This marvelous fellow is 14 year old Felipe, a chihuahua mix who got a little punk rocker haircut today and was a rockstar for the whole thing.

Some of you know I dabble in jewelry making. I’ve recently started working on cremation pieces to honor the pets we’ve lost. This is my first attempt, with Groot’s ashes. Groot was the tiny feisty little dog who was my therapy… if I had a sad or tough day, her sparkly spirit always cheered me up. Her antics made me laugh out loud, and her one sided kisses made me smile and know everything was going to be fine. Without her by my side I felt ungrounded. This necklace has given me comfort to make it through difficult days, and I feel lost when I don’t wear it, just as I felt lost when we said goodbye to Groot. I chose glittery white opal flakes for the sparkle of her personality and a teardrop shape to remind me of her floppy wild ears. If you have any interest in a piece like this reach out and if I can help I will be happy to.

This beautiful girl is Lily. I’ve been seeing her for 3 years and she’s now 16. Trust me, she gets sweeter and sweeter with age. She lives with an old injury in one of her hind legs but has never let it stop her. She loves to eat chicken while I’m grooming her and will absolutely snarf down the whole bowl if you turn your head for a moment. I love her spirit and I’m lucky to count her as one of my GW family members!

Happy Halloween! Liza wants to show off her adorable little bow for the holiday and tell everyone to be safe out there! Halloween is a lot for some elderly dogs. Keep them safe tonight if your dog is scared of loud noises, the doorbell or little ones in costumes. Other dogs love the attention, so do what’s right for your dog today and have fun!

Meet 18 yr old shihpoo Lulu. We had to groom as quickly as possible - she tried to stand on her wobbly legs the whole time & be the best girl

Sweet Boo from the backside. Going to the wrong side of the door is a common sign of confusion in elderly dogs. Boo does really well overall, but things are definitely changing for her as she ages. Boo’s mom sent this photo after last week’s newsletter dropped. I got a lot of comments about this one, which means we need to be talking more about these things! Dementia is tough to navigate, and is often harder on the caregiver than the pet. To read the dementia issue now, click the link in bio or sign up for the newsletter at greywhiskersdigest.dog

Those of you who saw Ziggy’s last post will appreciate hearing that I saw him again, and he now has his forever home! This sweet boy is going to be staying with his foster family in their wonderful, loving home for his retirement. He won’t have another day of struggle in his life…. It’s all the good things for Ziggy from now on. ❤️🥰 congratulations Ziggy!

This sweet little pup is Piper. She just turned 16, but she looks like she’s 6! She’s a poodle mix, maybe with cairn, according to what her family was told. After her groom, she was finished, she was so happy and bouncy it was hard to get a good pic, but bribery always helps. 👍🏻

Caught just before she took a nap, our own Uma gets acupuncture regularly now (thank you Wellshire Animal Hospital) She’s 13, and has some back end issues, like many senior dogs. She always loves talking walks, but for a while she was only able to go a few blocks before her nails started dragging and she slowed way down. With acupuncture we have seen a huge improvement, and now she’s asking to walk about 2 miles per day. For old pups, it’s better to do 2-3 shorter walks per day vs one long one, so that’s what we do. I can’t advocate enough for complementary therapies for senior dogs. Things like acupuncture, massage and rehab can give them back so much youth and energy!

This little old lady is Darby, a 15 yr old dachshund who hasn’t been professionally groomed since her human adopted her. We don’t know her background at all, but she is one lucky girl now, because she is living the good life with a wonderful person. We weren’t sure what to expect of her for grooming, but she was fantastic. She started off a bit nervous, but as we got to know each other, she relaxed, and when she was finished, she even stayed around me! That’s always a good sign. I love working with pups like this, it’s so rewarding.

When you’re 15, sometimes you celebrate a nice groom by recuperating as soon as you can. Tiny but feisty Ms Snickers did just that after a few celebratory romps around the house. By the time I turned around to get her photos, this is all I could get. 😂 she’ll wake up with a lot more energy after a good solid nap. Enjoy the 💤 Snickers! You earned it!!

