The White Stuff

A couple of weeks ago I woke with my usual exuberance. It was breakfast time and I dutifully annoyed everyone until someone grumbled and got up. However when they got up and looked out of the window, sheer delight appeared on their faces and they started shoving me down the stairs shouting SNOW! SNOW! I think dad was talking Scottish again because I didn’t understand what he meant. Being Australian, I was taken aback by it all and confused by Jack and Blue excitedly dancing around. Then the door opened and the crisp cold air nipped at my ears. I had no idea what it was and all I wanted was a bowl of the finest kibble. Snot was dripping faster than ever before and when I ventured outside, my paws sank until I couldn’t see them anymore. Just what was this white stuff? The longer I stood, the giddier I got, I just had to run. It was so exciting to run through this cold white blanket. After a few minutes of Tasmanian devils and chasing Jack I was quickly bundled into the car with my jacket on and it was off to the woods. It was fun chasing after everyone on the red sliding thing and running through the white fluffy trees after a Labrador. However after a few days of cold feet and sliding face first onto ice, it’s safe to say I prefer an evening in front of the fire to the white stuff.
