I kind of throw some "rules" out the window a bit when they get to senior status and pamper her a bit more .

That's what I did too. I'd go buy her rotissari chicken and shread it up and even let her have some skin & a little fat. Cook her some hamburger or roast. She lived 3 months short of 18 years. She was fairly energetic until the last year or so when she really started going downhill. I didn't realize how bad she looked until looking at pictures several months later. Love is blind I guess. One morning she started having a hard time breathing, had a seizure & was probably in pain so I let her be put down later that day.
Make to sure to give your senior lots of love & special attention. Just getting to be near you (without the puppy) is great to them.
