I never had cats as pets. My parents hated them so we never had cats. I don't hate them but I just prefer dogs more. Cats are usually left on their own right? And they come back if they get hungry?
Keira... I don't think I'll recover from that. 11 years is a long time in doggie life. Poor Mikey. I guess he's a sickly dog. How did you know he was having a seizure? What are the signs to look for? I think bigger dogs are prone to a lot of health issues compared to small dogs. Of course it also depends on how you take care of them and the food they eat (which is important). __________________

Yes kiera my poor baby prior to her getting diabetes she was healthy I thought she would outlive my older dog mikey but she didn't... but she was in pain so it was thw right thing to do. Mikey was the longest 13 years , he calapsed in our house just fell down and was kind weird on his walks like he was only using one side of his legs __________________

Our last cat passed at 19. The cat we still have is 19 this year. My dog was 12 earlier this year. I still refer to them as babies

I've read some stories and also with my friends who are cat owners. Some of them get aggressive and can scratch you anytime.
Yeah I understand about Keria and it had to be done. Oh so Mikey lived long too? Gosh I'm scared because my doggie will be 13 next year. I just got back from the vet today for his check-up. He's generally okay but I told the vet "okay for now" and she just nervously laughed. I keep telling my dog to hang on because I will lose it when that day comes. __________________

That's what I think too. A lot of this mindset also has to do with my parents. I grew up not liking cats because they hate them. When I got older, I thought they are okay but I'm still not fond of them. Like I won't go over and pet cats the way I pet dogs.
We went to the vet because of his regular check-ups. I always talk to my dog and just tell him to hang on because he's getting weak and it's a struggle for him to stand up from a lying down position so it's me just being dramatic to my dog. My cousin told me to prepare myself but really what for? I know I will still be devastated when that time comes. __________________

I'm trying to prepare myself because just seeing him like this makes me sad. He sleeps a lot now and doesn't play so much anymore. Sometimes he doesn't want to walk and prefers to sleep. This is also the first time I've had a dog this long.

I was in Tokyo. It was my first time there. It was raining a bit but we still managed to go out when it stopped raining. Also I love Japanese food so I was in heaven.
Oooohh, what tattoo do you plan on getting? How long did the groomer work there? __________________
