Make a list of the memories you want to make with your aging dogs and start. They don’t need to be grand but they must be senior dog appropriate.

Last year for my birthday we had a professional photoshoot with the dogs which I can’t recommend enough 🫶

This year we did a road trip to Sydney and back which had been on my list of memories I wanted to create since we adopted the girls. It wasn’t so much about Sydney but spending time in with the dogs away from normal routine (where we didn’t need to cook, clean or do laundry) We didn’t do cafes and bars or busy high streets…but instead enjoyed nice leisurely walks through backstreets and parks. We relaxed in the hotel room, we got room service and takeaway, stopped at beach side towns for sniff breaks and simply spent quality time with them.

Having these memories in my mind will ease my heart one day.
No regrets.

Timing matter…

I often see situations where adding a puppy or adult dog wasn’t the right call, at least, not at that moment.

Sometimes it’s better to bring a puppy in earlier, while your senior is still in good shape and able to enjoy the company. Other times, it’s kinder to wait until after your senior has passed.

Too often, puppies arrive when senior dogs are already struggling…less tolerant, less mobile, less comfortable. Suddenly their safe space no longer feels like home.

Many people hope a puppy will rekindle the old spark in their senior, imagining a sweet mentorship where the older dog teaches the pup and they curl up together at night. While this does happen, just as often the senior suffers if both ends of the age spectrum aren’t carefully managed.

Timing plays a big role in the success of the relationship.

The missing piece in so many car comfort training plans is consent.

If you want to reduce fear, anxiety and stress you have to provide agency with how your dog gets in the car.
