At 11 1/2 he qualifies as a "senior", but I wouldn't necessarily say that makes him "old". There are plenty of active, healthy labradors of that age :) Here's hoping you have many more years together.

My old girl was going strong till age 14 and did not seem old to me either, until 6 months later when kidney failure started and arthritis started kicking in.

She lived to 16.

Hoping you have many years ahead for the two of you. I do suggest supplementing senior dogs (naturally) for joints to help with arthritis (as it is pretty much inevitable that an old do will get some) and keep it in check. Better to do this before it starts to get bad.
