5. We have a rescue mutt who is at least 16 years old

and probably older. She is mostly deaf and is blind in one eye and has limited sight in the other eye. We have a small house on one floor and she gets around pretty well. She doesn't appear to be in any pain, and eats well. the blind eye is somewhat swollen from pressure that we are controlling with eye drops. I just took her to the vet today to check the pressure and it was near normal. The eye drops are inexpensive and the vet said to continue them until she passes away. She has to be lifted on and off the couch, but can still navigate the steps up to the bed.

We love her very nuch and will surely miss her when she's gone.
