Thought I’d get the ball rolling by starting a thread on immortal pets. A sort of perfect topic that keeps things playful, yet practical. I’ve been imagining immortality for my dog, Napoleon. He’s pretty “old” at this point already but still doing quite well. The nice thing about this “experiment” is that he’s already lived an amazing and full life, so if I *fail* I can’t say I have any regrets - his long and joyful life are already a triumph in many ways. Also, the fact that he’s a dog (as opposed to let’s say a human child) helps me make some bold and radical choices I might be too chicken to make otherwise.
That said, I am at a point where I would love some fresh encouragement and inspiration. What I’m finding in the persistence of immortality is the call to radically change and reimagine my relationship to Napoleon on a fairly consistent basis. My quest for immortality isn’t about how long can he live no matter what, but how long can we live joyfully together where we mutually enjoy and enrich each other’s lives and the lives of those around us. How do I keep his health stable and even awe-inspiring? And more so, how do I keep this FUN?
