Reply to comment by RatRob in 22-year-old rescue pup is crowned the oldest living dog on Earth by Guinness World Records by spiritoffff

Agreed. My childhood shi'tzu broke 21 as well, I don't feel like she was in amazing condition her whole life.

My dog is 16 and we are probably putting her down next week. She’s blind, deaf and has incontinence and it feels like she’s 2/3 years overdue. I can’t imagine another 5 years of her. At a certain point keeping them alive feels meaner than putting them to rest.

Yeah I should add that my dog was fine until a few weeks before the end. She did go blind for years but still was playing until her last month.

We didn't keep her in suffering.

Edit also I'm sorry for your puppers.
