Oldest dog dies at 21

I know the jokes are "but she was really 147."

Nonetheless, 21 is a remarkable age to live until. Rest in peace, Chanel, who died Friday in Port Jefferson Station on Long Island.

Here's the story from the Huffington Post, with an assist from the Associated Press.

The wire-haired dachshund held the record as the world's oldest dog and was feted on her 21st birthday by the Guinness World Records.

There is another dog, in Louisiana, being scrutinized, claiming 26 years (see my previous blog post here).

That takes nothing away from Chanel and the long life she's led.
