'A stranger secretly lived in my home' back in 1995, says writer in the Guardian.

This is all hard to believe, but the puppy part is a nice touch!

[quote]My room was on the top floor but on my first night, lying in bed, I heard footsteps above me. Over the months, I started to notice things going missing. I would buy a six-pack of soda, drink one, come home from work and find only four left. It was the same with packets of soup and ramen noodles. I also noticed that doors I had left open were closed, or vice versa.

Mostly, I found it amusing – I assumed that my brother, who had a key, was coming over and eating my food. (Looking back, I should have known it wasn’t him because there would have been dirty dishes everywhere.)

I got a puppy. While she was being toilet-trained, I kept her in the bathroom. One day, when I was out, the apartment flooded. I came home to find the puppy in the sink. She was tiny. I didn’t know how she could have got up there unless someone had put her there to save her.[/quote]

[quote]Sadly, my puppy was hit by a car two years after I moved out of that Washington apartment.

Had she not moved, that puppy might have lived.

Ronnie Milsap covered this territory back in 1983 with Stranger in My House, so try growing an original bone for a change, lady.
