My dog is 16 years old. He is starting to have health problems.
Our dog is getting older and having issues.

I am so sorry to hear that. I know what that is like unfortunately.

Thanks. It is hard when they are a part of your family.
user
Yes definitely. My thoughts are with you, I hope he still has many years left.
assistant
Thanks again.  He is 16 and has lived a long life, so hopefully it won't be as hard as it feels.
