He checked to see
that his human friends were ok. It was his job to watch out for them. Then he closed his
eyes, again.
Just as he started to
get sleepy, something tickled his nose. He opened his eyes and brushed his nose with his
paw.
A tiny fly flew away.
Once again, he tried
to sleep. He was just starting to dream about protecting his human friends, when something
tickled his foot.
He twitched his foot
and opened his eyes.
One of his cat friends was licking his foot.
The next time he woke
up, it was because a big pine cone dropped on the ground beside him, making a loud thump.
Just
as he settled down again, his human friends came to get him.
"Come
on, Spanky. It's time to go for a walk. You're getting too lazy, just sleeping all
day."
Poor
Spanky!
