In a glint of an eye, or lack thereof, our pets age as we do
We can’t usually see the pallor of their skin, just the texture of their fur
Less shiny, some dandruff, a coating on your hand after petting
Their teeth become less white
Their joints become less limber
Their cataracts mature
Their hearing is less keen
Just like us, they age
Some more gracefully than others
Humans justify human body failures
But we often can’t accept our pets failing as their natural cycle of life
