OFF LEASH: On age
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
Age is not, as has often been stated, just a number. My age, for example, is unknown. Seven? Ten? Older? No one knows.
But this much is certain: I'm no puppy. While less-mature dogs pursue their tails tirelessly, I prefer to wile away my days on the couch, or the rug next to the radiator.
Which is not to say that I don't have my moments of youthful exuberance. Like just before my walk in the morning. Or when chicken is being served. Or when the UPS guy arrives mid-morning, interrupting my nap, and rings the doorbell, forcing me to snarl like a starved, taunted Doberman with a taste for blood and an appetite for human flesh.
You're never too old for that.
