Question

Do you ever wonder why dogs, one of the most precious things in life have such a short life span?

Answer 1

UGH!

thats my worst fear.

most people are afraid of heights or sharks something like that.

Nope not me.

I am afraid of my dogs Birthdays.

call me crazy but thats me worst fear.

I am freaking out already my dogs are 4,3 1/2,19 weeks.

and I HATE the fact that my two older dogs are getting older.

It drives me up the walls.

ill let you on a little secret of mine,

when i was a child we always have had big dogs My dad is the BIGGEST animal lover in the world.

at one time as a child we had 24 pets (very crazy)

but now that i am an adult i always have little dogs.

there life spans are much longer then a big dog.

i just love big dogs people ask me why don't you get one.

i make an excuse up and say "Oh because i don't have space for one".

truth is its all because of there life spans.

so now you know my little secret :]

It's really sad though that they don't have that long to live... :(

Answer 4

yes I do. Call me crazy but the more I see how bad people are, I think dogs are better the  humans. I do wonder why their life is so short. They are one of the best things in life.

Answer 5

10-15 years isnt THAT short...

Answer 6

That's so sad to think about. Your right about them being precious. That's why we should give them unconditional love and make each day as full of happiness as we can.  : )

Answer 7

I read a story about a young boy whose dog had died and when people asked him if he was OK he answered " I am and so is my doggie now" and went on to say "The reason why dogs die so young and not people is because they learn to love unconditional in a very short time and that is why they go to heaven before people"

I thought it was so cute, I hope you do too!

Answer 8

Cause they just do.....

Answer 9
