my little dog is now 12 and she used to hear me whisper from far but now her hearing isn't as good as it used to be. her strength is still there but still makes me sad thinking about how she has a few years left in her :(

Hmmm, i met a customer once who said his one dog died at 24 and when i was there he said the other was 21, i asked him how they lived so long and he told me they were only fed fresh food nothing canned. Maybe he was bs'ing on the age though who knows.

wow lucky dog

Brickface 05-07-2009 09:19 AM

pretty cool, my chihuahua is 15 years old right now and I thought that was old.

Shun Izaki 05-07-2009 09:32 AM

wow, and not really being a dog owner, i had no idea dogs only lived that short of a time.

talk about fingers far from the pulse of life.

It's great to see dog owners taking up the responsibility and take great care of their pets. The longevity of this dog "Chanel" is what the owner got in return.

She's got a tumor that's bleeding and filling her belly with blood growing on her spleen.. :(
It's already too late by the time we found out..

Big dogs don't live very long. Like St. Bernards, Great Danes live up to about 7-12 years but those are freak'n huge ass dogs! :P It really depends on how u treat them (stress is the biggest factor). My friends Golden Retriever passed away at 19 which is very very rare (avg. 12-15) My dog is 14 and runs around like a 3 year old but his hearing is going though... :(

And as for the age formula, 7 years is not correct. its 10.5 years for the first cpl years then 4 years for then on.

shenmecar 05-07-2009 06:49 PM

screw you guys, my dog ran away.

!Aznboi128 05-07-2009 10:54 PM

wow that's old.....

BabyJane 05-07-2009 10:59 PM

"Owner Denice Shaugnessey said Chanel would celebrate with some cake and then a nap."
HHAHA
cake & napping..
that's why she lived up to 21.

oh? I heard it was the opposite. tiny dogs don't have a long life expentancy, and large dogs live longer. I guess I have my facts all mixed up.
