The Old Dogs vacate the Doghouse as our podcast draws to a close. We end with a revisit to some of our favorite conversations - maybe yours is one of them? Thanks to all our listeners. We hope we gave you a bone or two to brighten your days. And remember: keep howling at the moon!

The Old Dogs review some of the reasons why people quit doing their podcast. We look back to two special years in our collective past – The summer of love and the year that changed America. And we take a moment to de-bunk some of the more prevalent myths about aging. Once again, we conclude by offering four selections from our treasury of Old Dogs conversations.
