Developing a white muzzle.
We all know our dogs are getting older but Maisie's white muzzle seems to have developed fairly quickly over the past few weeks without me really noticing!!!!
Here is a photo of the distinguished old lady taken today---she'l be 9 in March. She's on antibiotics for the next 5 days as she's had bad sickness and diarrhoea; the vet was saying it's rife in our local area at the moment
Not forgetting Annie, of course, whose white muzzle isn't nearly as prominent----but then, she's just a baby of nearly 6

Re: Developing a white muzzle.
White muzzle or not they are beautiful.
I suppose it is a little like my husbands Grey Beard that could be called a white muzzle
I hope Maisie is a lot better to day.

Nina started to develop a white muzzle at about two - just around the time Dylan arrived as a pesky pup!

Re: Developing a white muzzle.
Bonnie is also suddenly going very grey, she is a similar age to Maisie, but May. It doesn't seem five minutes since she was a dark gold youngster.
Couldn't love her any more than we do though could we?

Re: Developing a white muzzle.
Maisie is beautiful, but if she's feeling self-conscious I'll take her with me next time I get my roots sorted It's a shame we can't accept ageing as gracefully!
Hope she's picking up now and back to her old self soon

Re: Developing a white muzzle.
Thanks, everyone. Just as a postscript, Maisie obviously loves to share everything with Annie-----she has kindly shared her sickness and diarrhoea bug with her now, so it was back to the vet this morning with Annie, who got a very small steroid injection and a course of Metronidazole the same as Maisie!!
My purse in now £25 lighter:1967:
Maisie is now back to normal so hoping Annie doesn't reinfect her!!! There's only so much sharing I can cope with!!!!

Re: Developing a white muzzle.
Lovely pics Aileen - I hope Maisie and Annie are feeling better soon - I know your purse may be £25 lighter but if you had gone to our vets I can guarantee it would have been about £75 lighter
Give your girls a hug from me.

Re: Developing a white muzzle.
Oh my goodness! just shows how long its been since i seen them, missing my hugs lol, glad Maisie was so kind to share, bet if it was her dinner or a treat it would've been a very different story maybe they've collaborated and decided to start a new trend? the white muzzles aren't a sign of age, they're a fashion statement....
give them a great big hug from me, see you guys soon for my installment of cuddles!!!!
