My wife
Three cardigan welsh corgis, Allie, Angie, and Louie. Angie and Louie are in their 7th year and Allie is 6. Angie was severely injured (ruptured disk) 18 months ago. It has taken her nearly forever to recover significant function, but she has and today can run for short distances and is as happy and healthy as normal...we just have to make sure she's fully expressed 2x a day so she doesn't get UTIs.
Then there's Alfalfa who is a 22 year old cockatiel which is quite aged for a bird of that species. He's still has a ton of spunk, fully flighted, completely bonded to my wife and watches over her every night from the curtain rod above the bay window in the bedroom. He then sleeps during the day when she's out and about doing her pet sitting job.
Then there's me, at the low end of the totem pole.
