What happened Buck I opened my eyes, snow is gone, and I’m face down in the mud ?

Well Doe the snow must have melted over night.

But it’s 40 degrees or more out here.  Where did winter go Buck?

I don’t know Doe I fell over too .  The only thing that stayed upright was ‘that damn sled’.  Do you think it’s some kind of sign?

Yea It’s a sign all right.  Here comes the old lady with our cardboard boxes in her hands.  Oh Buck she’s going to take off our heads, stuff them in our bodies, fold up our legs, and shove us in those boxes for a year.

That’s true Doe but look on the bright side a warm basement, no rain or snow, and most important no muddy grass or dirty kitchen floor to graze on!  See you next year Doe!

Yes but I’ll miss you Buck!
