Leave napping dog's lie
Oct 31, 2016 23:26:19 #
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, 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 6 children -- 2 under the age of 3 --
he's trying to catch up on his sleep.
Can I come with him tomorrow?"

Same thing happened to me some years back. The neighbors dog took up h*****g with my 3 golden retrievers. He would go home to eat and come back every morning. This went on for years till he got to be about 16 years old. Then he started spending the nights with us. Every day though he would amble back home for an hour or so before coming back.

That is cool . They are a highly social animal by nature . Only people can mess that up.
