Celebrate Your Pet at Every Age. Everyone loves a new puppy or kitten, says Dr. Becker. “They’re wildly kinetic, and humorous. An older pet is thinner, bonier. Their coats aren’t as soft, they might have bad breath.” But, like people, a pet’s needs change with age. They may be less active, preferring a leisurely stroll to a rollicking tug-of-war. “Our old retriever, who’s blind, still wants to retrieve.” Adapting to their changing needs will ensure your old friend remains a healthy and happy member of your family.
Mr Tugendhat encouraged his child to leave, promising to do face-painting with him later.
Ms Leonard jokingly asked if he would be doing the face-painting, but the politician said that it was "beyond his skill set".

The MP said flustered: “I’m terribly sorry, we've now got jumping on the bed."
At this point, Ms Leonard said they would just have to leave the interview there.
