It is a shame that large dogs don't live much beyond 10 years, some 12 years. They are such a part of the family. It is amazing how some owners feel the need to prove their dog is superior. I like the way Nero and Trev handled the Dobermn. What was the idiot thinking?
I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking...
Ninus lived to be 11 - but he had to be euthanised because of a bone tumour.
That was not a good Christmas. We lost Rom just before my birthday (November) and we then lost Ninus just after Trev's birthday (January).
What an awful year! I keep watching our dogs for signs of tumours or cancer too because they are getting on in years. We have had one close call, a very large tumour that was successfully removed.
