Silent Seniors No More

At some point in our senior years, many of us make a startling discovery: we may pay the bills and buy the pet food, but we are definitely not running the household.

This playful Dozer Bootcamp special celebrates the hilarious ways our dogs and cats take charge—from deciding when we wake up and how many treats are really “the last one,” to claiming our favorite chair and somehow taking over an entire bed.

Along the way, there’s also a little wisdom hiding behind those four paws. Our pets remind us to enjoy the simple things, get outside and take the walk, let go of grudges, slow down, and never miss an opportunity to welcome someone we love.

It turns out aging has plenty of lessons to teach us—and sometimes our funniest and most loving teachers have fur, wagging tails, and absolutely no concern about whose name is on the mortgage.
