In all probability, I won't experience Emiliano's death but in all likelihood, he will experience mine and I worry about that also.

Who wouldn't love that sweet, little face? I currently have two 16 year olds (going on 17). They are Blazin's nieces out of his litter brother Fuzz. Blazin' and Fuzz are the 5th generation of my breeding. Thus, the 16 year old girls are 6th generation Brite Star on their father's side of the pedigree. One is the 8th generation Brite Star on her mom's side. The other would be 10th generation IF all the generations had been my breeding. Four of those 10 generations were bred by other show breeders out of my bloodlines before the bloodlines again came home to my line again. Both of my 16 year old girls recently (during the past 6 months) lost her moms who were 18 and almost 20. I miss their moms so much... The longer a Chi owns you, the more it becomes part of your heart. The only down side of loving a Chihuahua is having to someday say goodbye. That day really hurts. I can't image having one of the Giant Breeds where their life expectancy is only 7 or 8 years. Liz I am the Senior in my house, my little guy Emiliano will be 3 years old on November 12th, so arrangements for him have been made in my will. Robert has an older Chi named Jane Jane, he also had the mother, father, and I believe a sibling (now all deceased). If I remember correctly, Jane Jane is 16 and until hearing about Blazin, I think she was the Senior dog in our list. Gloria
