They are precious and we have so little time with them!Charlie here is going to be 11 next month. Still healthy, but not as young as he thinks he is, lol.
When we first got Dakota, the first couple weeks he would bark to go outside to potty around 2-3am, I would go downstairs, get him out of the crate and outside. When we came back in, he would not go back to sleep so I would play with him to tire him out and he would crawl up on my chest and fall asleep. I would have to carefully move him to his crate so I could get ready for work.
Dakota was just over 12 years and still acted like a puppy, albeit slower, when he passed. It was unexpected and happened within 1-1/2 hours.
He woke up fine, went outside to do his business, came back in for breakfast. He went to the living room and laid down as usual, I was vacuuming, and he wouldn't move out of the way. He just looked at me, tried to get up but couldn't. Tried to pick him up and he went pee on the carpet which he never did then poo when we set him down to go outside. He would not move, I picked him back up to go outside and he just laid down. I brought him back in and noticed his lips were barely pink, I rushed him to the emergency vet right then and there.
When I got him out of the car he knew where he was, he liked the vet, and immediately perked up. Got him inside and seen immediately, he was bleeding out internally from a sarcoma. We were taken back to his room, he laid his head on my chest, and passed.
Apologies for rambling.
