You're talking about 98 human years here. Fourteen is a good age for a dog, including a Westy and some will age quicker than others, depending on their diet, regular health inspections and of course, the attitude of the owner(s). It is not uncommon for some dogs of this age to develop cataracts, causing blindness, or having deafness - in exactly the same way this happens to some elderly humans be certain that apparent blindness or deafness is not being caused by an infection, make sure your pet is examined by a qualified vet. If blindness occurs, your pet can still live a full life and will soon get used to the placement of the furniture. Outdoors, he or she will depend on you a lot and you should be prepared to spend time. Many years ago, my 12 year old poodle went blind, but enjoyed the next four years he lived. He knew us and where he was by smell and as long as we did not move furniture, he walked around inside with great confidence. He still enjoyed his walks on a leash and his car rides. His house training remained great and he always let us know when he wanted to go outside and, of course, we went with him.
