Gemma Atkinson Instagram – Always respecting their boundaries, especially as they are now senior dogs ❤️ Ollie is less interested this time around in Thiago. He wouldn’t leave Mia alone but that was almost 5 yrs ago. He can’t get about as well now and we think he may have a little dementia starting. He’s happy to sit and sniff him but takes himself away to his bed in ours or mums house when he’s had enough. Thiago is at the stage where he pulls himself up on stuff and could unintentionally annoy or hurt Norm or Ollie. With that in mind he’s never alone with them and I never let norm or Ollie feel pushed out. Notice how when sat with me Ollie feels safe, I know Thiago is safe because we’re all relaxed.. It’s so sad watching your companions age and noticing little changes. It’s important to understand as they age they need that extra support and reassurance. Just like humans do ❤️❤️
