We recently added a new dog to our living space. He is a two year old full-blooded Yorkshire Terrier. His name is Gunner. He joins our 13 year old Yorkie named Spanky. Gunner is energetic while Spanky is more laid back. At 91 years old (dog years), Spanky has taken to this new young whipper snapper of 14 years (dog years) in our home. He thinks he is a young man again. They are chasing each other through the house and playing in the backyard. Gunner is also learning the ropes around the house.
It just makes me think... What would happen if our teenagers would spend more time with our seniors? It has been said that our seniors are the forgotten of our society. In reality, they have a wealth of wisdom and knowledge to share and pass on to our younger generation. Together, they would both benefit from this relationship. Learn to connect with all people. If dogs can see a value in bridging the age gap... why can't we? Think about it.
