Blog Entry #3: To Be Reasonable

The object in my home that I have chosen to write about is my dog, Sandy. Sandy is an elderly dog, she no longer barks, jumps, or plays fetch. The highlight of her day is dinner time; she lays her head between my legs and begs for food for about an hour while I eat. Besides begging for any type of food, Sandy also sleeps. That pretty much describes my dogs entire life. She is no longer thrilled by the idea of a car ride or long walks outside, her big fluffy pillow at the top of the steps is all the excitement it needs in life. Visitors make fun of her, call her fat lazy, and every other name in the book. But in all honesty, all of her behavior is completely reasonable. Vivacious, activities like running and jumping are for puppies or younger dogs; older more established dogs like to sit back and observe everything. This can be easily compared to with people. Teenagers are always looking for some event, or an excuse to get out of the house. But in your more established, older years you find a lifetime movie as an exciting event. The theory of being reasonable all depends on the person or object. They determine their own definition of what being reasonable is. Age is a common way of distinguishing what being reasonable is, and the reasonable thing for older people or animals to partake in is a more relaxed, simple lifestyle. But of course they are not limited to that lifestyle.
