Sacrifice.

Last night it was decided to go, the next morning, to the market and buy fresh meat.

The night turned out to be very noisy, the wind was constantly buzzing, somewhere, sheets of roofing iron rumbled, the blizzard did not subside for a minute, it interfered with sleep and it seemed that I fell asleep only in the morning.

But going to the market was something that could not be canceled, and when I went out onto the balcony in the morning and saw that hurricane gusts of wind were carrying a stream of snowflakes, I remembered the saying that in such weather a good owner would not let me out your dog.

With such thoughts, I got dressed and took the first steps towards the blizzard.

As I walked down the snowy alley I saw an elderly woman walking her dog.

Apparently, it was very cold for both of them, but they did something that was impossible to do without, since their fates were united.

From time to time, they talked about something, the dog probably wanted to return home, and the grandmother wanted the dog to do all its important things on the street.

At that moment, I thought about the sacrifice that you need to have in order to put aside all your affairs every morning and every evening and devote this time to a four-legged friend.

Yes, I want to get a dog, my children and wife dream about it, but am I ready for such a sacrifice?

For now, I'm not sure.

But maybe one day, I will not see a deserted alley in front of me, but my English bulldog, lol.
