18 is a long time for a dog. So far, my longest living PD was almost 13 and that's kinda long but there's some that lives longer in captivity. What seems to hurt more (at least for me) is when they only make it 5 or 6. Lost one to cancer a couple of years ago and she was very loving and it wasn't easy. She was almost 6....My sons dog died Sunday. Her kidneys have been failing some time now and Saturday he took her to the vet. It was time. She just celebrated her 18th birthday on Friday.
We babysat that dog often and she was a good companion to my wife.
Needless to say my wife was in tears.
