Priceless - Dog Tired

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.

Being 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?

There's no doubt about you granny, you tell the best animal stories I've ever heard any one tell. I wish I had your talent... but let me tell about a terrible dream I had a couple of nights ago...

I dreamed we moved into an old farmhouse in the country with lots and lots of land, and (because it was a dream) the house came with a resident housekeeper. She did all the cooking and cleaning. My husband and I went for a walk, and as we were coming back, I asked him, where are the cats? And he said, Oh, I told the housekeeper she could make Pussy-Pate while we were away...we can always get another grey and another black cat...

Next thing I know, I am sitting up in bed, screaming at punching him! I'm so upset I want to kill him! Until I realized it was a nightmare. Poor fellow, it took me ages to explain why I was screaming at him and hitting him.

Here they are, my precious Bessie and her black brother Peppi:
