Me, too. Providing the dog wasn't suffering yet and got along with mine and the disease wasn't contagious, I'd keep the dog until it started to show signs of pain and then put it down.

I also like senior dogs. I didn't used to be such a fan, but after a few years with new puppies in the house I have to say I have a lot of love for old dogs who are calmed down and trained! I figure when I get too old to deal with energetic young dog nonsense and old enough that I know I might die before a young dog, I will adopt seniors and we'll be crotchety old farts together.

Best dog I've ever had was a senior dog. I had her for 4 years. Her owner passed away when she was 10 and we kind of inherited her. (The womans family didn't want the dog and before she died she asked my mother to take her. Dog ended up becoming mine) I had her from the time she was 10 until she died at age 14. Despite being older she was a very healthy dog up until the weeks before her death.
