      Yup. My husband and I adopt older dogs from shelters to give them a good few last years. Right now we are taking a break and adopted younger dogs for my son, but as soon as they cross the rainbow bridge, we are back to grey muzzles.

        I love older dogs. I used to foster seniors (one of whom my parents adopted), and we adopted my current dog at a very youthful 6. She’s 9 now and a total butt. I love her to pieces. We’ve also had really good luck - all but one of my dogs has lived to 15+. If my dog wasn’t so hostile, I’d happily have another one but she’s not a fan.
