In less than two months, Flossie is going to celebrate her 27th birthday. Why is that a big deal? Because Flossie is a cat, and no other feline has been recorded to live as long as her. Because of that, Guinness World Records has declared she is World’s Oldest Living Cat.
Flossie is newly adopted by Vicki Green. The cat was originally adopted as a kitten in 1995, but her mother passed away ten years later. The owner’s sister took the kitty in until she passed away 14 years after her sister. Then that woman’s son decided to bring the feline home. However, after a couple of years, he did not feel that he could take care of Flossie, who is now deaf and going blind. So he brought her into Cats Protection, who knew that Vicki would be the purrfect mom for Flossie’s final years.
Vicki is ensuring that her new best friend will have the best life possible, so she is spoiling her with love and food. Because what else does a cat want?
While Flossie is the oldest living cat, she is not the oldest cat to have lived. That title goes to Creme Puff, who lived from August 3, 1967, until August 6, 2005. 38 years old is going to be a nearly impossible record to break, as much as we would love our cats to live that long.
The Guinness Book of World Records has a new Oldest Dog Living as of November 15th, and his name is Gino. The Chihuahua and Eskimo mix turned 22 in September, and he lives in Los Angeles.
Gino’s best friend and dad, Alex Wolf, said, “I’ve taken great care of him over the years and he is still in relatively very good shape…and really cute still which is surprising considering his age!”
He is really cute, and I hope he has many more years ahead of him!
Pebbles, the Guinness World Record holder for Oldest Living Dog, passed away on Monday at the age of 22.
The Toy Fox Terrier was born on March 28, 2000, on Long Island, but spent the majority of her life in South Carolina with her furents and baby daddy. Together the late Rocky and Pebbles were the parents to 32 puppies.
Her furents, Bobby and Julie Gregory said, “She spent her days enjoying country music and being loved. She enjoyed trying new foods, she was pampered, and most of all she was loved. It has been said, she has given us more than we have ever given her, and no statement could be truer. She impacted everyone she encountered. Pebbles was not just another dog; she had her own way about her, and her own personality. She was a once in a lifetime companion, and it was our honor to have had the blessing to have had her as a pet, and family member. There was never anyone who met Pebbles that didn’t love her. She will be deeply missed.”
My heart goes out to her furents because pet owners dream of having an animal for that long. So, I can’t even imagine their pain.
Dolly Parton is going to the dogs, so that means you can dress your best friend up as the beloved singer from snout to tail.
You can put a blonde wig on your puppy just like Dolly’s. And there is plenty of bling, aka jeweled collars to go with the hair. Now, they say you are never fully dressed without a smile, but in this case, there are plenty of t-shirts and dresses to choose from. Finally, you can’t spell Dolly without doll and dolls are toys. So you can get your pooch a stuffed guitar to play with and so much more.
Don’t have a dog; then you can buy a stuffed one to accessorize because who doesn’t want to have a dog (real or fake) modeling Doggy Parton for everyone to see? And the best part is that everything on the line is reasonably priced.
The only negative is my cat thinks Dolly is being a Jolene because the legend is cheating my kitty out of all this enjoyment since this is for dogs only. I think my pussy would look good as a blonde, but we will never know because Doggy Parton is for dogs only. Or is it?
Tomorrow is National Dog Day, and Krispy Kreme is celebrating the holiday. They are one-upping pup cups and selling Doggie Doughnuts all weekend long, aka until supplies run out.
You can get your puppy a half dozen donut-shaped biscuits that were baked by Huds and Toke just for your best friend. What dog doesn’t deserve a yummy treat? And what is yummier than this? Well, besides pig ears.
So make sure to go early because you are not going to want to miss out on this gift for your pooch. They earned it.
One last note, I was like, why don’t they call them dog nuts? And then I realized that sounds like something your vet gives you after you neuter your doggy. My cat would like those!
