What, you didnt know this?  LOL! I lost a 17yo rescue a bit ago (we knew he
didnt have long but needed a final home).  I've been doing cats since 1978. 
Dogs only since retirement from the Navy.

Current denizns:

Daisy-chan, cat, feral estimated 6 years feral of her estimated age.
She was 18 months in 5 fosters and of that 18 months, at least was 2 months in
 a cage at petsmart.  Behavior rap sheet a mile long.  REad 'unadoptable'. 
Now, she's a lap kitty. She LOVES dogs.  Convinces them to sleep in sin with
her.

Cash-pup, major bad case of heartworms.  Systemic damage from them and
arthritis.  Spine issues.  Now aged probably 4, was over estimated on age
because he looks like a beagle but he's really big. Looks like a Bull Mastiff
and a Beagle fell in love/lust (I know, the mind boggles!).  Perfect weight
for him is 52-55 lbs.  Sleeps in sin with the cat.

Mabel Anne, like Cash an abandoned heartworm victim.  She's also deaf. 
Appears recently deaf. Age 10-12 believed.  Beagle mix (this one looks like a
spanish cocker fell in love/lust with a beagle).  She's not much bigger than
the cat Daisy-chan. Insists on being in the middle when sleeping in sin with
Cash and Daisy but Daisy is getting used to not having the preferred spot.
