A bunch of us here chipped in to pay for a dog's glaucoma surgery. It wasn't a rescue dog but his name was Boomer and he is very sweet.

oldest dog
At 203 in doggie years, is Bella the mongrel the world's oldest dog ever?
By Chris Brooke
The joy of gnawing on a bone is a distant memory and these days the only walkies she can manage is a potter around the garden.
But that's not bad going considering Bella the Labrador cross is around 29 years old.
That's 203 if every year of a dog's life equals seven human years.
The faithful pet is believed to be the world's oldest living dog and could even be the oldest dog ever.
Unfortunately her owner David Richardson, 76, has no documentation to prove her precise date of birth and so Bella's extraordinary longevity will never enter the record books.

Wow. Bella is a love.
I'm going to ask Annie to live that long, so as to amortize my investments in her health care.

Casey would never get any credit either. We know she was born around Memorial Day five years ago, but that's all.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:oldest dog

Nice story, but I suspect if she were a male dog, she would have refused all help.

Pacemakers amaze me.
You speed up, they speed up. It's a marvel.
