We've had our Westie for three months, almost exactly. Our sheriff's office patrol boat picked her up, swimming in the river that goes through town. She was at our shelter for two weeks or so and no one claimed her, so I adopted her.
The shelter estimated her at 7 years old -- my vet correctly put her at 10-12. She has heart problems, skin problems, joint problems...aaand she's deaf, LOL. In the three months that she's been here, she's been the sweetest, most loving girl. I know that she's had the best few months here, eating 'til she's full, sleeping on memory foam beds, getting snuggles and love. When she chooses to go to the bridge, I'll help her go in a dignified matter.
I know that this isn't the exact same situation, but I almost said Tiki was 'too old' - and man, what I would have missed.
