I had a few dogs and cats over the years. one was Charlie, he was a golden lab, i was born around the time he was 6 yrs old, when he turned 13 he died of old age sadly, he was in pain the last night before his death, he threw up about twice then died in his sleep. Then there is Bandit, he was my best friend in the world when i was little. but then he got a tumor in his brain when he was 6 yrs old. we didn't notice at first until he spinned around and flipped around like crazy. he finally took him to the vet and they put him down. it was sad. they are both buried in the backyard with little tome stones :rose: last but not least there was Smokey, a gray cat. she was a super cranky old thing. she didn't like me or anyone else expect my mom. I didn't like her but i didn't want her to die. but she did die of nautral casues. Right now i got 4 dogs and a cat. i kept one for about 10 yrs and another for 6 yrs,another one for 4 yrs. and there is a tabby cat who loves everyone and keeps the house save from rodents and intruders, her name is Illison, she is 10 yrs old and we had her for 8yrs, and the youngest is Charlie, i named him that for a memornial for the old Charlie who died. Young Charlie we had for 2 yrs. :heartbeat
