Me: “The month of August has been set aside to honor and appreciate our Aging Pets. Did you know that a dog is usually considered a senior when they reach their seventh birthday?”
Bentley: “Now just hold on a dadburn minute. I happen to be seven years old and I don’t consider myself a senior. I am in great shape!”
Me: “I know. I couldn’t agree with you more. You are at the perfect weight, we exercise each day and you eat super healthy food.”
Bentley: “It seems to me that if sixty can be the new forty in humans, why can’t seven be the new four in dogs? There have been huge strides in veterinary medicine. People are taking better care of their pets and dogs’ lifespans are increasing.”
