Thank you Amy for doing a Senior illustration especially because the dog you drew looks just like my Heidi a Pomeranian who will soon be a 10 years old. Senior dogs are my favorites with all the character and wisdom you can see in their eyes I can’t help but fall in love with them. Thanks, again.

So true! Senior dogs do not need to be house trained. They love comfort…whether it is an extra soft, but supportive, doggie bed, a lap or just being by your feet or side. And most of all…….they want “to be loved” more than anything. We lost our big terrier a couple of months ago and because he was 30 plus pounds, I realized I can no longer lift a dog from a tub to a grooming table (I groom my own dogs). So we have two rescues…one is a senior and the other little guy is part Silky terrier/Australian Terrier and full of life. He is about seven. He recently passed his therapy dog test so he will have a “job”. Ohhhhhh and most importantly….this little guy does not have any eyes. They had to be removed due to ulceration. Dogs “adjust” much easier to a “handicap” than humans. He runs in his big backyard; he jumps up in our laps. He is full of life and love for laps.

Love this so much!!

How precious..
