The Lodger

[playpen]

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my garden.
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 garden, 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 a
non-stopping-chatting wife, six children, two under the
age of three--he's trying to catch up on his sleep.
Can I come with him tomorrow?"
