13 Reasons We Absolutely Love Senior Dogs

There is just something special about those golden years. In truth, the following 13 reasons are just a few of the innumerable reasons why senior dogs are the best.
(1) Soulful eyes
There is nothing more powerful than the soulful eyes of a senior dog. If only we could read their minds – the stories they could tell!
(2) Well-mannered
Senior dogs are all trained, making them great roommates.
(3) Great babysitters
A senior dog can really help raise a puppy, teaching him “doggie manners”!
(4) Full of wisdom
They’ve been around the block and they know the rules. With ages comes wisdom after all.

(5) Deep sleepers
Every little sound seems to wake up puppies, who then wanted to play, go outside or just bark for no reason (funny during the day, annoying at night). Seniors will sleep through most things, allowing you to get more rest.
(6) Can appreciate quiet moments
While a puppy wants to bark at the seagulls, chase the waves or forage for food left on the beach, a senior dog has no problem sitting with you or going for a stroll, all while quietly taking in the surroundings; watching the action, sniffing the breeze and just enjoying being alive.
(7) Patient
A senior dog will wait patiently for cuddle-time while you finish your work.
(8) Loyal
As a dog ages, their loyalty seems to increase. Senior dogs will stay with you no matter what comes your way.
(9) Lots of personality
Senior dogs may have less energy and be a bit slow at moving, but they have LOTS of personality.
(10) Distinguished looks
A dog with a touch of silver in their hair is as distinguished as any gentlemen.
(11) Love snuggling
Senior dogs are supreme snugglers and won’t mind sleeping in with you.
(12) Appreciative
Senior dogs are appreciate of any bit of love you will give them.
(13) Perfect companion for later in life
As we start slowing down, keeping up with a young dog can be hard. Senior dogs are perfect companions as we become seniors ourselves.
