Yeah pretty much. What you do in the meantime is up to you.
Pets are particularly weird because we get them knowing damn well we will outlive them. I view it as giving the little babies as close to a perfect life, and as comfortable a passing as pawssible.
If we could set the lifespan of our pets, how would we? On one hand, giving them as much time as possible seems like a no-brainer. On the other, it's a lot more weighty to get a pet that you have to keep forever and maybe pass on to children.
