Diva is currently 12 years and 8 months old and still going strong - she is due to turn 13 on 1 May this year and I so hope she makes that age and beyond! She has had some major health 'events' - spleen and tumour removal, bloat and a full on cardiac arrest in Oct last year - and so far she has bounced back from all of them. Diva's vet continues to be astounded and impressed with her longevity and spirit.
Yes she is slower with her arthritis, greyer and sleeps more than she used to, but she is still feisty and continues to love to get out and about - including to the dog park to play with her toyboy Buster (15 month old lab/rhodesian ridgeback cross).
She is my heart and soul dog and I hope that she is around for alot longer yet
