WOOF! BARK!! Here lately, more than a few times, my humans, the Veterinarian and someone else referred to me as a "senior" dog or that my food is a "senior" diet! Not sure I like these comments.... though I haven't growled or barked when I hear the word "senior" I wonder why they call me that! I mean, I still get along fine, I still run fine, I still like to play fetch, I still take my human for long walks, I still like going for car rides, I still play with my squeaky toys, so why call me "senior?" WOOF!!
My human must have caught my slight quandary of curiosity about the word so he says to me, "Basically Noah, it's about age- everyone ages and you reach a part of life where life where it signifies that- some have health issues as they age but not all... just depends on the person, or, er, dog!
Learning that sent me back out to chase a squirrel and a rabbit or two-
My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue brought by several of her canine senior friends for you to meet! She was so excited to introduce them to me, I am going to let her share with you too-
