Hello to all,
Several videos of barely forty-year-old people have recently been making rounds through various social sites. They complain about the newly arriving body aches, soreness, and otherwise discomforts of reaching the milestone age. I chuckle with painful amusement and quietly say, as if they could hear me, “Just wait until your sixties.” I am sure an octogenarian is scoffing at my comment about being in my sixties. Tammy and I feel our age after thirty years of marriage.
There is one in our house that seems to stay forever young. She has a furry butt, floppy ears, and an attitude a mile wide. Ginger, our entitled dog, is approaching thirteen years, about eighty human years. She still sprints around the house with the Zoomies, although it does take her a few more steps to reach full speed. I guess many of my readers would be interested in knowing her secret to staying forever young.
It starts by remaining vigilant for any movement at the neighbors’ houses. Even while napping, an ear echo locates any potential dangers within sight of our house. If the next-door neighbor retrieves her mail from the street, you run through the house barking and howling at her nerve to want their mail. You must sprint at full speed from the family room's little window up the stairs to the large living room window. Then, you retrace the run back to the smaller window. Keep running back and forth until the danger has passed for at least five minutes.
To maintain your forever young abilities and achieve the full effectiveness of this fitness routine, you must accomplish this race with complete indignation, self-righteousness, and rudeness. After safeguarding the house from intrusions with the vigor of an ogre, you run and tell everyone else in the home of your bravery.
Even though Ginger’s sugar face gives away her elderly status, she remains forever young by screaming her domination over the neighborhood. She spends hours staring out the front windows, hoping to find a new and improved reason to go berserk throughout the house, howling her disgruntled opinion to all and everyone.
Follow Ginger’s entitled tantrums for staying forever young into your eighties and nineties.
