I'm 29. I was 27 when I got my two boys, just a few months before our birthday. 29, when I got my baby girl. She's a year younger than them. Jim was 33 when we got the boys, he's now 35. I'm sure I'll be 30 something when we get our 4th!!!

I'm 23, BF is 25. We decided we wanted a greyhound 2 years ago, but waited until we really had time to do training and such. We adopted Tarmac a little over 2 months ago, and he's my (our) first dog. He turned 6 at the beginning of June.

 

I don't know how college students find the time to take care of a dog - I was so much busier when I was in school than I am now.

I agree! I graduated a few months ago and I could have NEVER had a dog then, my cat luckily was very self sufficient, which was nice on the all nighters at the library!

We are 25 well I am almost 26 :) Bailey is 5 and we got her a month after we got married. 3 years ago. Everyone thought we were nuts for doing that too.

 

Our Family thought we were also nuts. Can't imagine what they will say when we got our second sometime this summer

I was 33 y/o and hubby was 35 y/o when we adopted our first greyhound this past April. We've been married and owned our own home for 10 years. I guess we weren't up to responsibility of dog ownership until now.

I am 32 and my DH is 50... I still don't officially own a grey yet. My first experience was at an assisted living facility where I picked up a grey to live there. She is the first dog that stole my heart. She still has it and will always. I go visit her every week. I have had dogs all my life as my parents owned an obedience school and so I was exposed to so many breeds. Currently I am fostering a very sweet grey girl and waiting for the day my heart (Isis) will come home with me.

I will be turning 50 in June so I smiled when I read about people dreading their upcoming 30's. I dread turning 50 but it beats turning 30...at this age I worry far less about the small stuff, care less about others' opinions of me, am financially secure...and way smarter about life in general.

 

However, my mind is still very young and my body is fit and healthy so I can keep up with our greys: Bailey who's 8 and Ben who is 4. By the way, DH is going to be 54...that helps me feel younger too! :lol

I was going to reply to this, but looks like I have over the summer. (post# 202) I can't believe this one is still going around. I'm still 29 though. ;)

Yer all young bucks, I'm 62, the DW is 58, we have three hounds, Blue Moon is 10, Paige is 6, and Pride is 3. Cats in this household would be moving targets so We don't have any. :rolleyes:
