Our first Boston Terrier, Pepper, lived to 14-3/4. The last year+ she was deaf, nearly blind, partially incontinent, in addition to her longer-term health problems (seizures, hyperlipidemia, and hypothyroidism). We just bent down and gave her loving that way since she couldn't hear the verbal praise. She was a trooper and a happy girl up until almost the very end when she started having cluster seizures, and we finally had to put her down. All you can do is give them the best care and kindness for as long as they still have good quality of life. Enjoy her remaining time and know that you are giving her a wonderful home!
