my 17 year old cocker spaniel just passed away and i am really sad and mad that she couldn't live to grow old with me. i know 17 years is a long time for a dog, but the longer she lived, the harder i knew it would be to let her go....it sucks!!!

I wish I knew. My chow chow is going on 7 and I'm already afraid for her untimely death. She is so wonderful to my kids & to me. I'm sure that is how your cocker spaniel was as well. My heart goes out to you for your loss. You've lost your most loyal friend in the world! I just know your sweet dog was very lucky to have had YOU as her owner/mom. For her to have lived to the age of 17 shows how loving, caring & selfless you truly were to her. I don't know why dogs can't live as long as humans. It's just the way they were created to be. Perhaps to give other dogs a GREAT owner such as yourself during your lifetime. There are just too many abusive pet owners out there, mostly neglect. So many puppies and kittens die each day. Knowing yours had a wonderful fulfilling life with a warm hug every day of it's life is a great feeling of gladness. My sympathies to you & all who will miss her! :-(

Dogs live longer than humans as far as the aging process goes.The new method for calculating the human years equivilant to dog yeras is the first 2 dog years equal 25 human years. Each year thereafter equals 4 human years.

Well, in dog years your cocker spaniel was 119 years old. I know your feelings though, I wish I'd never see my dog pass away. But what is worse, seeing your dog pass away or having your dog see you pass away?

No, neither of those are achieveable. existence expectancy is how long on elementary something will stay. people stay seventy seven.6 years on elementary, whilst specific breeds of canine stay approximately 12-14 years. existence span is the longest achieveable length of time something can stay. people can stay at maximum a hundred twenty five years, canine at maximum can stay 30 years. it fairly is the maxiumum technology could make a canine stay. The canine who have been given closest to that age became Bluey an Australian farm animals canine that lived to be 29 years 5 months previous.
