Mikey aka Miker Man

It is with sadness that I share that Mikey aka Miker Man crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday afternoon of this week. I was hesitant to share this as Landon was off to camp for a week. He knew that he was not doing so well before he left and spent some very special, quality time with him. Mikey was my oldest son's first pet that he picked out. Mikey was a part of our family for almost 18 years. This is his picture with Landon this past Christmas. His present was a new, comfy bed for those old bones.

Mikey - Still Going Strong at 17!

Here is Mikey. He will be 17 years old next month. He has really mellowed out now that he is older. Cats live so much longer than dogs on average. I believe the oldest cat known lived to the age of 36. Our first pair of German Shepherds made it to 11 years old. So, Mikey is going on his second set of shepherds. He only weighs about 12 pounds but my German Shepherds do respect him! In my household, cat and dogs do get along!
