🌨️ Charlie’s Nose Was On The Glass… Again. “Shadow, it’s still snowing!” I woofed dramatically, fogging up the front window with my warm little nose. “At this rate, we’ll never be the first paws in the backyard!” 🐶 “We have to be first!” Shadow barked back from her perch on the couch. “That fluffy white stuff is sacred. You can’t just let humans stomp all over it before the Royal Pup Patrol claims it!” “Exactly!” I nodded, my ears flopping like soft pancakes. “Operation Paw Print is a go. We just need the snow to stop already.” 🥶 Shadow stared outside with the intensity of a squirrel-watcher. “Do you think if we both stare hard enough, we can will the clouds to quit snowing?” I gave it my best Super Serious Stare™. 👀 She joined in. 👁️👁️ ⏳ We stared for what felt like ten whole minutes (which is like a year in dog time), until— “STILL SNOWING!” we howled in unison. 🐕🎶 🐾 Then we flopped dramatically on the rug. “Let’s practice our snow angels while we wait,” I suggested, rolling onto my back and wiggling like a weasel. “Look! I’m an angel!” Shadow flopped down next to me and wriggled so much her ears flapped. “I’m a DOUBLE angel with bonus tail action! ✨👼✨” “Okay okay,” I whispered, my tail thumping the floor, “when it stops snowing, we DASH out, right? You go left, I go right. Circle the big tree, then we belly-flop and make our marks.” Shadow nodded. “I call dibs on peeing by the fence first!” “RUDE. I was gonna do that!” I fake growled. She fake growled back. We had a very serious wrestle session right then and there. 🐾💥 🌨️ Then… The snow slowed. We both froze. 🧊 👀👀 The last flake drifted down like a fluffy feather from heaven. “NOW!” we shouted and raced for the door. Mom barely got it open before we launched into the fluff like tiny, furry comets. 🌟🐶🌟 🎉 First paw prints? Ours. 🎉 Snow angels? Spectacular. 🎉 Backyard zoomies? Record-breaking. And as the snow sparkled all around us like magic, Shadow looked over and said with a toothy grin, “Best day ever.” “Yeah,” I wagged. “Let’s do it again tomorrow.” The End 🐾❤️❄️
