Nancy LeVine's Portraits of Senior Dogs

I'm one of those who think old dogs are the best dogs. I love this collection of senior dogs across America.

  1. Beautiful pictures of so many different & wonderful dogs. Most of them seemed so peaceful & content & some very happy, obviously very loved...but I was disturbed by a couple of them that seemed to be struggling, perhaps in pain.
    I started reading the comments...but so many heartfelt & sad stories of saying goodbye...so much love, yet so very sad when we have to let them go.

  2. Posting this made me a little sad. Over the years I had a number of Cavalier King Charles spaniels who developed heart conditions as they grew older. They enjoyed their food and lap time right up until the end. They all died on their own at home and each one broke our hearts. Our last dog, a beautiful flatcoated retriever developed spleen cancer and stopped eating. We had to make the awful decision to have him euthanized. After that we decided we would not have any more dogs.
