Woofs! Sugar here …
Every dog is the best dog ever and deserves the best pet parent.
I am a Senior Dog and very lucky to have the Best Parent.
All Senior Dogs Deserve To Have The Best Pet Parent.
Golden Sad to see many dogs are taken by their pet parent to the shelter especially senior dogs. Senior dogs still have lots of love left to give. Senior Dogs Rock!
Are you a Senior Dog looking for the Best Pet Parent?
I say consider a whole page ad and be clever on your ad presentation. Let’s see …
WANTED: Best Pet Parent 4 Best Senior Dog Ever
MUST Have These 6 Best Pet P.A.R.E.N.T Qualities
P Senior dogs are delicate and a best pet parent must have PATIENCE.
A Must be an ADVENTURER. The best pet parent must take you along on adventures, experience to see the beauty and charm of the world.
R Having a pet is a lifetime commitment. A best pet parent must be RESPONSIBLE and committed in providing compassion and loving care.
E A best pet parent must be EAGER to learn. There’s always room for new knowledge. Learning new tricks are pawsome mental stimulations for senior dogs.
N A best pet parent must be NIFTY, well informed of the latest pet news, health, products and new innovations.
T It is very impawtant for the best pet parent to have a delish TASTE bud for good food = knows quality Made in the USA dog food, like Merrick Pet Care. Many senior dogs have a harder time processing carbohydrate ingredients, thus developing food sensitivities to grains. The Merrick Grain Free dog food is PAWfect. Merrick recipes are sourced locally with farm fresh ingredients to ensure the highest quality. All the recipes are made in their own five-star kitchen and manufactured facilities that uphold the strict guidelines well defined by the FDA.
Every Best Dog Ever Deserves a Best Pet Parent and of course Best Food.
I Golden Enjoyed a YUMMY Delish Merrick Dinner. Since Merrick is based in Amarillo TX, I had to taste their Grain Free Real Texas Beef + Sweet Potato Recipe and Merrick’s Big Texas Steak Tips Dinner. Merrick “locally sourced Texas beef to help dogs everywhere satisfy their craving of hearty red meat and nutritious fresh vegetables.”

Merrick is so PAWsome that they want me to giveaway a whole month’s supply of dog food, wet/dry/or combo. Merrick pet food has 125 dog food, cat food , and pet treat recipes. I Golden Assure you that Merrick recipes do not contain any ingredients from China.

Yummy Sugar! Loved your ad tips for finding the best doggy parents. Shiner loves that Turkey dinner canned food too!
Love your post, Sugar! Super creative. I was in Texas on the way home but all we saw was wind and tumbleweeds, no food along side the road 😉
We will never ever understand how someone can give up their senior dog….all my dogs have lived past 16 and still been active and happy and so full of love. I think the thing I love the most is they make us slow down and enjoy the little things.
I think you have the best doggy parents, love the post.
I drooled on my keyboard as I saw your video (the whicker on the start was great!). I love your treats! Have a tasty tuesday… oh and btw: Where is the way to Amarillo?
Sugar you are the best senior doggie and you have the most pawesome pawrents! Woooooowoooooooo!
We love the picture of YOU with your HAT.
Oh Sugar, you are #bestdogever Golden Senior girl! Senior dogs do rock and they deserve a loving home with best pet parent and Golden Delish food like Merrick! I love your video…you can “speak” for your food. I never learned that but maybe I can learn…old dogs can learn new tricks, right? Your word play on PARENT is spot on for best pet parent. I think it is terrierific!

Beautiful ad Sugar. I’d add educated. There are many wonderful beni’s of owning an older dog along with the challenges. Understanding both can make people consider the challenge. It’s hard to believe my baby Bailey is now in the senior category, but he is such an amazing dog. I can’t imagine what this house would be like without him. If something happened to us and he needed a good home, he’d be an amazing companion for someone who wanted someone who paid attention, provided protection, and care. Realistically he is having more health issues as he ages. That is something people do have to expect as there dog ages. However, it can be intimidating when you start out that way, you don’t grow into it as we have with Bailey. Another reason to talk with potential adopters about the financial expectations of owning any dog, but especially senior ones.
Thank you for sharing this wif us Sugar. Our mom has been telling our dad that we need to find a senior boy and bring him to our home. Dad is thinking about it. Mom is going keep bugging him.

