Silvering/greying patterns in seniors

Ruby as of 5 minutes ago...



She's 7, will be 8 in February. Nutro and Wellness kibble until 2.5ish years old, then raw since then. No kelp added. She's a smutty fawn from a byb.

What an interesting (and emotional) thread. How lovely to be able to revisit pics of some of the oldies many of us have known about, and loved.
Hattie is 7 1/2 now (where did the time go?) She is greying rapidly and has a little grey chin and one great big grey whisker. I'm hopeless at posting pics but those of you who are doing the card exchange will be able to see what I'm talking about ...

Penny is 13 or 14 or so - the dogtor thought she was about 7-8 when she came to me in 2005, and I made her gotcha day her 8th birfday. Her arthritis is getting pretty bad but, then, so is mine. Her PK is holding its ground, which is good. Not much peripheral vision on the right, and she sees much better in bright light. She has the cutest little salt-and-pepper tummy, and the inside of her thighs is getting more salt than pepper, too. Here she is this summer, resting her chin on Kellie's foot. Her chin was a little white when we first met, and has gotten whiter over the years.


You can see her white eyebrows and eyelashes better in this one.


I love this thread!

Nell is 8 and is getting gray on her face and then has random gray hairs all over her body, primarily on the underside.

Yoda who is getting close to 16 yrs, is looking amazing with his little white face!

Oh how I love these photos. Amanda, Nell and Stella have the same graying pattern. It looks like the stuck their faces into a powdered donut.

This is an emotional thread. And the first time I think I have posted pix of my darling girls at the bridge, since they passed. So, with a deep breath.....

Puck, just three weeks before she passed on unexpectedly, at age 10.5. Very little grey!


And LouLou, completely white at 17. I miss them both so much.


And LouLou when she first started to go grey at around age 3 or 4


And Imi (at top) who will be 12 in a month and very little grey! She is strongly related to Puck, so I am not surprised she is getting very little grey.

I am loving these pictures. T - I just adore that picture of Yoda. Such a happy little chap.

Snifter is 5 and has started to get some grey on his chin and some white whiskers.

Oh my, Maryjo, Blance I have tears is my eyes remembering all the lovely pugs I used to read about, I have never forgot about their passing, but they have pulled a string in my heart tonight x
