Aging Sucks Even For Dogs

This morning as my Boston Terrier woke up I noticed that he was moving a lot slower than usual, and with a distinct stiffness to his walk. This dog has been a great companion to me for many years, and as I watched him I realized I was seeing signs of aging.
There are things to understand when caring for your Boston Terrier as he ages. For example, aging in both dogs and humans is a gradual process. Some symptoms are going to be very easy to see: stiffness in joints, sensory and perception deficits, loss of energy, and strength.
I have noticed my sweet little baby is sleeping more and more; and generally he is not wanting to play as often or take long walks.
Another thing I have noticed is that he will either ignore my calling him to come on walks, or is losing some of his hearing because I find him just sleeping on his pillow even after I have called him.
