Tiredness

The snow was kind of exciting, but it made me shiver and my paws sting. I like the sun much better. I can run and play, chase my ball, and chew on sticks. I chew the oak leaves into bits; I am fierce and strong, but after play comes tiredness, and the ground is almost warm, and the sun is like Mama's warm hands on my body, stroking sweetly. Makes me drowsy and happy and safe like Mama's hands. 

My mama gets tired, too...
