Oh. My. GOSH! Guys. GUYS! I have discovered something magical! It floats from the sky in big white flakes. It makes the ground cold and wet and a little crunchy. Momma calls it “snow.”
I LOVE snow.
It makes the whole world like a game of hide and seek! I can scratch and dig at it and Momma doesn’t yell the “STOP!” sound at me. If I’m thirsty I can lick it and it’s cold and refreshing! I love sticking my nose straight into it and barking. Then I run and run and run! I love it a lot.
Momma does this strange thing though, she gets a big shovel stick and scrapes the snow up from the sidewalk. I don’t get it. It makes loud scratchy sounds and kinda seems like playing so I bark at Momma from my yard when she does this. Sometimes she tosses the snow at me, and I jump and bite it! What a fun game. I like it also because Momma lets me stay outside with her when she plays the scrape the snow game.
Which brings me to a revelation. (Do you like that word? I’m learning.)
Momma let me in the backyard.
It was a winter wonderland! Snow everywhere! Off my pesky leash, I ran and ran and ran! This must be what freedom feels like. So many new smells! Sticks to chew! Momma also got out this ball to play with. We only play with it in the backyard. I love to leap and pounce on it. The backyard might be the bestest place in the whole world. Especially when it’s covered with snow.
Do you like the snow, pups of the internet? I can’t wait until it snows again!
In fact, it’s time to go outside and play some more!
