Oh dear, my mom and dad are getting ready to
celebrate my 5th birthday. I know a
lady doesn’t usually like to divulge her age but
I’m very sad because they can’t decide how old I
am in ‘people’ years. I’ve tried to tell them
that it doesn’t matter – I’m 5 – but they’re
still discussing it. I just hope they don’t get
so busy they forget to have my birthday party!
My dad says to multiply seven years to my age
which would make me 35 years old in ‘people’
years. That would make me a very classy woman –
which I am – a very classy, prissy princess -
same thing, right?
My mom says that it’s not an automatic 7 year
multiplication. She keeps talking about some
French veterinarian and some book titled ‘The
Proper Care of Golden Retrievers’. Who cares –
I’m a princess and I want my party!
Anyway, this French veterinarian came up with a
formula that states:
|
Dog’s Age |
Human’s Age |
|
1 year |
15 years |
|
2 years |
24 years |
|
3 years |
28 years |
|
4 years |
32 years |
|
8 years |
48 years |
|
12 years |
64 years |
|
15 years |
76 years |
|
20 years |
96 years |
This means that we puppies develop rapidly
during our first 2 years, much more than the
normal 7 year old human ‘puppy’. Of course,
we’re smarter than human ‘puppies’. And after
the first 2 years the aging slows down (thanks
goodness) to 4 years of human age to 1 year of
dog age. So, when I’m 10 years old I’ll be 56
years old in human terms not 70 years. YEAH for
me! Bet I’ll be younger than my parents!! But
where’s my party??
So, whether you believe my dad or go by my mom’s
calculation I’m either 35 or 36 years old in
people terms. Great – now let’s work on that
Birthday Party!
Wait a minute – now I know why Finnigan is so
goofy – he’s a mere kid around 24-28 years
people age. I knew there was a reason he’s such
a doofus. Guess I’ll have to continue to work
with him. He’s almost got all my bad traits
copied. Another year (4 human years) and I
should have him completely trained.
Gotta run – I think I just saw mom bringing a
birthday cake into the kitchen. I have to check
it out – it better say Happy Birthday Emma!
Let’s hope so.
Happy Birthday to all of you great goldens out
there. I’ll invite you to my party if you
invite me to yours!!
Awesome!
Emma
