02: What are Stairs?

For the first four and a half years of my life I lived in kennels.  There were other dogs there so I wasn’t lonely but ...

When I moved into my new home, with my two human beans, it was very odd. They kept disappearing. One minute they were there in the hallway; the next they had gone without opening any doors.  Then, some time later they would re-appear, again without doors opening or closing.

It took me a few weeks to work out what was happening. It was not some kind of occult happening (my first theory); it emerged that houses often have strange constructions called ‘stairs’ which allow humans to transport themselves into another dimension.  After watching them for a couple of weeks, I eventually plucked up the courage to try stairs for myself.

Wow! I found that at the end of the stairs there was what seemed to me like another house.  Why they need all that space, I’m not sure ... and my humans often go up the stairs and then say “What did I come up here for?”  Bizarre!

Anyway, I can’t sit around chatting to you.  I need to go and chew a slipper.
