"I've been told age is but a number, how many calendars we've had to purchase, meaning very little in reality. And as I observe my 70th year on this ball going around the sun, I can say those well-wishers are full of crap. I feel every bit of those years, especially when the weather changes and I remember well not having to use this cane just a short few year ago. That said I'll still kick the crap out of any young pup that calls me pops or think this canine doesn't have plenty of fight and bite left enough to share."
