It's something we don't like to face, our dogs getting older. And you know that look older dogs give you, especially when you've had them most of their life. It’s like they’re saying, “I’ve seen every version of you.” The late nights, the early mornings, the wins, the heartbreaks, the tough days, they've seen it all, they’ve been through it all with you. They’re always right there, quietly by your side, a steady and familiar presence giving you unconditional love.

As they get old, other than some attention and loving, they don’t need much from you. A comfy bed, a short stroll every now and then, and just spending time next to you on the couch. That’s it. That’s enough. Senior pets are like that, simple in their needs, but full of love.

That’s why I love photographing them.

Age catches up with all of them eventually. Some slow down. Some grow greyer or whiter in the muzzle, in their coat by the day. But there’s so much beauty in this season of their life.
