Well, Nancy, I'm 88, and have to curb my wish to say, it's up to those who come after me. One of the things that keeps me going is having, foolhardily, taken on Basil as a puppy, knowing he will outlive me. (I have 2 daughters who will vie with each other for Basil when I die). Even when he destroys gardens and pulls down curtains, we smother him with love. He is my tie to eternity, whatever that may turn out to be. Your terrier also sounds sublime.
I am feeling the same as you are. The cruelty weighs on us. I’m 77 and trying to find energy to keep on sending postcards to Senators. By the way your little Basil sounds lovely. We have an English Border Terrier. She is a mess and we love her to pieces.

Yes, you will persist … you have a lot of life left in you 👏👏👏
I hope so.
