What is the longest you've owned a pet and what were they like?
We had Dakota, our German Shepherd, for 13 years. She was a year or two old when we got her so she was pushing the average age limit for her breed.
We had Dutchess for 12 years. She died too young, from throat cancer.
I had a cat, Smoky, for about 15 years. Before that I had another cat, Chigger, for about 15 years.
Before THAT I had a Cocker Spaniel mix, Snuffy, for 16 years.
They were all good animals and part of the family. Whenever a kid got timeout, Snuffy would go sit with them in the time out spot and stare at me accusingly!
None of the dogs ever once bit any one, or even snapped at anyone.
