November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and I encourage you to
consider doing just that. At a tad over 60 years of age myself I could be
considered a Senior and am here to tell you that on the inside I am not a day
over 35. And with makeup and the right lighting I hardly look a day over 50!
The same can be said of our senior canines as well. In their hearts they are still young and many
still act as young as they feel on the inside. My Diva, who is over 50 in dog
years, leaps up every morning and runs for a toy to throw in the air. She may
have some gray on her muzzle but in her heart she is a puppy and she acts
accordingly ( except for the chewing and the “accidents”). At the moment Safe
Place has two such wonderful dogs. Heidi is a 9 year-old Dachshund and Oliver
an 8 year-old Cocker Spaniel. Whenever you are ready to add an animal companion
to your home, please consider a senior pet.
