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 m, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me
into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in a corner and fell
asleep. 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 6 children, 2 under the age of 3. He’s
trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him
tomorrow?
Such a sweet story and you have no idea how I relate to this Sylvia. I have a little black cat (you will see her tomorrow) who belongs to a young girl who lives around the corner from me in what we call the 'party house' and this gorgeous little cat comes and spends nearly all day with me to get some peace and quiet!! btw I see from your new header that you've been working out Sylvia!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he is right to take a nap =)
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely wonderful!!!! So, are you going to open a nap hotel for tired parents and dogs? :-)
ReplyDeleteA sweet story and what a wonderful way to make a new friend. It just goes to show how much sense a dog has.
