    21 year old dog

    You may remember my story last week about the 21 year old dog. I was able to get a picture...so, here it is. His name is Rambo and he is a Terrier/Poodle mix.

    I can't get the picture to open right now, but wow!! 21!!

    My best friend's grandparents dog is a lab/Border collie mix. We can't remember exactly when they got her, but I think it was the winter before she and I met...which would make Pepper 19 this year? Amazing when dogs live such long happy lives.

    O_O That dog looks REALLY good for 21... I believe the longest living dog ever was an Australian Cattle Dog named Blue...lived till he was 29 and he had to be put down...

    I used to groom a couple poodles, one was 20 and one was 21. They were born in the late 1970's! They didn't look that good, though ... in fact, they looked pretty bad.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Wow what an old dog! He must be pretty special to live such a long life. He probably makes lots of people happy and is happy. He still looks so cute too.

    Found some articles on that BC... Said he's on a Vegan diet but is 27

    About the Cattle Dog I mentioned earlier:

    "The oldest reliable age recorded for a dog is 29 years, 5 months for a
    Queensland 'heeler' called Bluey in Victoria, Australia."
    "A Cattle Dog called Bluey is credited as being the longest living dog ever. He lived to 29 years of age and worked sheep for 20 of those years."
    "The longest lived dog on record, was "Bluey", a Queensland Heeler-
    who died in 1939 aged 29 years and 5 months."

    lol
