That's cool, hope she hangs in there.One of my pets that died last year was 14 years old, he was the runt of his litter and the rest of his family had all died of various cancers early on.Yet he died of old age.

I haven't looked into it that deeply because it's not something I want to set my hopes on. Its some time next year (I don't know the exact age of the current record holding dog, like in terms of months or days)If she makes it through 2015 then I'll look into it more deeply

And I'm sorry to hear about your pet
I used to own a dog since I was 1, and his name was Boutros (not to be confused with the UN secretary general at the time, Boutros Boutros-Ghali)My dog was 15 when he finally had to be put down (his back legs were completely spent, he couldn't walk and it was cruel to let him live like that for any longer than he should), which is fantastically long for a labrador/border collie cross (average life is only 12-13 years).My cats however were rather unfortunate in their lifetime, one losing an eye in a fight and another losing a leg when they were around 5 or 6 (reasons unknown, according to the vet the damage was similar to something you'd get from a beartrap?). How's your great dane faring life-wise? It sadly is the legs that seem to go first on the bigger dogs, but he must be doing well if he's a potential record breaker.
Sorry to hear about your cats. We rescued a cat that had its eyes poked out and was thrown from a car...
Quote from: Tyger on January 22, 2015, 08:58:24 AMSorry to hear about your cats. We rescued a cat that had its eyes poked out and was thrown from a car...Holy shit, the sick bastards!For my all my cat's injuries, they did live up to the normal age which wouldn't be likely under the circumstances, so there's that. Now I'm seriously surprised by that Danes' age if that's the lifespan, that's nearly 3 times it's life!
She'll be a Guinness world record holder. She's a Great Dane, and at 15 years old she's just one year short of holding the world record for Oldest Dane. I think that would be pretty coolDiscuss pets or world records or something
If my dog lives just 1 more year....
