Day 18

It came, it came, the beautiful white stuff came. We went out before the sun came up and the ground was glowing with whiteness all the way up to my belly. The Captain put on her puffy clothes and fake fur paw coverings and pushed the white stuff around with a stick thing. I kept running around and diving into the big mounds hiding from the Captain and eat up the goodness, literally. She just laughed and used the stick to throw white stuff on me. At one point my entire face was covered in it. Oddly, she put these big things over her bottom paws, snoe shoes she called them, and ran around on the snow squeeling. I think she loves the white stuff as much as I do. While she was running around, I went on adventure and found this big orange ball in the bushes that I could barely hold onto.

I stayed in my house for a while so the Captain could go out on an adventure in her wierd snow shoes. nI think she had a good time, but I sure wish I could have gone with her. She sure came back awfully excited and happy and said maybe I could come next time. She was shivering and got in that tub thing again. She let me eat some of these yummy bubbles that were surrounding her, they were growing so fast I think I might have saved her life.

Later, the Captain cleaned out a cabinet again and threw a ton of paper stuff away. She told me stories about her and my papa while she sorted through some stuff. Their wedding day sounded really nice and she showed me a funny picture of my Papa and a baby elephant. I think they like each other the way I like my beautiful Nesta.

Finally, she took me out and let me play in the white stuff again. This time she even got my four legged friend from next door, Cooper, to come and play with me. We played tug of war with a round circular disk that the Captain kept throwing for us. She got it stuck in one of the bushy green trees, but I lept into the air and snatched it back for her, only I wouldn't let her have it really--serves her right for throwing so bad.
