Syru, what a handsome Shepherd and beautiful kitty! We have 3 cats, 14, 13 and 11.

We had one cat live to be 24 years old ... well, actually we had to have her euthanized two months before her 24th birthday. She was a solid black cat but by the time she was 20 her entire muzzle was gray and her whiskers turned gray and her front paws too.

Sue: My sisters dogs don't growl, snarl or ever show their teeth. They are all big, lovable dogs, just aren't trained to mind. Bubba is the only one who is so big he can back up to a chair and sit down but he never growls. He is a big baby.

I could never be comfortable with a dog that showed his teeth and growled at me! That is a sign of dominance and the human should be the dominant one. They will try to be the authority if you let them. That Alpha dog mentality.

This is my sisters yellow lab "Zach"
