The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

For those of you who have had senior dogs who may not have aged as gracefully as you would have liked, how did you keep them happy? And for those who haven't, treat it as a hypothetical question.
I'm envisioning a dog who, despite pain meds, just can't handle anything beyond a short walk in the yard. How do you keep their minds active for their last years? And is a diet change enough to keep their weight down?
