Time passed，and against my will，I started to（24）D some．things．I realized what little control any of us have over what happens to a dog．We can do everything right，but （25）B things can still happen．But good thin can happen too．That's（26）C．The best way to deal with the hard times is t0（27）D，what you need to do to get through them when they come，and to remember that hard times always（28）A．
I now deeply understand the"circle oflife"．Everyone is born，everyone （29）D，and that's the way it is．If dogs never died，there would be no （30）B for others like Belle-my new dog．Best of all，I realized that Tippy left behind all of my good memories of him．And they come to me every time I call!
