An "Awwwww" Moment

[Len Dennis]

During one of my "surfing" moods, I came across this and had one of those "awwwwww" moments. I used to own a yellow lab and know how kind and gentle they are. This story struck a chord with me. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This isn't the dog in question but conveys the thought

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: ‘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. Can I come with him tomorrow?’

Now that is a nice little story

Labs sleep? I didn't know that....all I remember is mine going through the house knocking everything that wasn't bolted down, over with his ever wagging tail

Great dogs, hunted ducks, pheasants and even quail over mine, yet never so much as looked crossed eyed at my kids when they were wee little

Great story. Barb and I have had Golden Retrievers for the last 35+ years, very similar dispositions to Labs, gentle and faithful and great with kids.

There really is a reason I keep treats in my delivery truck! There are a schnauzer and a labradoodle in Newton and a blood hound, a lab/pit mix and a chocolate lab in Lewisville that get very upset if the "treat guy" doesn't have something for them when I get there!