Gumbo’s fur always get so shiny when we feed her Merrick Dog Food, so I can tell it’s really good for her. She just loves the taste!
You must have worked in advertising! Great post!
Hi Sugar,

My Mom has been wanting to change my food for a while now.
Thank you fur being a good inspiration for us senior dogs.

My dog is the best dog ever because she loves me no matter what.
Yummy, yummy can’t wait to do my review! Love Dolly
OM NOM NOM. Sugar, you really do have the best pet parents ever. And you rock the senior dog world!
You got the life Sugar! Merrick has some tasty stuff
Lily & Edward
Senior dogs are awesome… especially when you have more than one (Boomer and Dottie)
Looks like a very tasty contest, Sugar!
You are a perfect example of how amazing senior dogs can be! I pray that Bentley lives a full life and enjoys his senior years. We should all be so lucky to have our best friend for 15+ years. I’m glad that you have great parents. Their love for you is obvious!
Why do I think Bentley is the best dog ever? He completely changed the direction of my life by inspiring The Returns and that led to Barking from the Bayou. He is my soul-dog!
My dog is the best dog ever because he’s mine!
Sugar you and I are very lucky senior ladies for sure.
Of course your pics are as beautiful as ever.
Hugs Madi your bfff
Why are my dogs the BestDogEver? Firstly, let me state that my dogs are each far from perfect. They each have their quirks, their likes, their dislikes, and varying levels of patience, acceptance, and training. But at the end of the day they are each steadfast, loving, and loyal. They are up for whatever adventure we may choose to embark on, and they will stand by my side without question where many humans do not. They are my creative muses, my little helpers, my shadows, and constant companions. And they don’t talk back. Ok, yes they do (especially Terra who is extremely vocal and she loves having her voice heard!). But they challenge me to be more in tune to them, to be more open-minded, patient, and to continue learning. In that way they are the BestDogsEver 🙂
Wonderful breakdown of your parenting, Rosalyn!
Sugar, you looked like you really enjoyed your Steak Tips dinner ^.^
Tyson is BestDogEver because he is sweet, silly, and super loving.
Great post Sugar and your mum is certainly a great pet parent. We think you are a great role model for senior dogs. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
I think you already won that best pet parent thing Sugar!
Great giveaway Sugar
We can tell you love that steak dinner Sugar! Our mommy said that your mom is certainly a pawesome pet parent! Since we’re not dogs, we won’t be entering the giveaway but good luck to all those that do!
we don’t understand how anyone can give up their senior pet. Our Char Shu lived to 17 and the last couple of years Mom says was like taking care of a little child. But she wouldn’t trade that for anything.
hugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Greta
Millie and Walter are the best pair of dogs we’ve ever had. They make us laugh every day and always love to snuggle.
My dog is best dog ever because he’s a sweet old senior boy. I saved him from an animal shelter 11 years ago and we’ve been each others best friend ever since.
What a wonderful giveaway Sugar! I know you have the best pet parent and I love your pictures so much! I especially love this post with the picture of you with the hat! You are so beautiful and sweet!
My little Luna bear is the best dog ever because she makes my days special! She is fun, loving and knows just what I need when I need it. She will always be my pride and joy.
What an awesome post Sugar! You are one lucky dog!
My dog is the best dog ever because he is very protective

