2) Just because a dog is an old, arthritic, with rotten teeth, heartworm, and stinky-breathed stray it doesn't mean he won't be affectionate or bond with you like a puppy. Gris-Gris follows me pretty much everywhere with a goofy grin on his face and when he, Eva, and I are on the couch together he is the one plastered against me.
The scariest thing for me is knowing he won't be able to stay with me as long as a younger dog, so I thank him every day for coming to live with me. Which brings me to number 3.
3) Just because a dog is an old, arthritic, with rotten teeth, heartworm, and stinky-breathed stray it doesn't mean he won't be a positive addition to your family. Rescuing a dog in need is by far a more rewarding experience than raising a cute cuddlebug of a puppy, in my opinion because you are truly saving a life.
If you are thinking about adopting a dog, consider one of our aged frogs. We've got half a dozen or so that are soft and worn around the edges and make very comfy armrests in the evening.
Gris-Gris also does his person the favor of enjoying sno-cones, so she has an excuse for indulging as well. Here he is with his Sponge-Bob Squarepants Sno-Cone maker. Chicken flavor for Gris-Gris, mint julep flavor for his mom! Mmm, an apple-cider sno-cone would hit the spot right about now, dreams

Well said. Senior pets are great pets.
Very, very true! We can't describe the joy our elderly Banks brought to us in his short time with us!
I would add that just because a dog is an old, one-eyed, arthritic, with rotten teeth and stinky-breathed stray doesn't mean she won't bring lots of love and teach you more than you would have dreamed in her short time with you! So rewarding to adopt the older ones. They have secrets to teach us!
