I didn't call you a troll. I called your post trolly.

Whether it was intended or not, the goal of it seemed to be to offend, or start an argument. That just isn't cool, especially when the thread is regarding an ill, elderly dog, whose owner (whom I happen to consider a friend) is simply seeking some comfort.

"But when comments like Age = Well Cared for keep perpetuating it tends to make the people who lose animals young feel guilty as if somehow they are at fault for losing their animal which is not always true."

I can't even follow this logic. Saying that a dog who reaches 14 years has lived a long, full life... is going to make people who lost their dogs at a young age feel guilty? Ummm, ok.
