There is an thread in Cat General "What is the age of your oldest cat?" I was wondering who might be the oldest PT dog. Did we already do this? If so, I can't remember. Anyway, I am thinking it might be Amy's (WolfQ) Smokey. I believe he is 17. Anyone else got a *senior citizen* pupster?
My cocker spaniel, Lacie, will be fourteen on January 3, 2004.

Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive
And strive for your desire"

Originally posted by wolf_Q Yep Smokey is 17...he'll be 18 in February. Reggie's a senior citizen too, at 10 years old (11 in March).
Amy, I had a toy poodle who lived to 17. He may have made it to 18 but I assisted him to the Rainbow Bridge. He had so many ailments that old dogs develop (dense cataracts, had gone deaf, lost most of his teeth and lost bladder control). I often wonder if he would have made it to 18. Here's hoping Smokey will.
