This means that the speaker is feeling older than is natural for their age, which is stated as 31. Because dogs have shorter lives they are considered to age 7 times as fast as humans based on average lifespans. This gives the phrase 'dog years'. For example, my dog Fresno in my profile picture is 5 years old but in dog years that is equivalent to 35 in human years.
