You are right. I did make and edit to my post and forgot that I did not include an age. The mouse backclicked on me when writing that and it was all lost so I had to retype it and left out the details I thought I had included. So, it is not your bad math. There is an X missing from the algebra. Still, since 1995 is 15 years ago and I trained my dog and horse for 4H, you can still take a MUCH better guess than 17. I would have had to have been 2 when I was training my animals to be 17. So your first guess was still pretty off on the math. But, I was 10 when I got the puppy for my birthday. Now, I am 25, and recently graduated from law school. My dog is dead. My cat and my horse as well as many other of their relatives are all still living fine on our farm.
