Wow, Paradise, you have opened a "whole bag of pet food" w/ this topic, at least for me. We have a tabby kitty & a black lad. Both are beautiful & loving & ours, Not the kids...know what I mean?
**Our tabby is 11 & lab 8- & you are right, unless we die unexpectedly they will die before we do. However, knowing from personal experience it still could be years b/c of the life that they have...no stress...& very loved. I believe that's the key for our pets longevity.
**I can tell stories about these 2-until "the cows come home," but there are really boring to others...except ppl who really know us & the pets.
**Speaking of knowing things, these 2-know our habits & voice tones & even the way we walk to understand what we are about to do. And I think we're pretty in tune w/ them as well...Hahaha!!
**What's funny is that Goldie our tabby is the boss of the house. She made that clear to Lucy our Lab right up front. And she's a little tabby, not weighing over 9pounds her entire 11-years. Lucy on the other hand is a solid 100 pounds.
**Let the Grands & GreatGson be here for a visit & oh my Lucy is in heaven. She is taller than the GGson & is so very funny & gentle with him. He shares his snacks w/Lucy & then Lucy cleans his sticky face. What love. The GGson just laughs & laughs. Of course we are are right there while this is going on but they think they are doing something special.
**Well I'd better stop as I have gone on & on.....TexasGma
