The old...

Have you ever been walking down a street and heard a dog barking at you. I'm sure everyone has, but have you ever looked at that dog and noticed that it was not the young pup that you had envisioned in your head, but rather an old grandpa of a dog that is barely standing on its own feet. Paying attention even closer, you might notice that that dog isn't even looking at you anymore. He knows that you are there, and he would love for you to leave so he can go back to doing whatever old dogs do at that age (I'm sure there have been studies done to find out), but his focus is elsewhere. It is as if he has become like an old geezer (I'm sure we all know at least one old geezer), that yells at little kids at a birthday party for little Timmy, because they came into the room that he was "taking a nap in" or "just resting the eyes for a bit in." He, the dog and the geezer, refuses to open his eyes to look at them, and even if you or the children stand as still as you could, so still that a T-Rex wouldn't see you, he always still seems to know that you and they are there and keeps on insisting with barks and moans, that the intruder leaves at once. And as long as the presence of a being can be felt the noises will not stop, and even as you walk away, you can still hear the warnings to you and others not to return...
