Tom’s dogs are household pets and have the run of the house when Tom and his wife are gone. But the carpet people were coming to lay a new floor and the dogs had to be kept out of the way.

Tom put them in the bedroom with the door shut and one of his sons agreed to come at noon and take them outside for a time. When Bill came to get the pets and take them outside, he discovered them sprawled out on the bed watching “The Price is Right” and the bedroom TV set.
