    Beautiful poem. Thank you for posting it.
    I've Been Boo'd

    I've been Frosted






    Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.

    Very nice poem. I like older animals best. They are calm and wise, and have the cutest old-lady or old-man attitudes.
    "There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion."

    Not only do the older dogs need help, but the ones with illnesses, black ones, discriminated breeds, ones with physical deformities, etc. It's so sad

    That was beautiful brought me too tears,It is a good point,All dogs need a home,regardless what there ages are,It is terrible how the older generation mostly die in these shelters,Not even having a chance,It breaks my heart.

    Adopting an older dog was one of the best experiences of my life. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

    that was beautiful. I love the seniors and they pull on my heart strings. I hope to adopt a senior for my next dog which will probably be years from now.
