One thing I've noticed is how much an older dog LOVES to be massaged. I've observed that they often can't reach their head and other forward areas with their hind foot for a scratch.

I make it a habit to regularly scratch ears (they love a deep ear rub), massage the back of the neck, scratch and massage the chest, shoulders and ribs. They will tell you what feels good -- watch their eyes, listen to the sighs and when they lean into your hands -- they are telling you they like what you are doing.
