Senior Citizens

I'm not sure of the age limits here, but here are recent photos of Tibby (age 7)

And Wallis (age 12) - you can see her poor small eye.

Oh the little darlings. I have such a soft spot for the seniors. Something in my heart always gets tugged when I see them. They are so precious with their years of love & loyalty.

I do have a soft spot for any senior dog. A puppy gets a lot of attention and it shows when they wiggle about when you meet one. But a senior has this glint in their eye when they get unexpected attention. I always notice that - I swear it adds another yr back in their life!

Here's my 14.5 year old boy Charlie.

I've moved this to be our first post in the new Golden Oldies gallery!

Charlie is just a darling - there is something so special about the oldies - the "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" look - but still enjoy their cuddles, walkies and of course, FOOD

Tibby and Wallis are lovely - poor Wallis' eye, she is so brave.

Here are my Oldies:

Kyla was 7 earlier this month - she's a retired breeding/show dog, who came to live with us last September. She's rather enjoying her retirement, lots of cuddles and walkies, and is very gentle and sweet with Rupert.

and this is Rupert, he is 10 years 8 months, and the naughtiest of the lot!!! He's had his moments healthwise, but we are very fortunate in that he is still heart clear.

Rupert's 8th birthday party {he was poorly earlier that year and we didn't think we'd get to celebrate that birthday with him...let alone 2 more since

}

Thanks for putting up this forum. I have a special place in my heart for the seniors, especially Cavs with all their health problems. It is amazing to see so many. It is a tribute to you owners who have taken such good care of and loved these dogs so they could see such a long life.

All of the pictures are beautiful! I just pray that I will be able to put Lily's picture here one day and perhaps future Cavs.

The second picture of Rubert LOOKS LIKE HE IS SMILING. I am always glad to hear post about older cav's It gives us owners a lot of hope our dogs will live a long life.
