Jack won't sit with me

I hope someone can cast some light on this please?

I met mt my partner 4 years ago & she has a jack (Bliss) who was 12 at the time. Everything was fine & Bliss soon associated me with throwing her ball, as soon as I walked in the house she would drop the ball at my feet.

As she got older, her desire to play ball has stopped & then last summer she stopped even wanting to be on the settee with me. She will sit on the settee with my partner but as soon as I come in the room & sit down, she ju,ps down, comes in the kitchen & sits there on her own all night.

I've never been cruel to her & it's upsetting that at almost 16, she's spending her twilight years as a recluse in the kitchen.

My partners colleague mentioned yesterday that she thought her jack was going senile as he has started refusing to sit on the settee with her & her husband.
