I have a cat, Tessa, She was supposedly 15 when we adopted her, and now 13 years later they still guesstimate her age as 15. She costs me about $300 to $500 a month in meds and weigh ins and special diets. Worth every cent.
Old dog health is tricky, there's always the question of "is it time, or can we both still be happy together?" We have a sixteen-year-old Shih Tzu, hanging in there but clearly at the far end of the life expectancy curve. We had to put her mom down a few years ago, and we're not looking forward to this one's time.
We did get a new shih tzu puppy about a year after that, though. It's always good to have a backup dog. ;-)
