om... I'm speaking about a breed of dog that I know and have raised for many years, the Newfoundland. Newfs, forty years ago, had a lifespan between 16-20 years. There lifespan now is an average of 8 years. My last one was 14 when he died and this was considered "very old" for a Newf. Could this largely have to do w/ inbreeding & (too) strict breed standards, perhaps? (Not just w/Newfoundlands - any particular dog breed that has a relatively short life span.) I've had cats for over 30 years. Up until 14 years ago my cats were fed commercial pet food. None of my cats lived past the age of 12 and had one problem after another through their life. I've also had cats for just over 30 years - since June '73. My cats, otoh, have all been fed commercial food - premium since '91, & have so far lived to be 16 & 17 (almost 18). My current cats are 11 & just 4. For every story on one side of the table one is liable to find a story on the other side of the table.. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..."

In all the time I've read this newsgroup I can recall only one time that you posted that you worked for Hills on your own without someone else pointing it out first. You never say you do unless someone brings it up first. I remember when I first started reading posts in this newsgroup and came across Steve Crane's posts. I always wondered why he so highly recommended HIll's foods, but I just figured he liked them. I had no idea he actually worked for Hill's until it was pointed out to me.
