(one of the class clowns, partaking in jokes such as how the kids in LOTF could get off their boat shaped island by turning it on) decided how he should name his son that.

I thought they were horrifying to half the people on earth?

Guys, this belongs in the terrified thread or happy thread. :P

Yeesh. I know breeds that get up to around waist level/120ish lbs have it bad already in terms of health issues, I don't even want to think about what dogs that big have to deal with.

Having looked into Irish Wolfhounds quite a bit, that would be: heart problems (from having to work so hard to pump blood around), bone cancer (because their leg bones/skeletons grow so fast) and "gastric torsion". Their average lifespan is 7 years. You kinda have to go into it prepared to accept that only living 5-6 years isn't uncommon.

Beautiful dogs though. :(

To be fair, dogs aren't the most long-lived pets anyway.

Better to get a miniature horse.
Yeah, but the difference between a average of 11 years (which is what medium sized dogs get) and 7 years is pretty huge. Its like the difference between living 50 years and 78 years.

... depends on what you consider long lived. From what I've seen, a smaller (say medium-ish down) breed in decent health can expect to live at least a decade, and I've personally had two that made it to around 15 or so, and family had another handful that lasted in excess of a decade.

The long and short of it is that the largest of the dog breeds have roughly 3/4ths to a half the expected lifespan of the smaller ones. It's a pretty extreme difference.

Just saying, if they hate bees they're probably cultists. Have you noticed any beings wearing your neighbours lately?

In that case, you should get a tortoise. Or better yet, a tree.

Trees make great pets, surely.

... tortoise, maybe. Trees cannot feel love. Their black arboreal hearts wish only to consume the dead flesh of our forefathers. Also far less cuddly than a turtle. At least the ones that don't pee on you.

Walter de la Mer, The Listeners.

So yea. They're listeners. Make great pets. And horses get an ample food supply from underneath them. They rarely die within a human lifetime, and can grow a moss that's cuddly. They never need walks, are always where you expect them to be and sort...grow on you, really.

Yep. Best pet ever.

If you get a fungal infection from hugging a tree, you're not doing it right.
