Senior Pets

We were at a restaurant in a small town recently where they have those paper place mats with the ads on them from the local businesses. I love those place mats. They give you a feel for the community you’re in and there’s usually something entertaining in one of the squares. Sure enough, this place mat had an ad for the local humane society which has a pet food pantry apparently for pets in need. I was told these pantries are quite common. So yeah, you can get free food for your pet, I guess. That’s a nice service. This humane society also provided a service called “Senior Pet Food Delivery”. It did not specify if it was for senior people or if it was for senior pets. Since this was a Humane Society, I’m assuming it was for pets. It did not state how old your pet had to be to get pet food delivered to it and it also did not state if they measure the pet’s age in human years or in dog years. My recommendation would be that, when you apply for the food delivery, you use dog years ‘cause 70 years old sounds a lot more needy than 10.

Just don’t ask for Puppy Chow. That might give away that you have a younger pet.
