Charleen, I love my Karoosh. He was my son's dog while he was living in Florida with an old girlfriend, They decided they wanted to move to San Antonio, Tx, and then could not find a place that would allow pets, ans ask us to keep hi till they found a pet friendly apartment. Well, that was 10 years ago, and we still have him. Karoosh is about 14 years old now, about 2 years past his life expectancy. He has cataracts in both eyes, and has arthritis in his hips.
