Fried mushrooms were a little heavy but the cabbage was one of the best things I’ve eaten in over a month. Will be back for sure.

My basset hit a sudden gray spell around 6. anyone else experience this?

My basset beast turns 6 in two months and over the last several months he’s gone noticeably grayer, mostly in his coat and face. People are suddenly surprised to hear he’s not yet 6.

He also went through a pretty rough anxious period recently and I wonder if that accelerated things. Now I can’t help but worry he’s aging faster than he should be and that he might have fewer years ahead than I’d hoped.

His weight, energy, and bloodwork are all totally fine but I just can’t shake this feeling that looking older means being older in some deeper sense.

Did anyone else’s basset go through a sudden graying spell around this age? Is this just a breed thing or did the anxiety play a role? Would love to hear your experiences!
