Our Genie turned 18 years YOUNG this month. She's doing wonderfully. Bright eyes, good teeth, and still full of energy. Loves to run & play with other pups!

My Onyx (affectionately known as Nana) is 10 1/2. I had a big party for her since she was my first double digit girl. (Topaz went to the bridge at 5 and Brindle at 8).

 

So far, so good! (knock on wood)

Here's my Little Old Lady:

Delfina is around 11 (when we got her 3 years ago she was around 8) and Vasco is around 7. Only in the last year I notice Delfina getting older. She sleeps a lot more than she used to, but she still (despite her heart condition) loves chasing cats and pouncing on her stuffies! And when she's up for it during walks with our adoption group, she will do a run and is -despite her age- always the fastest of the crowd.

My oldest Grey (my only Grey) is 3.5, as is my foster who goes home on Saturday. My last Greyhound only lived to be 4, thanks to osteo :( However, my Schnauzer died in April- she was pushing 17. I have never met a Greyhound that old, though.

Genie ran for 5 years, and was a brood Mom for another 5 years...we didn't adopt till she was 11!!! At the time, GPA told us that we'd be lucky to get her to 13...but, at 18...she's still my wild child! We are SOOO LUCKY!

A lady at Petsmart the other day stopped to say hello to our gang. She said that her mother's grey was 20 years old! :eek She said that she can't see anything now, but gets around fine. She also said that she sleeps all the time and I said, "What's so different about that?" :lol I hope that we can be as lucky!

Just saw the thread...

 

Linus will be 13 in August. We adopted him 2 weeks before his 9th birthday. :) Other than a bit of arthritis, he is healthy and doesn't look nor act his age!

Unfortunately, Piper went to the bridge in April but she had a great life right up to the end.

Lexi the pointeresque mutt (1999), Homer the chi mix (2010) and Lacey the ? (2009). Always remembering Dita, Best, Oba, Bubba, and the others at the bridge.

:( I was just reading this thread and was going to PM you to ask how Piper was doing. Sorry to hear that you lost her, but so glad she had such an awesome long life!! :beatheart

 

I just adopted Pammy yesterday, she's 12. She'll be 13 in October.

 

Finn is 4 (5 in January) and Banjo is 3.
