Food for thought

Y'know how you count 7 dog years for every human year? The way things are set up in the States (and probably Mexico) these days, one human year equals six chicken lifetimes. Hormones and crap that makes one yearn for the simplistic barbarity of fois gras.

Just in relation to your opening comment, this has exercised me lately. As human life expectancy increases do we need to recalculate the formula or is dog life expectancy keeping pace? They are, after all, also getting the benefits of improved medicine. Indeed many pet owners are prepared to spend more on their animals than themselves.

We have anthropomorphised pets so much, they are treated as surrogate children :-) But medical and nutritional advances aside, I reckon the 7:1 ratio is still pretty accurate. They still shoot horses for broken legs, don't they? While the Yanks might be cloning pets, how often do you hear of heart transplants for Fluffy?
