Hard snow

I have been told that we're on something called Vacation. On Vacation I get to lie beside the wood stove. My person is around all the time. There is lots of yummy food. I like Vacation.

My people tell me that Vacation is almost over. They are putting things in boxes. Are we going again?

Today the sun came out but the air was very cold. The snow is now very hard. I can mostly walk on top without my paws falling through, although it's bumpy and slippery and hard to walk on.

I can smell interesting things under the snow. These I pounce on and dig up. I like snow!
