I Wanna Go, Too!

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 he was
well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; then
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 penned a
note and attached it 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. May I come with him tomorrow and get
some sleep too?"
