This is possibly a true story, but I’m using it because it reads like a joke. I got it from Magsx2’s Blog, via Barb at Passionate About Pets.
An older, tired looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, and curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: “He lives in a home with six children, two under the age of three. He’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”
Love it ! Thanks !
Peace,

It is no joke living in a home with six children, two under the age of three. I was one of six and it was hard to fine a quiet spot. If I had known that dog, I’d have gone too.

Oh, I see how this could be a real story. I wish I could take a nap once in a while but my kids don’t take naps anymore, even my 4-year old. 😦
