Of cancer. I wonder how much CHEMLAWN graced the lawns at the WH?
I remember FLOTUS had to remove/replace dirt to make her garden a semblance of organic...!
I've had a lot of terriers, and absent a health issue, they usually make it to the teens. I had just one (a rescue they were going to put down, I took her for what amounted to just two years, good dog, too) with liver disease (shunt) that I kept going only until ten or eleven years of age, but most of 'em lasted at least fifteen years (another rescue) to as long as 19 (a "terrier mix" of several terriers that looked like a mop that we got as a pup).
Of course, I don't use CHEMLAWN and I don't take my dogs places where that kind of stuff is all over the joint--they're awfully close to the grass, they don't have a chance...!
