her logic as always doesn't work
Dogs don't live that freaking long, though mine is quite ancient and the second one was 14 when she died. Even cats live longer - (I have a 18 or 19 year old cat )
and you cannot buy an animals love or devotion, they either love you, tolerate you because you are the can opener or in some cases stay grumpy with you anmd just accept you as the can opener ...
