Welcome to DDY!
I'm Chandra and the adorable Chocolate Lab pictured above is Daley, who was the sunshine of my life from 1996-2009.
Caring for Daley in his elderly years inspired me to start Daley's Dog Years. Here you'll find more than 700 posts related to health, wellness, and senior dog lifestyle.
While the blog is now reserved for occasional updates and special events, join DDY on Facebook for daily shares about the awesomeness of senior dogs as well as tons of tips, tales, and tools for senior dogs and their people!Join Our Social Circle!
