Tired Dog

"Tired Dog"*

*An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard.
I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he
had a home. He followed me into the house, down
the hall, and fell asleep in a corner.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, resumed his position in the
hall, and slept for an hour.
 
This continued for several weeks.

Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon
your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar:

"He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to
catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"
