Happy Birthday! Against All Odds, "Poochini The Wonder Dog" Turns 16

PrintThough the best title for his biography is fast becoming "Puddles & Piles" (because apparently after 15 years a dog spontaneously decides that the whole world, not just the backyard, is his personal bathroom), and though he is increasingly blind, mostly deaf, and has always been quite dumb, Poochini has, nonetheless, survived cliffs, buses, and raccoons well enough to make it to his "sweet 16" -- at least by our best estimates.
Told by the vet when we got him that he he was "about 1.25 years old based on his dental records," we assigned Poochini a birth date of October 5th, 1995, with the exact date chosen because it matched that of my grandmother -- who would be 118 today if she were in slightly better health.
Three days ago, Poochini looked like this.
Awwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's a pooch?

Happy Birthday, Poochini!
I had no idea you were so wise a dog!
AN Tailgate = Euphemism for food porn.
Well, he often pees and he's stupid,
so I guess that’s…whiz-dumb.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Happy birthday sweet doggie!
I’m eating this piece of chicken, but thinking of you! ;-)

Happy Birthday, Poochini!
Long live all of our furry friends. They give us much more comfort than we can ever repay them.

Happy BDay Poochini!
2 questions Nico:
(1) What is his birthday meal?
(2)Any tips for an old dog that pees and poops inside the house? My old dog has taken a recent turn for the worse and looking for any pointers you can give me? Unfortunately most of my house is carpeted…Thanks

Best answers I have:
1. Dogfood! (With some special lamb pieces from a Salvadoran restaurant added).
2. Kill the animal and yourself (only in your mind, of course).

My best friend has an incontinent Pug
He bought her a couple of pairs of something called (not making this up) “Tinkle Trousers”. Sorta like a doggy sweater, but with (I’m guessing) waterproof nylon. He cuts a disposable diaper to size, tucks it in the appropriate spot, and latches ‘em up. It’s not a perfect solution by any means; poop tends to fall out the back. “Let me call you back, dude. Perci’s nuggeting.” It does seem to be a vast improvement, however.

I can't find it on the map
Mostly because Poochini peed on most of the southeast.

Happy Birthday, Poochini
Awesome Nico!!!
16 is great and he looks happy and content.
DID YOU LIE TO HIM AND TELL HIM THE A’S HAVE BEEN WINNING THESE LAST 5 YEARS?
Yes. He replied, "What's for dinner?"

Adorable.
My family’s dog is approaching 16 years old as well. I hope she makes it — she has many of the same old-dog problems as Poochini. But she still wants to eat whatever it is we have for dinner. If the people are eating it, it must be good! (Exceptions: lettuce, spinach, grapes)
That sounds just like Poochini, only he also likes lettuce, spinach, and grapes.
