk him but alhamdulillah, insha'allah he'll be just fine.
