Love is taking proper care of an animal. FEEDING IT, GIVING IT SHELTER, and PROPER MEDICAL CARE till the last beat of its heart. Love is taking the time to care for it properly, play, spend time with it till the last beat of its heart. She is suffering if there is a long-term problem, I don't get why that's so hard for you to understand. The fact that you just said "that's stupid" says it all to me.
