Actually, Buck, Flopsy died at 18 years, 10 months and 21 days of age.

FY "correct" I. I gave an erroneous age in the previouspost. Worthwhile reading to go back to page 1, for those ofyou not familiar with Flopsy's accomplishments.

Actually, I think that the longetivity of pets'lives does not always depend on care. As it is with people, I think itsjust genes and health.(or destiny)
My grandparents had a dog that lived for 18 years, she was not fedanything special, just the cheapest salami thay could find in a store.The dog ate exactly the same thing every day with maybe some occasionaltreats of ice cream and raw meat.
When they took to put him to sleep, he was very old and had problemseven walking. He could not eat or go to the washroom, so they decidedto put him to sleep.

I think you're partly right, Anna. My mom had acat that lived to be 22 years old. I was actually only 18 when hefinally passed on, so he was even older than me at the time.

*sigh* I still miss that cat sometimes, my whole childhood is filled with memories of him.

I know (not pesonally, but am chatting with onthe internet) a woman that lives in england that currently has a13year old rabbit, and he is still going strong We are secretly hoping that he breaks that record, because that wouldbe the coolest thing in the world.

But that is a very interesting story. You would never think that a wildbun that wasalmost too young to survivewould be theoldest living rabbit



Great story xxx
