How to Make Your Senior Pet’s Needs a Priority

They’ve provided you with so much joy, and now it’s time to give your older dog or cat the love and attention they deserve during their golden years. It won’t be easy.

Missing Ollie and Casper

Before my human sister Stephanie had her current doggies Toby and Oscar she had a couple terrier type doggies that I remember from my puppy days.   There was Ollie the Cairn Terrier and Casper the Westie.

Even though they were grown up doggies to me in my puppy days I still tried to play with them.  In general they tolerated my antics, occasionally grumbling a bit  now and then if I got carried away.

But they were cool guys who were always happy to see us when we’d come visit.  They loved Mommy and Daddy.

Ollie went to Doggie Heaven a while ago and then not to long ago Casper joined him.   They currently rest in a shady wooded area  just off their old back yard.  When we visit my Daddy sometimes takes me up to visit where they lay.

We miss you Ollie and Casper.   Someday we’ll visit again at the Rainbow Bridge where you and all the other family doggies will be waiting for us.
