| happy belated bday Mickey! 13, wow that is so great to hear. I have no idea but I knew a lady who I worked with and her yorkie lived to be 15 yrs old, he unfortunately passed after having some teeth pulled at the vets. She said before that she never brought him in for vet checks and he lived a happy healthy live without any problems until the teeth pulling I wish mickey many more happy and healthy years! |

| DJ was around 7 1/2 and Harley D around 13. Both died last Jan of kidney diseases (see my pics). Being rescues we did not have a good birth date just estimates from the rescue groups and their vets. Zack and Zeke just "turned" 3 and 2 yrs, again rescues. I am hoping that they will be around a long time despite Zeke being a "garbage gut" and eating things that are not in his best interest.

omg thats sooo scary BECAUSE! mickey got some teeth pulled out this summer and after it was bleeding he got xrays done and it was just a small infection. and they told him that he needed a surgery but my mom thought it was sketchy and wanted a second opinion if the antibiotics didn't work. but luckily it did and he stopped bleeding 2 days after the antibiotics it was sooo scary i hope mickey doesn't fall into that too | |

| Mine are still young but my poppa's yorkie had a great life until about 13. They put him to sleep later in his 13th year, his quality of life was fading fast. RIP sweet Scooter- we miss you!

| Happy B'day! My vet says they will live 15+ years as long as they get plenty of activity and eat healthy. I have heard a lot of people say older Yorkies have issues after teeth cleaning. I think it's bad to put them under at that age.

| Well Happy B'day Guy! Don't dwell on his age too much Toys in general live longer than most dogs If he's made it this far without many health issues he probably will go on for many more Enjoy him while he's here No, he won't last forever but just remember that it's our job to make their lives as fun filled and pain free as possible I had a dog last a full 18 years and up until the last year he really Never had a serious health issue

| Well a BIG BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE YORKSTER BOY! I think these guys live to be upward of 18 or 19 if they don't have serious health problems.
