Mom let us go outside today ‘cuz she was tired of us begging. 

She warned us that we weren’t going to like it but we didn’t listen.

Mom……..I used to be able to jump off the deck here and run around in the yard.  What happened?  It’s all white and I don’t think I want to jump in it.

At least I can still get to my “hidey” spot.  However, I am just as confused as Hemingway.  Why is all that white stuff out there?  Where are my birdie, squirrel and bunny friends?

Shhhhhhh………..do I hear a bird………or do I smell more snow coming?

Mom, it’s a good thing you have plenty of wood here ‘cuz we like the fires.  I remember when I used to jump off this end of the deck and chase Hemingway around in the yard.  I don’t think I’ll do that now.

Well, we didn’t stay out very long.  We probably should have listened to Mom but we had to find out for ourselves.

Now we have to spend lots of time getting our feet all cleaned.  It was hard to walk out there and try to shake all four feet at once.

Mom was laughing at us but then she gave us treats when we came inside.

Now it’s time to nap before that souper bowl thing.  I can’t wait to see what’s in my soup!
