You're Not Too Old for Any Damn Thing

Mooch treed a squirrel today. At age 14.That never was an unusual thing. You should have seen how fast she was ten years and five pounds ago. She could keep up with those pesky squirrels with the best of any dog. She used to be a blur.But things change. We get older. We become tired. And we make excuses for why we can no longer do things. But I’m here to tell you that it’s bullshit.Let me tell you about Mooch’s adventure on our walk today. And how it applies to everyday life. I started writing for a living when I was 47. I became a podcaster at age 50. I have no plan to let age retire me prematurely. Thank you for lending me your ears on this one. I hope you find something of value in it.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer. All rights reserved.Mooch thinks that you all deserve 50% off our paid subscription rate.
