We have one "senior", who is having some pretty tough health issues right now. I've described them in Dog Health.

Murphy is not snappy at all, thank goodness, unless someone (one of our other dogs) tries to steal her bone!!! She gets quite grumpy, then. She is not one to want to be brushed, touched a lot or examined the way I want to do it. But she loves a good head scratch and will sit there for a long, long time, as long as I'm scratching her precious cheeks.

She barks a lot, at nothing, mostly when a human is not in the room with her, and sometimes when they are! Usually, we interpret the barking when we are in the room as a "I'm Hungry" plea and we're usually right!! Ha Ha!!!! The barking and getting lost has increased over the last few months, and has been especially bad the last week or so. She had me up until midnight last night, barking at nothing. She and the others stay in the kitchen/den area, gated off. That's probably part of the problem. If she were in our room, she wouldn't do that. But we have had some wetting problems (which seem to be getting better with the addition of a new medication), so we decided to keep all of them isolated into two rooms in the house. It is much easier on the carpet, but I do miss them.

Murphy was 14 in February, so she is quite a senior girl. She is a Yellow Labrador Retriever.
