Here is the story of a smart dog who knew where to go for a nap.
The story told to me goes like this:
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into a yard. (The one in the above pix. is over 10 years old)
The home owner could tell from the dog’s collar and well-fed belly that she had a home and was well taken care of. And really wondered why the dog was paying her a visit.
The dog calmly came over to the home owner and offered a paw and in return, received a few pats on her head. And then the dog calmly walked into the house, and found a cool area by a patio overlooking the garden. And curled up and fell sound asleep, with an occasional snore.
An hour later she went to the door and was let out. And trotted happily away.
The next day she was back, wagging her short tail and dancing about the yard. Then she walked inside and resumed her spot in the patio area and again slept for about an hour.
This continued off and on for several weeks.
One day, the home owner, who was becoming attached to the dog, pinned a note to her 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 the dog arrived for her nap, with a different note pinned to her collar:
"She lives in a house with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 and she is just trying to catch up on her sleep.
Can I come with her tomorrow?"
