Description

Two gentleman with a combined age of about 192 having an afternoon nap. I don't subscribe to the saying that 'Age is just a number' . I have been visiting Rest homes and Nursing homes with the dogs for years, and the fact is that however active someones is or was and however sharp the brain remains, the years take a toll on the body.

How true! I'm "only" 66 but I'm starting to feel it despite my trying to resist it. These fellows look like year gone by, yet moving into the new year. Happy New Year to you and the boys! :-)

I used to take one of my girls to the rest homes, I saw a lot of the elderly taking a nap. I also saw them playing Bingo & having a good time.

and depending on the type of work you've done, you can age even faster or at least it seems that way
Great capture and Happy New Year to you and your love ones (furkids naturally included)

It must be nice to be able to sit on a chair and have a deep nap. I wouldnt be able to move after trying that. lol! I need a bed. I think it is nice, they have peace enough to sleep like that.

Very true words Andrea.

These two gentlemen appear to be enjoying their nappy.

Thanks for sharing.

this should be re-titled, "Hey, people, I'm not THAT boring!" Great shot. I agree that age isn't a number, and when people tell me that I'm only as young as I feel, and I could be 30 again if I put my mind there, I want to hit them with a cane. (I'd get one just to hit them with it.) Age is real, and it takes resolve and strength and work. These two are sleeping about as deeply as anyone I've seen, and they make a great shot. Like your dog-sleeping shots, this is as real as it gets.

Yep. I'm not joking when I say that I started to go down hill from 40! I certainly can't do things as easily as I used to, and I have heaps more aches and pains.
