Caring for a Senior Dog

Elderly Dogs Need Time.

Elderly dog, my border collie, gets some pets on the ear, old dogs deserve so much respect, patinece and dignity.

Once upon a time, many years ago, the silver faced, slow moving senior dog with a few aches and pains was once a vibrant puppy. Chewing personal items, pooping in the house and discovering the beautiful fragrance of socks and underwear. Thinking back to those puppy days brings out the best stories and the belly laughter roar. Remember when you were woken up on a Saturday morning by the antagonistic little demon lol. Oh, the memories, how not so long ago that was.

Those wild days of chasing the puppy have been long behind you. Your life has changed over the years and your dog has been with you through breakups, moving, road trips, dinner parties and many outings to the park. Accompanying you to a café to meet up with friends, attending Christmas with your sidekick beside you. These moments in time have a cost and the heartfelt moments of rushing your beloved dog to the vet, the worry and concern is real. You have been a good sidekick to your puppy, your dog and now your old, wise, senior dog. So, what next?
