Reader Stories: Senior Pets - Older dogs and cats have lots of love to share

Senior pets have a special place in my heart. While they often take lots of time and extra care to accommodate for the changes seen in old age, they still give their all to their human family members. The stories of adoptable seniors are usually heartbreaking - an owner dies or is too ill or elderly to care for the pet, the family moves, and so on. Adopting a senior pet is a selfless act of caring, in my opinion.

Let's celebrate seniors. Share your stories and photos here. Your entry should spotlight your senior pet's life (current or in memory of) or why you chose to adopt a senior pet and how they add to your life.
