I don’t think of my senior like well worn slippers. We are seniors together, although I am much more worn at my age of 71. My yorkipoo Kissy Girl turned 16 this year and she needs medication because of her arthritic knees, but she is also losing her hearing, eyesight plus has developed some dementia. I think if us as growing old together at times and worry if she will be alive the next time I come home from an appointment. I was hospitalized this year and that fear was on my mind the entire stay. She still gets very excited after I brush her, but not so much while I brush her. She sleeps 80% of the time and paces 5% and lays on my lap 5%, leaving me 10% to groom her. I adopted a chihuahua mix, I named Peanut, from my local shelter that turned 7 this year. So now I have 2 senior dogs and it brought out a jealous streak in both Kissy Girl and Peanut.
