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.
