My pitbull, 70 lbs, 14 years old. His name is Sin, or "sin-dawg"
Wow Dave, a fourteen year old pitty, you must be doing a great job. Was that photo recent? He looks so young for his age. One of ours is an American pitbull and is now 15, one of her "buddies" is 17 but has cancer. The American Pit is showing every inch her age. Once she lost interest in walking she has aged really quickly.
My own personal dog is a cross between a kelpie, perhaps some lab and maybe staffie too. She is a reddish brown with a white chest and feet. She weighs around 30kg (around 66 pounds I think) down from 35 since I got her. She belonged to my aunt but she had to go into care and had to give her up. I was going to go for a smaller dog that could ride in my sea kayak but this one came along and I couldn't say no. She's about eight and had been locked away for three of those because of my aunts condition.
She was pretty hyper and chased cars, birds, cats, bumble bees, anything. It took a while but I managed to get her prety sociable. She's pretty well a dream now. Well socialised and good to walk, even gets on with most cats. Who said you can't teach an older dog new tricks anyway?
My last two dogs were rottweiller cross strays (I never choose dogs, they seem to just come to me) and to be honest, when they got sick and had to be carried I realised they were just a bit too big for me to handle. They were both brothers and died a month apart, I was totally devastated.
