'OUTLYER AND GHAZALS'

Patricia Broughan Cohen: Of my six mastiffs over 23 years, not counting the one murdered at 4 [If I were to ever catch the murderer, he would suffer the same fate only I would not offer the medical care mine received and the merciful end that came to be], they all left me between the ages of 9 to 13[an outlyer]. Respectively and honestly, patricia broughan cohen

You asked me to impeove answer, whqt do you want? The textbook 9-11 years. Sorry, at 65 you get the truth. No one and nothing in my house receives any abuse--cockroaches receive immediate death--the furniture, well that's a different story. This IS my final answer. pbcohen
