Our
animal friends experience the process of aging as they get old —
which could be anywhere from a few days to 100 years — depending
on their species.
As
they age they might get arthritis, heart conditions, cancer or cataracts.
They lose the colors of their youth and start to turn white. Their
skin or outer shell may become brittle or dry. They slow down and
sometimes become forgetful.
And
so do we humans. We're alot more alike, our animals and ourselves, than
some would like to think. We can be mindful of this similarity by
giving both our humans and animals the extra care and attention that they
need as they grow old.
