It’s time for your weekly linkage. I’ve chosen today’s theme for one simple reason. Senior dogs rock.

1. First up, your punny pet names: Lickey Rooney and Ben Catlock.
2. This month, I’m doing a series of posts about senior pets on the Grouchy Puppy blog. Head on over and check out my first post to find out how an old dog can teach you some new tricks.
3. These dogs with old man faces are awesome, as are the accompanying Sanka and Matlock references.
4. I’m loving these photos of senior dogs across America from Nancy LeVine.
5. This is slightly off topic, but I don’t care. History is old. This Animals From History ebook looks amazing. (There are puns!) I want to hang prints of the illustrations around my house. It would totally class up the joint.
6. These vintage art dogs are also pretty great.

Finally, I give you today’s video. This mature dog is pretty charming, don’t you think?
