I was curious how old the average Yorkie lives? My sweet little boy is 16 and he is deaf and blind, but still seems happy and loving! He stumbles a bit but just senses his way around the house. I have to take him outside and watch him potty, but he seems to be good. I know he can't live much longer, but I was wondering what others have experienced. The only thing odd I have noticed is every time he drinks he drinks so much that he gags and throws up the water. Any thoughts?
