Adopted old dogs die immediately upon adoption?

Do you by chance play with testing cheats enabled? I think I found the cause of this problem and need to know if I'm on the right track.
No, not the "boolpropyadayada" ones, just the occasional "move_objects on" which I always turn back off immediately, cuz I've had it crash from that before (I think). Besides that, no cheats or hacks that aren't from this site and Pets approved.
Earlier today I tried it again, after having applied the pets service call and job fixes from here, which I'm not saying fixed it or anything, but that's the only thing that's changed, and with two new families and 2 new elder dogs, things went fine----however, in one family the dog's elder lifestage says "Elder is 0 days old" and in the other family, it says "Elder is 24 days old", both being at the same place in the elder lifestage progress. So it's both random and inconsistant. I can't go back to the original family and lot that it happened on, because I just gave them an adult dog and went on with it, but the house it happened in was completely unfurnished except a phone, no recolors used and they had only lived there for about 10 minutes (I was creating memories for a real-life family recreation), so there wasn't anything fishy about the lot or family. And I have all EPs and Stuff Packs (thanks MIRC---$20 for a stuff pack ain't worth it).

Ok, thanks for the info. I've been testing my original suspect and it doesn't seem to be the cause, although I'm sure I'm in the right area of the code. Still on the hunt though.

Adult dogs right out of CAS are also turning elder immediately upon being adopted. So it may just be a percentage that age into the next age category type of thing, rather than only affecting elders ... Just a thought.
miros:
That would be silly -- when you adopt an Infant, Toddler or Child, they're always at the bottom of their age range.

Not just dogs. When it happened to me, it was with an adult cat created in CAP. My first, as it happens. All the pets I've created in CAP since then have been fine. I wonder if it's a question of something not being initialized properly, if you create the pet before you randomize in CAS for the first time, or something like that. Has anybody seen this problem with pets that were NOT the very first one created in CAP?
I made an attempt to turn my kitty into an actual elder, but it didn't work. Playing around with the tombstone of L&D, I managed somehow to turn her into a kitten (that also showed 1 day left in the lifestage). The weird thing is, the cat started out as a tabby (sort of orange-colored) and at the kitten stage she was all black. At that point I decided to let the pet adoption service take her.
