Actually, Rip Van Winkle’s dog came home without him just as the horse Ichabod Crane borrowed came back without him. When Rip woke up, he mistook another dog for his own dog and thought his dog had deserted him when it didn’t come to him. He later learned that he had been missing presumed dead for twenty years after his dog came home without him just as Ichabod Crane was missing presumed dead in Sleepy Hollow when his horse returned home without him. Ichabod was later reported to be alive and a successful New York lawyer by a local farmer who went to New York for a court case but Ichabod was so unpopular in Sleepy Hollow that most people preferred to believe that he had been spirited away by the Headless Horseman.
I am always amazed at how my animals can tell when it is time to do something when they cannot read a clock. No matter what I am doing in the house they know when it is their afternoon play time, their dinner time, their last walk of the night time, etc.

Old Rip did a bit of carousing before he took that nap. I think Red is still hooked on chocolate milk and Kool Aid.
