Old dogs are cute. What more can I say without insulting you? 
Are you related to the Late Rodney D.? ;-)
BTW, here are a couple pictures of my favorite pampered pooch:
http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/photos.html She belongs to my
dad and step mom. The camera's flash turns her deep brown eyes
bright green. 
Lacey is a firm adherent to the universal law that people should never
tease animals.OTOH she has never accepted that the converse is also a
law. Regularly, at bedtime (2AM) she decides that it is time to go out
for a final "poopy dance" and barks loudly in the vicinity of a door.
The drill is; I get out of bed, get slippers on and go down and get
leash and collar from behind the kitchen door. This is her signal to
crouch down and defy me to apply her collar, to the point that she
retreats behind the dinning table, barking continuously. I retrieve my
yard stick and tap it on the floor within five feet of her and she
gallops to the back door and waits to be collared and let out to do
her business, which we then have to go find while mother eats her
poached eggs next morning
Maggie is very well behaved, and only gets them up at night if she
gets sick. She gets up from her bed in the living room and gives them a
look as if to say, 'It's bed time, don't keep me up!" then goes to her
bedroom, and into her cage. After one of them closes the door to her
cage she lays down and dozes off for the entire night. She will spend
the entire day by herself without making a mess, which is more than i
can say about some of the people on this newsgroup. ;-)
She loves to sit outside where she can watch my dad while he's busy
in his workshop, too.
