in the dusk sun of the neighborhood filled with woods and wilderness. Albert a 20 year old (human years) 4 year old (dog years) golden retriever stayed outside. Yawning and panting due to the summer hot breeze but it was fine, in reality though he was LAYING in his own sweat outside the porch of the house. It’s not like he couldn’t go back in when he wanted but for now he stayed outside. Enjoying the summer before his ears started to prick up to a sound..a squirrel. Going to instinct canine mode, his teeth bared and drool left his mouth. Getting up with a slight grunt the dog groaned and hit his own snout, bringing up his hind leg to scratch away the fleas in his back. “nope nope, sorry squirrel but I am a NEW canine! No chasing you today…” he claimed with confidence to focus on guarding the house of his family owners.
