gigamatic

after a 2am chocolate scare with the hoont, it took me a while to get back to sleep. around 4am, i had a dream that i came home from work (it was warm outside, and people were over... neighbors even), came in the house, and there was another dog bed next to hensley's. in it was a pretty mottled grey standard shorthair daschund, looking at me with the look that says "hug me," so i picked him up and took him (upstairs?) to find nala, to thank him for the other hoont and to ask about him, but as i rounded the second set of stairs, the grey ghost disappeared in my arms. Thinking I must be going crazy, I didnt say anything to Nala, and went downstairs to find his dog bed was gone.

later, while relating this at the party (in my dream), one of the neighbors said "you mean Phantom. he lived here a LONG time ago. he must like you guys." Nala overheard, and said "Oh yeah, I've seen him too." -- and then both Kristy and Kelly said they'd seen him in glances around the rooms when they were dogsitting.

What a strange dream.
