Happy 182nd Birthday, Max
August 11th, 2009
There’s a million and one different formulas and theories which purport to convert human years into dog years so to keep things simply I’m just going to go with the popular myth that the ratio is a straight 1 to 7. Many happy returns of the day Max, you wizened old 182 year old goat you.
Max, a terrier cross from Louisiana who almost certainly doesn’t have a Twitter account, was born in 1983, the same year undomesticated drug-cocktail crooner Amy Winehouse was born. I’ll leave it up to you to decide who’s achieved more with their life since then.
1983 was also the year that designer Xavier Roberts introduced the world to Cabbage Patch Kids - and by the twinkle in Max’s eye I’m guessing that he chewed his fair share of those ugly little gargoyles into oblivion. Good boy!
Max’s owner, Janelle Derouen, attributes his long life thusly: “He’s a very, very laid back dog. He likes to lie down, relax, nap, sleep a lot and keep life simple.” This is fantastic news. Looks like I’ve got another 130 years in me yet.
Lol! Your blog posts are funny! I’m going to come back for more! Happy birthday, Max!
