Doggie Dreams

Do you ever wonder what dogs dream of? I think our yellow lab, Star sometimes dreams of being in a tennis ball factory and is assigned to test the balls for bounce, durability and slobber adhesion. Our black whatever-it-is, Bear probably dreams of stealing the tennis ball from Star. Dogs and children add a tremendous amount of life to a household. A few years ago when our daughter was 4 or 5 years old someone asked her what kind of dog Star is and she replied "A yellow laboratory." I wonder if she ever said that I work in a chemistry labrador.
