Dogs - Shar-Pei

Sharpei Puppies have lots of loose skin and wrinkles, and have often been photographed for greetings cards.  As the dogs mature, the skin smoothes out and they have few wrinkles except on the head, which gives the dog a worried look. The wrinkles should be cleaned out regularly to prevent skin trouble.

Isn't it strange that we think dogs with wrinkles are cute, yet our own wrinkles are something to be ashamed of? Why do we dread growing old? God has promised that He will look after us even when our hair is white! Isaiah chapter 46, 4, says, "Even to old age - even when your hair is white - I, God your father, will carry you, for I made you and will deliver you!"
