Hi! Glad to have you reading this far…I’ve got nothing else. Enjoy!

It was cold. That was the first think I noticed. I looked at the clock in the darkness. Squinting to make sure I could see it. 1:30 A.M. It was raining white rain outside also. There was no heater in the house either. I curled up in a ball on my couch. I grab the Game Boy my Daddy gave me a week ago and hold it closer to me. I wish that it gave off some heat to help me.
I change my mind. It wasn’t cold. It was freezing. I stand up on my chair and stretch. The blanket falls off me as I stand up, exposing my back to the cold freezing air. The blanket Daddy gave me was comfortable and thick, but didn’t hold heat to well. I put myself next to the side of my chair to help me keep warm. An hour later of it didn’t help much though.
I jumped my way off the chair and went to the kitchen. Jumping onto the counter top and turning on the hot water. Not enough to wake Daddy though. I drank from the flowing water. I hope that the water will make me warmer. I turn of the taps and head back to my chair.
I don’t feel much better though. I notice that the blanket Daddy is a little thicker than mine, and it’s flowing on to the floor. I crawl over and put myself under it. The floor was of course cold so I put a part of it under me. Within 20 minutes I had warmed up enough to go to sleep. Hours later I woke up and saw Daddy cooking me breakfast. Wait. The clock said it was 8:30. Daddy should be at work.
I went over to him and asked him why he was here. He told me the snow wouldn’t let him go home. I look out the back door and see the white stuff, which I think is snow, covering the road and sidewalk. After I eat my breakfast my Daddy tells me that because of the snow I can go outside.
He surprises me with another gift. I looked at the package and ripped of the paper. I look inside to find a small but thick sweater. It was blue with a rainbow stripe in the middle. Daddy helped me put it on. It fit me perfectly. The sweater went from my neck down to my legs comfortably. I thanked him and let him open the door to let me outside. I jumped into the snow. I realized it was a bad idea. It was taller than me and covered me completely. It was extremely cold. I jumped right out and landed inside. I shook off the snow. I heard him laugh at me for chickening out. I put a sad look on my face.
I felt my daddy pick me up and apologize to me. I smiled back at him and asked if I could go back outside. The answer was a yes. I squirmed my way out of his arms and went out into the snow. I played in the snow for hours. Having to go in when it started melting. I really enjoyed it though. I took off the sweater with my teeth and hooves. I set the now wet sweater back in its box.
I went to sit down in my chair and go to sleep before it got to cold. The snow already made it too cold for me to sleep in. I see my Daddy lying down on his couch. I use my hoof to turn on the racing channel to watch until I heated up. An hour later though I was even colder than before because of the window I just realized was open. I shut it immediately. I was still cold though. I jumped my way onto my Daddies couch and crawled my way under his arm. His body heat warmed me up fast. I fell asleep within the hour.
I knew I was dreaming. I enjoyed it immensely. I was flying. I jumped off of the tree in the yard and fluttered my wings. Flying a large distance away from it, then turning around and making it back home. Daddy was so happy we went inside and we baked a cake. The snow also stayed all week. So my Daddy didn’t leave the house. It was a great dream.
I woke up when I felt my Daddy covering me up with is blanket. I snuggled myself more into the nook of his arm before going to sleep again. I happily left myself open to the happy dreams that I would experience.

Yes, this was probably terrible…but I rather enjoyed writing this one.
