Butch and Benjamin Franklin

This morning when I got up I went through my usual routine to get ready for work. I am not a morning person. I’m not sure if it is the same for dogs or not …that some are morning dogs and some are not. Butch is not a morning dog so it works out well for us. He prefers to stay in bed while I get ready. He can usually fall back to sleep and muster up a good ear piercing snore within a couple of minutes. He is never excited to get out of that warm bed and trudge outside in the balmy 3 degree weather that finds us during these winter days of February. After letting him outside he came back in shivering and proceeded to tell me that he had a dream last night. Butch told me that he had a dream that Benjamin Franklin woke him up in the middle of the night and wanted him to explain how the furnace worked without putting any wood inside! I know, I know, you think I’m nuts or at least taking some kind of medication. Well it’s no to both! What Butch? OK, Butch wanted me to tell you that HE thinks I’m nuts!
