Dreaming of Summer

The last few weeks have been a tad bit rough….to say the least. One day I’m running as fast as Usain Bolt through grass “dahn” the Point and the next day I’m slipping and sliding and shivering my fur off. However, I must say, Ma has hooked me up!! with the winter gear. I’ve been sporting sweaters, hoodies and leather jackets straight off the runway…and looking good in them too, I must add! (Ladies, I’ve seen you looking, and I’m okay with it.)

But, aside from my cool new outfits, I have not a single clue as to what’s going on outside. My paws are freezing the minute I step out and there’s this wet, white, powdery stuff on the ground that tastes like the water from my drinking cup, but much colder. I think my person was expecting me to go bounding through the snow like one of those furry things with the long ears that jump around when I chase them at the park, but that’s not happening. I go outside, take my person for a walk, do my business and get back inside ASAP.

Last night, after taking a bone-numbing walk through Santa’s Village and trying to chew some of the salt that someone so generously left outside for the taking (which I later realized was an awful idea and paid the price for), I got home to the best surprise ever!!! A spa treatment! This is my absolute most favorite thing in the world. What’s better than a warm luxurious soak? I’ll tell you what is better….nothing!

And what’s even more exciting is just how much more aerodynamic I am and how fast I can run around my condo!! I don’t know why this skill makes my Ma mad, as I’m just trying to help out with the drying process. But, she says I’m ruining carpets…whoever that is.

After my time at the spa, I donned my new holiday pajamas and snuggled in, in hopes of waking up to Summer. I will continue to hope that Summer returns sooner rather than later, however, I’m told this is just the beginning.
