Seeing Fun Through Your Senior Pet’s Heart

At a certain point, it becomes about making the routine and mundane enjoyable and spontaneous. It's about how to make the typical seem new again and many aging animals may enter new spaces to denote entering a new stage in life. If a change has occured in their environments whether an animal sibling coming in or leaving or their person being less at home, shifts may happen that have them wanting a different action from you - an invitation to join in on the main family space or them silently asking you to join them in their new spot in the home.

Often senior dogs enjoy leading a walk because they get to follow their senses. For it’s how they listen, see, smell, and feel that leads them through life. Verbal communication is secondary.

When they get to be the compass and honor their pace - they're following their joy and it becomes a walk of exploring the clues around the neighborhood and the ultimate presence with you.

With our senior animal companions that are inner home beings, it can be following their lead as to where he or she wishes to be brushed. Going to be with them in the new room or space they have chosen versus depending on them coming to you.

The ultimate bonus is witnessing the joy and excitement on their faces and in their energy that tells the tale of just how much new types of engagement open the door to more thriving in their senior years.
