Every day is one that is gone forever.
Make sure you do something for someone else, especially those who cannot do for themselves. You hear a lot of gossip and rumors about some pet stores and some pay heed to them but others refuse to believe unless they've actually experienced a problem from that particular store. I went to work for Petland in Beaumont, Texas about 9 years ago because I loved animals and wanted the chance to work with them. They displayed a plaque from the Better Business Bureau and everything looked so nice that I was very happy and excited when I was hired but during the course of working there about two years I learned what went on behind closed doors. I've left out gossip and second hand information in this so everything in here are things that I saw with my own eyes.
