DO DOGS DREAM?

Do dogs dream?  Of course we do! You have it on the highest authority,

me, Sam, small Yorkshire terrier and great dreamer.  Watch a dog when 

he's asleep, his paws twitch as though he is running.  When I do that I am

chasing next door's cat who is always invading our garden. I can't stand

him and he doesn't like me either, so we're quits!  When I am peacefully

asleep in my basket with a wistful look on my face I am dreaming of the

beautiful Yorkie with the soulful eyes who lives two doors down.  A few

nights ago I had a fantastic dream, so wonderful that I savoured it for ages.

This is what I dreamt.  When my family do their weekly shop they leave

me in the car. This time I dreamt that I followed them into the super market.

At first I was at a loss as there was so much food to look at and to admire,

that I had indigestion just gazing at it.  I decided to follow what everyone

else was doing and started selecting items that looked tempting to me,

leaving them in piles at each end of the alleys to be collected later.  There

were soon stacks of my chosen items, things that any dog would sell his

soul for.  I ended up at the cake counter and added a large creamy cake

to my store.  I imagined that my selection would be magically put into

bags and loaded into the car, just as the family's weekly shop is, but I

couldn't find any way of making this happen, so I sat in the middle of the  

shop and barked and barked so much I woke myself up. Sadly there were

no bags of my chosen food items placed near my basket and no creamy

cake either.  My breakfast was the usual handful of dry dog food. No

matter, it was a wonderful dream, one I hope to dream again. Then I must

find a way to pack my selected items into bags and get them home.

Something for me to work on..............
