Play Break
See how the young dog darts and nips
at the old dog’s neck and hips?
Anxious on this glorious day
to jump and scamper, tease and play.
With one year only to his name,
his entire life’s a game.
The older dog, his conquests made,
calmly commandeers the shade.
Winded, panting, tired, sore,
he lies there for five minutes more,
then springs to life, ready again
to be the dog he was back when.

Just observed this scene on the beach so had to write about it, Patty. Didn’t have my camera, so let my old dog Frida be their standin.

We have two 11-year-old dogs and an almost 2 year old. All still active and healthy, but the clock ticks.

Well, not only about dogs, perhaps.
