The Beauty of Life

I just spent the past four hours or so helping my uncle's pit bull give birth. I have to say, it was one of the grossest experiences of my life. There was blood, liquids i can't even begin to describe, and much worry. However, the aftermath of all of that horror was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Do I think Mother Nature should clean up those entrances a bit? Of course; that mess was, and still is, nasty. However, the end result (nine beautiful puppies) is enough to make my heart sing. Life truly is an amazing thing. In nine months or so, a human can make a baby. In sixty-two days, ten puppies are developed, though one didn't survive. It truly is a wonderful thing.
