Have you ever watched a young dog try to play with an older one?
The old dog sort of just stands there with his mouth open watching as the young dog runs around in circles nipping at his heals and yapping away. The old dog will eye the pup, almost wary of its intentions. For the most part he’ll stand stock still, as if he’s too dignified to debase himself with all of this running around nonsense. Every once in a while the old guy will engage for a ferocious 30 seconds of intense action because, come on, he’s just old and not dead, right?
