Atai's family is incredibly long lived-- I should post a pic of her at about 3 months with her 15 year old mom, who I believe lived to nearly 20, the day we met her in Almaty. I believe her grandmother, another compact little dog, also lived about that long.<br /><br />Lashyn on the other hand, not yet 12, has been slowed down for years, and now has diabetes and cataracts. Lurcher Plummer is 2 years older and fat and a bit creaky but otherwise still thinks he is a pup.Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-80960004681327092842012-01-11T05:54:20.224-08:002012-01-11T05:54:20.224-08:00Isn't 8 the new 4 in dog years now?

My desert bred Saluki and Azawakh were also quite functional up to their last year(13 and 11, respectively). And at 52 myself, I aim to try to live up to the quote from one of my favorite movies "The Wind And The Lion" about Sean Connery's character, the Raisuli, "last" of the Barbary Pirates(paraphrased here)--"He's over 50, and still quite the formidable brigand!"....L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-85381227579399985972012-01-11T04:58:21.847-08:002012-01-11T04:58:21.847-08:00Good to see you out and about!Good to see you out and about!N_Chttp://neutrino-cannon.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-51102670314680387302012-01-10T18:11:53.865-08:002012-01-10T18:11:53.865-08:00JH-- as Canat Cheryasda would say.
