Pales

The wonderful new puppy you bring home all too quickly becomes an elderly, arthritic animal that needs a lot of care, costing a lot of money in vet bills, though that pales compared with the heartache.

In thise sentence the last part is hard to understand. What meaning does 'pales' here have?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks CSnyder! I mistook 'pales' for a noun. It is a verb.
