I got my first dog when I was 9 years old and he was 8 weeks. He lived a month past my 24th birthday. So yeah, my pup saw me grow up and go off to college.
Now my frog, on the other hand... I got a grow-a-frog kit [little claw toed water frog] that same summer as I got my dog. My parents lectured me that I had to take care of it as long as it was alive and warned me that "that could mean you'll take it to college too" but what 9 year old kid thinks a frog lasts that long? Yeah, I had to take the dang thing to college. In fact, I'll be 32 next month and that frog is STILL kickin' around. She's swimming in a 15 gal all to herself. Anyway, sorry for going off on a tangent.
