Many years ago, I think it was 2011, I was walking my dog in the countryside, and we met a terrier puppy. He was was full of juvenile energy, jumped around, ran up to me then ran away again, just a happy puppy, as you'd expect.
Today, I was taking a walk in the same area, but this time with a different dog, as my old one died 5 years ago. I met the terrier again, for the first time since way back, his fur now tinted with grey, his snout ash white, and he was walking very slowly, looked at me and my dog but kept his distance. When I saw that dog, how he had, in my perception, aged 14 years in the blink of an eye, what his body and demeanor had become, I suddenly started crying; for the first time since I was 5, I cried somewhere that wasn't my room. Luckily, there was no one around to see or hear me, but still, that's not normal behavior for me.
The sight of him just made me incredibly sad and aware of how time consumes everything, even cute dogs.
