Thank you. It was pretty devastating for my girlfriend, and me too. We got to stay with her though and she licked us right before she passed. We have her in a little urn, with an ornament with her paw print in it.
I actually met someone at the pet store who said her cat was 30. There's one in the Guinness book. I believe she was 32.
Oldest Age For A Cat That Is Accurate......Was In Austin Texas At 39.......The Oldest Dog Was 29......I Really Thought It Would Be The Other Way Round. My Oldest Cat Was 25 Followed By 22/5 months......Current Oldest Is 18 1/2...... Cheers Glen.
Sorry to bring the thread down guys! They have average ages for animals but it really doesn't mean anything. They can defy death sometimes lol it's so funny because she almost died as a kitten from what she tells me. She bottle fed her and she never really went to the vet again after adulthood and she just thrived until the end. Pretty resilient little creature she was lol
Ah, Atreyú. My boy. you have grown up so much now, I remember the night I bought you home, you were lost in our big yard, the world too big to explore. The first morning we woke up together you yawned loudly, it was so sweet. From your individuality and personality we knew we got the runt, but we wouldn't have you any other way. You are energetic and playful, heading into 5yrs now you are still just a big puppy, dragging that same rope around now as you were 4 years ago. We are your life and you are out protector. You will not let harm come to us, you will give your life for us. you are outside at the moment, I miss you. I might bring you inside.
Reads Irm's Post......Bursts Into Tears............................................................................... Cheers Glen.
N'aww, I got sad writing that too. all I know is when the day comes and he's gone, we'll have another dog but it won't ever be like him. His original name wasn't going to be Atreyú. But, in all honesty it fits him perfectly.
Oh..... the puppy years Irms ... That puppy smell. "I love the smell of puppies in the morning. The smell, you know that puppy smell, the whole house. Smelled like........PUPPIES!" Someday this Dragon gonna buy another one...
This is my little girl Scully. We had to put her down today due to kidney failure. She was 16 (2002 - 2018). We had a vet come over to the house and she passed calmly and peacefully. She was a very sweet dog and I will miss her very much. Her brother Mulder (yes had an X File theme) passed away 3 years ago at 17 years old. I know they are playing together again in doggie heaven. I just wanted to give her the memoriam I think she deserves.
