Imagine your life with a senior dog
Having a senior dog now is wonderful. When we adopted her she was a playfully sweet and sassy adult. Now that she is quite elderly, our dog is still sassy but cuter than ever. Her mannerisms can mimic a puppy, from making a big mess around her food bowl to falling asleep in a millisecond. I don't know why some people are so quick to surrender their older dog, or if thinking about dog adoption, don't consider the senior sweethearts at their local rescue.
When we adopted our dog, I couldn't imagine what life would be like once she moved into her golden years.
Fortunately I can say now that you don't need the best imagination, just a big heart, to enjoy life with an older dog. November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month. I love my elderly dog and our life together. If you have never experience life with an older dog, now is the time to consider it. Here are five of my favorite ways senior dogs rule:
