	Boston will be 13 in April. She's the easiest of all my pets. Well mannered, calm, sweet. Like many others said, what's not to love?

Pardon me? Sit?- I dont think- so....

	So many positive things to start with! My dog princess whos 10 years old loves to sleep....I love sleeping. When im sleeping, you can bet my dog is sleeping inbetween my legs to keep them warm or on my back when im sleeping on my stomach. We both snore A senior dog enjoys relaxing on the beach and wont go off running (running? -yawn- too much work) while you both lay down and relax, enjoying the smell of the ocean. a senior dog holds still for pictures! And they give the most wisest of expressions. Lets face it senior dogs are bomb, theyre what you need in this crazy time.

	I love senior animals of all species. The trust most of them (the four legged/furry and feathered ones at least) put into you once you've gained their trust can be really amazing. Some of the best bonds I've had have been with senior animals who came from formerly horrible situations. Their temperaments, prey drives (for most predatory species like dogs), and energy levels are already known. Often times they make great house companions and don't require a ton of exercise like younger more zealous animals will. Although one elderly guinea pig I had loved running around the house and got a cage larger than what's ideal for a pair (so he and his buddy had a cage 27" wide by 71" long instead of 27 x 56").
