Guest Pottersclay597 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We had to usher our big goober, Bill, to the bridge this past thursday....it was really tough because we thought we had at least another 3+ years to have him around...cancer is what took him...I do have a question for anyone that has had to usher multiple g'hounds to the bridge...we have had to usher 5 of our hounds over the years and we have noticed a weird pattern with our furkids....has anyone else experienced the fawn or red hounds not living as long as other color hounds??? We have had 3 fawn g'hounds over the years and all have died before their 10th birthday...we had a "cowdoggie" that lived to be 15 and our tuxiegirl, Lylie is going strong at 13...I was just wondering if anyone else has seen similar patterns???

Guest zombrie Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm so sorry for your loss And like others said, it all varies. Ace was 9 when he passed of stomach cancer, he was brindle. Manny passed when he just turned 3 due to what we suspect a brain tumor (waiting for results from an autopsy), he was white and red brindle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