Looks like some great food, I’m sure my dogs would love it! Senior dogs are remarkable and deserve remarkable parents!
You are so right Sugar! Pets looking for petparents need to remember to look for petparents who understand that love is for life, not just a few years. I am so happy I found my mom, she would never give me up.
Hugs,
Pepper
Shelby has been my best bud for almost 14 years now, hubby wanted a black lab and our neighbor’s GF had Shelby and couldn’t manage her. Shelby & I went to obedience classes (hubby had to work) and she bonded with me over that and she became much more manageable because I spent the time and effort with her. She is a bit hard of hearing and takes thyroid meds, but other than that she is doing great!
You look great Sugar and so does that food! Nomnomnom!
Mom just wants everyone to know that I am the best doggie in the world because I am soft and fluffy and cuddly.
Both of my kids are senior pups and wouldn’t dream of giving them away! It’s not as easy as when they were younger but they are still my babies and I Love them very much. I’ve had them for many years and I would consider them best dogs ever!
My 3 dogs are the best because they are sweet, cuddly, loyal, smart and they would love to win a month of Merrick food Merrick canned food is their very favorite.
Great ad! Seniors are the best and you made great points of what qualities the best parents need to have! I loved the video too, Sugar really enjoyed that food, didn’t she?
My dog Jax is the #bestdogever because he’s my workout partner and helped me lose 15 pounds.
My dogs are the BestDogsEver because they give me so much happiness and LOVE each and everyday! They make me laugh, they love to cuddle, and the are my velcro dogs because I never have to go to the bathroom by myself, sweep the floor by myself because the are right behind me helping and I never have to eat alone and that is the greatest feeling of never being alone! I LOVE them so much. They are my life!
My dog is probably the worst dog ever but we still love him likes he’s the best! He suffers from severe anxiety we call it shepherd anxiety because he fears that we will never return and acts like a monster when we leave him. He has gotten out and broken into our neighbors house to let their dog out to play, he has an issue with barking and pretty much none of the people who live near us like him but he’s our baby. I couldn’t imagine our lives without our “first” baby before the kids came. Marley and me and has nothing on the stories I could tell you about our dog.
We have 2 dogs a black lab and a yorkie I love them both dearly with all my heart but the yorkie is actually my dog where as the lab is a family dog so I love my yorkie because she sleeps with me and I take her everywhere I go. she is my fur baby
The greatest companion anyone could ask for.
He’s so sweet! and sooooooo playful when a puppy is around. He’s getting better at learning too!
My Dog’s Are So Kind And Gentle The Best Companions Ever, Making Them The Best Dogs!
Because he is loyal, funny, obedient and a great companion!
My dog is the best dog ever because she has the best personality. Dimaond is always happy, very loving, full of energy, gentle and caring.
My dog is very loyal. She is also very intune to my feeling so she is like my therapist as well. She never judges me!
All five of my rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds are the best dogs ever. Despite having a hard start in life, they are the sweetest and most loving dogs you will meet. They give back to me more than I could ever hope to give them.
My two puppies, Hazel and Summer, are the best dogs ever because they are sweet, loyal, and smart!
Sugar, I think I’m the #BestDogEver because I behave well and love my humans as much as they love me. I also keep my peeps active, I’m a great communicator (you won’t believe how much I can say with my tail wagging, puppy eyes and wide range of bark sounds), I don’t bite people or pets and I always pee/poo outdoors.
Shiloh is the best dog every because he is just so in love with life and with me. He is ready for ANYTHING as long as we’re doing it together.
Stella is the best dog ever because of unconditional love!
We have several dogs (and a few cats, including one senior and one super senior) and they are all wonderful for so many reasons. Every one of our pets is a rescue of some sort or another, some rescued as puppies or kittens and some as adults. The oldest dog is currently losing her eyesight, yet somehow seems to be becoming more cuddly as she ages. Another dog seemed to know that I was sick before I did and then made himself sick with stress while I was in the hospital. Another is currently fighting lymphoma, but never stops showing that she is an absolute love bug and kissing bandit (even when getting picked up from chemo appointments.) They are all great and will be with us for as long as they live.
My little senior gal is the best dog ever because she’s overcome just terrible obstacles to work her way into our world. She spent most of her life as “breeding stock” in a puppy mill, and now she is an adored little princess.
