| Elvis is 16 Hello and Happy Holidays! I joined this forum because I am looking for answers how to care for my 16 year Elvis. When he was 12, the Vet looked at me sadly when I asked about life span. She said they usually live about 13 years. I have been blessed with his company. He eats less, sleeps a lot, but is mostly healthy. So far, ailments have been treatable. The posts I read have been helpful. My heart goes out to those that have lost their companion. Thank you for this forum. Pat |

I know for sure Roxie would not have lived as long if we hadn't taken her to the vet every time a health issue arose. She was still running to the door jumping around and excited to see us at 17. She had CHD was on medication and enjoyed excellent quality of life up until about the last 2 weeks of her life.

| Wow that is something sixteen years old. I would say Elvis has a wonderful mom that gave him great care. I guess keep up on his vet check ups and keep doing what you are doing. I sure hope my Kinder lives that long. Susan |

| My sweet Heidi was 11 days away from her 18th birthday when we lost her. May you have many more years with your sweet baby. Happy birthday Elvis. |
