In prior blogs I have been at a loss for words about the love you get from adopting older dogs. This is Ruby who is 12-13 years old according to the shelter we adopted her from. She is deaf and has some arthritis problems but I believe this photo is a clear example of what it means to adopt senior dogs. She looks at us many times a day with this look of admiration and love. When she is laying on the bed sleeping she will about every 30 minutes suddenly raise her head and look to make sure we are still here. This photo encapsulates the reason we adopt senior dogs and what they do in return for us.

Ruby is precious...and clearly very thankful for the happy home you provide. May she have many more wonderful years with you. Kudos to you for choosing senior dogs to join your family in their golden years!!
Now that I am a senior, in a senior apartment with no fenced yard, it is easier for me to care for senior cats. They need love, too.
