I started lurking right before we brought Maya home as a 9 week old puppy. I think I officially joined later that year. Maya is 5 now, which doesn't seem possible!
Well I only have Buster now since I lost Rocky, Jenny, & Ginger to old age. He was 10 months, he will be 9 tomorrow. Miagi was the only cat I had when I joined and he was about a year and is around 10 now. I didn't have Tiger, Angel, Rudy, & Dixie until way later.
I did not have either of my dogs when I joined Chaz.
It is very sad to think but only one of my dogs out of the 4 we had from when I joined is still alive (Beau). He was 2 or 3 when I joined and now is 8 1/2.
Desoto would have been around two he is four now and Radar was not even planned for at that point. In fact two years ago I had never even concidered a small dog as an option!
