Breathing is really important.
I’ve known that for a while. Ever since I started fainting when I couldn’t get enough air fast enough. It doesn’t really bother me though. I just pick myself up again and keep on breathing.
Jane panics whenever that happens to me. She falls down next to me and starts crying. Even when I wag my tail to let her know I’m okay. In fact, that just seems to make her cry more.
Jane says it has to do with oxygen.
I don’t know how the oxygen thing works or how it gets into my blood or my cells or anything. Or even what it does once it gets there exactly. I don’t know what makes my heart beat either. And I don’t worry about it.
But I do like being alive very very much. And so I want to keep breathing as long as I can.
Jane says she does, too.
