I have a Shih-tzu/Bichon that's about 17 now. She's missing most of her teeth, and has trouble with stairs, but still curious, excitable and ready to cuddle anyone who's willing. People walk past the house and think she's a puppy because they see her running to meet them.
Don't let a number like age worry you too much. Dogs would always prefer more time with their owners, but I don't think having some peace and quiet to lounge around while you're at work is doing any harm. He'd much rather have you for a few hours at night, than be left with strangers.
Best of luck to both of you!
I have a 15 year old (will turn 16 in November ) Shih Tzu who naps a lot of the day, but speed walks during walks and zips down the hall and performs a donut at the end.
