I don't think that she's saying that, I think that she's saying that her dogs and other animals that have been with the family for a longer amount of time mean more to her family than something that she had just got. It doesn't mean the life isn't that important.

Why are we talking about this? Even I'm caught up in it. Please, let's just talk about bernese mountian dogs. Jynnelle's dad wants to know more about them and see if any have personal experience. Also, another option he is considering is the Swiss Mounitan dog because they live longer, and he'd like a dog that has a longer life span than 6-10 years or whatnot. Any other dogs that act alot like those breeds, please mention. He really loves the swiss breeds.
