It's a sensitive thing, and most dog owners I've known prefer to make the judgement call themselves and not have an outsider trying to decide for them.
Here's what's wrong with him...
Hind legs a bit stiff, so he walks a bit funny but can still walk, still loves to walk around the park with me.
Eyesight --- I test him now and again, by walking away from him at night while he's busy sniffing a tree or bush, he always spots me and comes after me. He can still spot other dogs as far away as 100 yards, by sight.
Smell -- his sniffer seems to work quite well. He certainly hasn't stopped sniffing everything in sight when outside, and when I'm frying up some bacon in the kitchen he knows it, even being in the basement.
His right eye --- is a bit weepy sometimes. I take a warm wet washcloth and clean the goo out of it and he's fine.
That's about it. I make sure to take him out quite often so he rarely poops in the house anymore, he's been very good lately I must say.
