Can Someone Please Help Ryan Lochte Figure Out How Old His Dog REALLY Is?

Somewhere out there Ryan Lochte is crying into a beer as Forever Young plays on loop.
On Sunday, Ryan made headlines again after he wished his dog Carter Lochte a happy 8th birthday. While the gesture itself isn’t a big deal, it soon became a story after some internet sleuths realized the swimmer had wished Carter a happy 8th birthday two times before.

Ha! Either R.L. isn’t too great at math or he’s floating down a river we like to call DENIAL.
What’s funny is, this ridiculous mixup comes on the heels of the swimmer’s Rio robbery controversy. You think the athlete would triple-check his facts after his web of lies fell apart in August!

Wow… the jokes just write themselves.
Following the gaffe, Ryan deleted the 2016 tweet and replaced it with an updated message which read:

9 years ago this handsome son of mine was born. Happy birthday buddy, many more to come! Love you! #mansbestfriend pic.twitter.com/55ddDuTs4u

Inneresting. We wonder if this is ACTUALLY the dog’s age… we don’t know what to believe anymore!
Happy 8th 9th b-day, Carter!
