A photo of my German wirehairs, Whinnie is turning 14, and Lily will turn 18 in about six weeks. Just felt like sharing. Both hunted this past fall. The old one has been draped across my lap the last couple of hours.  | ||

Eighteen! I got 15 good years out of my first Brittany, Molly. Miss that girl. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

No greater hunting breed than a true German Wirehair. I’ve had several different hunting breeds. The wirehair was by far the best | |||

Great photo, Marty! My oldest Brittany turns 17 in early May. I’ve never had one that age before. He’s retired w/ a bad hip now. Brittman | |||

Marty, Wow, that really is great to have them hunting at that age. You must certainly take very good care of them (& vice versa!). Congrats, Jim | |||

How amazing and lucky to keep a dog 18 years. Wish my Blackie could have done that. cal _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

The old girl turns 18 on Monday. At this rate she may outlive me! Stairs are getting a little hard, and she needs encouragement to eat. She poops on the floor once in awhile. So what. She will suck down cheap hot dogs and white bread on days the Iams doesn’t go it for her. I wish I had half as much heart as she does. | |||

Lost the old girl today at 18 and 5 months. She was struggling more each day, keeping her going beyond this would have just been ego gratification at her expense. It couldn’t have beeN more peaceful. I sedated her with 8mg of alprazolam, and laid on the grass with her until she fell asleep before going to the vet. Wherever she is I hope she gets to chase pheasants. | |||

. Marty, Sorry to read that. 18 years is twice what many dogs get! Glad it was a peaceful end. 18 years of great memories I am sure. All the best, Charlie . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

Marty: Am very sorry to read your loss. All day today I've been babysitting my 15 1/2 y.o Shipperke: Midnight. Sick, for a long time she kept lapping at the water pan. 15 minutes or more. Maybe a quart down. She's doing a lot better tonight. Best wishes to you folks. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||
