Here's another story:

I JUST NEED A NAP

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.

Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: β€œI 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:

β€œHe 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?”

A friend of mine took me and Tripod to the vet on Monday for Tripod's twice-annual bloodwork, and they had that on the bulletin board in the waiting room. I've read that story before, too, but I think the version I read had 10 kids--I could be wrong.
BTW, Tripod's bloodwork is fine--her T-4 values are a bit high, but the vet says they're still in the normal range, and that I should just keep on doing what I'm doing. I'm a bit concerned though, she seems to have lost 1/2 a pound--she weighed 6.2 lbs. in April, and this time she was 5.7 lbs. She only stands 8 " tall at the shoulder, plus she's always been thin--takes after her grandmother--but the last time she weighed that little was when she had that pancreaitis, and looked like a furry skeleton. She looks okay, so maybe it was because she was moving around on the scale. Of course, she's getting her winter coat on, but when I put my hands on her, she doesn't feel extra-thin. I can remember when she topped out at 8 pounds, but she was a lot younger then....
