Bud: My anchovy-tasting club and I have decided to retrace the magi’s path across the Holy Land this year.
Me: Anchovy-tasting club.
Bud: We were watching ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ while tasting the latest salty delicacies and thought “What a perfect seasonal celebration!”
Me: I don’t get it.
Bud: Of course not. You’re only Human. We’re talking of things divine.
Me: I see. The Human has a question.
Bud: Yes?
Me: How did you and your friend get out of wearing those silly costumes?
Bud: We’re smarter than the average canine.

Dogs live an average of 15 years.

Two of our dogs are past their expiration date. Bud is going to be eighteen next month. Elliot turned nineteen in November. It truly is a dog’s life around here.

Oh my gosh, how amazing that your dogs have lived so long! What breed are they, or are they mixed? My dog is an absolute mutt, we have no idea what he is mixed with, but a lot of people have told us they think that he will live longer because he is mixed with so many things! He is only a year and a half old now, so we will have to wait and see I guess!

Our Westie, Elliot, is ‘senior’ at 19. Bud is some kind of Shih-Tzu mix —you can see him featured in ‘Conversations with Bud’. Our vet is STILL trying to figure out what we’re doing; he wants to bottle our formula. ha.

Seriously! That is so amazing! I am so glad that you have gotten to have your dogs in your life for such a long time! They are some of the best family members!

My advice? Treat them like family. Remember they are dogs. Don’t forget modern medicine has its place. And use some good old-fashioned common sense. Oh— and lots of love.

Great advice! Thank you!
