Old, Tired Dog

I got this story via email and had to share. I sometimes feel like a tired, old 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."
