Today my old dog heart is heavy for my buddy Brett and his senior sweetheart Beagle Lilly.

RIP dear Lilly. At 15 years you are an inspiration to me. I only met you through the smells on Brett but I can tell we would've been friends.

I know I benefited from you because your Brett shared your food experiences with my female. Thank you for giving fearlessly and influencing positively so many, especially your pack.

See you at the bridge.

Love,

Give Fearlessly. Influence Positively.

It's week two of celebrating fabulous senior dogs! In case you missed last week, we decided 2013 would be a great year to offer you a cute photo of me every week.

 

 

Email us or leave us a comment if you like what you see, or have requests. I'm very photogenic and would be happy to pose.

The upside to being an old dog? Massage. My pack helps me limber up in the morning, and settle in for the night, with a nice massage. It helps my joints and soothes my muscles.  

Here I am...can you tell if this is a before or after shot?

Savoring a dog treat. Chewing your meal thoroughly with what few teeth you have -- these are all good ideas for us seniors. As we get older, a pearl (or liver treat) of wisdom I've learned, is to take my time.

I enjoy my walks more [...]

Do you ever find yourself napping, or just lying about enjoying the moment, and then get the urge to scratch? A nice solid three minute scratch.