Meet D**k! If he was a cartoon his people say he’d be Dennis the Menace, because this guy was always getting into trouble when he was younger. He’s 11 now, so these days he is totally mature. 😂 D**k is Loki’s younger brother. He was really happy to have someone come over just to see him! Usually people who come to see the dogs are there to help Loki, but this time the spotlight was all on D**k and he liked it. He’s such a good, sweet boy. ❤️

In this extremely hot weather, unless you can literally put your dog on ice, as very cleverly does 😆please either get them out early in the morning or leave your pups at home! At the fantastic today we saw dogs wearing shoes to protect paws from hot pavement (yay!!), and lots of dogs congregated around misters. They all looked great but it was early… before that devilish Colorado sun came out in full force. Have a great weekend and stay cool out there!

Ok, please forgive my terrible editing. I figure the point is cute pics, right? So keep that in mind because I really want you to meet Loki, who has the cutest puppy sit ever. He’s a 12 year old sheltie who’s had a spinal injury… sort of like a stroke in the spine. He’s getting PT and acupuncture and is much better since it happened in May. I gave him his haircut at home today and he was able to relax the whole time. He chose to pose so that the camera was facing the sun, hence the terrible editing. But he still took cute pics, so here you are. Everyone say hi to Loki, and wish him luck on his recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Ziggy has been through a lot in the last few years. His most recent owner (who rescued him 2 years ago) passed. The owner before that passed too. Poor Ziggy found himself at animal control AGAIN at the age of somewhere around 11. Just recently he was rescued by a family member who has been tending to his most immediate needs. He’s getting a full dental tomorrow, but today was all about the haircut. He was matted and a bit sensitive about being handled. That’s not surprising considering his last few years. Instead of making him put up with a haircut focused on perfection, we just got him as cute as we could, as quickly as possible. Lots of breaks and snacks helped. And with those amazing flying ears, he’s absolutely perfect now. What a good boy he was to put up with me, and I was so happy to help him!

I saw 14 year old Burly for 2 years before he recently moved away. I miss him, but I’m so happy to see he’s living the good life in his new place. Here he is with a little brain puzzle to solve… so much fun and so good for him! Go Burly! #denverseniordogs #greywhiskerspet #seniordoggrooming

Happy New Year! Radar, who’s closing in on 19, would like you all to make a resolution to provide some mental stimulation for your old dogs. He wants to be sure they all stay as sharp as he is 😜. #greywhiskerspet #denverseniordogs #seniordoggrooming

Lucy is 17 but that doesn’t stop her from zoomin’ after a groomin’. She’s such a happy little girl, and she’s really excited to show off her new haircut! PS, check out that corner rug… pretty amazing, right? #greywhiskerspet #denverseniordogs #seniordoggrooming

Rags to Riches: (volume all the way up) From fending for himself on the streets of Denver in wintertime… to sleeping blissfully, peacefully, safely on a pillow by our sides in a cozy home with people who love and spoil him, Radar seems to know he’s finally got it made. It makes me happy to watch him settle in and live the good life. It’s proof that no dog is worth giving up on just because he’s old. Adopted at 16 so that he wouldn’t be euthanized, Radar is healthy and has a great quality of life! He loves to take walks, bark at people walking by, eat snacks, sleep in the coziest spot he can find, and give kisses. His motto is “chomp first taste later” because he never wants to turn down a treat opportunity. Everyone should experience senior pet adoptions at least once! But I may be biased. 😂🐶 #greywhiskerspet #denverseniordogs

My dear doggie friend Red. He’s 14 and has heart problems and some pain in his joints, but that doesn’t stop him from being a champion frisbee and ball chaser. He may not be as quick as he used to be, but his energy and enthusiasm cannot be matched! Go Red!!! ♥️♥️ #greywhiskerspet #denverseniordogs

What’s the fun of a snow day if you and your dog aren’t out making snow angels in it??? 🤣 never mind the fact that we had to shovel the back yard bec the snow is almost deeper than the dog is tall. ❄️❄️❄️ #greywhiskerspet #denverseniordogs
