Under Grumpa's Hat

A man wrote an email to a small hotel in a town he planned to visit on his holiday.

He wrote: “I would love to bring my dog with me. He’s well-groomed and very well-behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?”

An immediate replay came from the hotel manager, who wrote:

“Sir, I have been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a god steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the wall. I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at our hotel.“

At the end, he added: “And if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here too.”

Moral of the story:

Maybe dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. Having one means being constantly surrounded by unconditional love and loyalty. There are a lot of people who don’t understand how important our fur babies are to us, saying they are just dogs. Luckily, there are those who know these creatures are family members, just like this cool hotel manager…
