Kas Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Post a picture of your beloved dog, it will be a pleasure for us all to see. Unfortunately, I am unable to contribute at present, though I have had the privilege and honor of owning several dogs in the past to make my life really worthwhile. See my Profile regarding one of them. My last most loving and faithful dog was Kaiser, a Rottie. He died at the age of 10 years old on 10 January 2014 of internal bleeding. But 10 years of age is not a bad average for a Rottie. I would have like more. He meant the world to me.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2014 Mine pasted away going on 4 years ago from kidney failure, but I won't be getting another one simply because they don't live long enough and then they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted June 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2014 Nice spider. I'd never consider one as a pet but I do like watching the variety that don't make webs hunt live prey. If they're outside I leave them be, if they're inside the house I introduce them to my foot or a flyswatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You afraid of them ? I live in Australia and our spiders tend to grow rather large. I've had pet birds killed and eaten by spiders. I don't fear them, so much as respect their frightening disregard for life. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kas Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 The relationship of man with dogs goes back Centuries, at least to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Dog remains have been found from 10,000 - 15,000 years ago. It has been scientifically acknowledged that mans relationship with the dog and its human connected development originates from the Grey wolf many thousands of years ago. This man/dog relationship is unique and has no other equivalent in the animal kingdom. The modern domesticated dog has become a totally faithful and committed companion of man. We should be proud that an animal displays such a firm bond with us. A dogs life span varies according to breed, but on average 10-12 years is about the limit for most breeds. Large dogs have a shorter life span. Out of the 5 dogs I have had the privilege and joy of owning, only one died early at 6 years old. The others lived for 10-15 years. Nothing wrong with a dogs life span. You accept what it is, enjoy the time they are with us and grieve at their loss. Just like any other species including humans, some die young, but most live good average lives dependent on their treatment and care.

LuLu Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 To those of you who mentioned losing pets, I'm sorry. It's never easy. There is no joy greater than that from a beloved pet. And with that being said, here's my current collection lol... I'm here. What are your other two wishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" LuLu, you`ve said it all. There is not a single human relationship, past or present that has not suffered ups and downs. With a dog or any other animal, such an unpredictable nature does not exist. It is 100% pure love, dedication and affection. I love your menagerie, they are a superb collection of cuddles.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2014 A dogs life span varies according to breed, but on average 10-12 years is about the limit for most breeds. Mine lived for 16 years, but I did give her purified water and good quality food. We had a cat that lived for I think 20 years, and it was a cat that was inside the house for only a few months but one day he decided to go outside and stay outside for the rest of his life. He was a very weird moon cat that would give people the look of "if I were bigger I'd eat you," he'd be gentle one moment and the next a complete psycho attacking your leg. He even had a wild rabbit as a friend, they'd sit in the yard right next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuLu, this may sound odd to most people, but although I have lost parents, a wife, all my Aunts and Uncles, plus some very close friends, the memories which haunt me every single day and each night are those of my beloved dogs. I just cannot shake them off and I have no doubt that they will follow me to the grave. It is not the many treasured and happy years they gave me which should dominate my mind, but the memory and circumstances of their deaths. I guess that is the price I have to pay for all the pleasure they gave me. A kind of pay-back time.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about the ones I've lost, especially my dog Mandy who ended up dying due to that melamine issue with Pedigree dog food some years ago (not sure if you had ever heard about that). Of all the happy memories I have of her, my mind always wanders to her last few weeks and how horrible things were for her. So I totally get what you're saying here. I'm here.

LuLu, i think that my special bond with my dogs is because I have no children and each one of my dogs became as dear to me as any son or daughter are to other people. Their loss was exactly the same to me. Aut viam inveniam aut faciam - "I will either find a way or make one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
