I think a big problem is a lot people don't realize that pets can live that long. They don't consider it a possible 15+ year commitment. Heck, most don't even cosider a pet an 8 year commitment. Around here most people I know are amazed that Ripley and Disney are 12+ years old. Some have even made the comment that I must pamper them to get them to live that long.
I'm amazed at all the ignorance!
