TROT for Senior Dogs
The slow rise. The pause at the bottom of the stairs. The look at the couch she used to fly onto. This is the page about the daily routine for the dog who has carried you for a decade and is asking for the floor to be a little softer now.

What changes after age 8
The cushion in the joint capsule thins. The fluid that used to lubricate the morning stand up is slower to come back. Cold mornings hit harder. The dog is the same dog. The first 30 seconds of the day are different.
There is no fixing that. There is only what helps. The home gets quieter (rugs over slick floor, ramp where the couch jump was). The walks get shorter and more frequent. The dinner gets fish oil. The chew goes on the floor at the same time every morning. That’s the routine.
