“Where you going?”

“Out to check on Trevor.”

“Why, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong. I just want to make sure he is okay.”

“I see. You suspect he’s been tracking that bunny again, right?”

“It did cross my mind.”

“There must be a foot of snow out there, so you better wear your heavy clothes and boots.”

“Yes, dear.”

“When you two return here, I’ll have a cup of hot chocolate ready.”

“I don’t think Trevor would appreciate it.”

“Very funny. I meant for you, you old goat.”

“I knew that. Just couldn’t help myself.”

“Well, just be careful. Don’t need to be calling 9-1-1 to extract you from the woods.”

“I’ll be careful. Well, I’m off.”

“Good luck.”

“Thank you—.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Look at this. Trevor is right by the step. He didn’t get ten stops.”

“The poor puppy. He must be frozen.”

“Naw. He’s okay, aren’t you, boy?”

“It is a good thing you were worried about him.”

“Well, now, no need to go out there. How about that hot Chocolate?”

“I’m not sure you’ve earned it.”

“Call it a gift then.”

“You are a wise old goat, I’ll give you that.”

  1. As if I’d go out in the snow looking for Trevor! Having said that, we did once spend ages looking for Ulusse. He was subject to epileptic fits and, whilst out walking one day, he ran off into a field of corn that must have been at least half a dozen acres. When he didn’t come back, we assumed he must have had a fit in there. We waited for his return for about an hour then went out in two cars, scouring the area looking for him. He turned up about four hours later and wondered what all the fuss was about. Were GPS trackers available at the time, you can be sure he’d have had one attached to him!

  6. He was a good old goat willing to go out there.
    I took in from the dog’s point of view, “That old goat just HAD to throw the ball one more time!!”

  12. When I lived in CT, my dog would get stuck in the snow and just stand there until I pulled her out. I think she liked the adventure — and pestering me.

  14. I’m not sure who is more clever—the husband for earning his hot cocoa with next to no work, or Trevor for realizing there are some things you just don’t “plow” through. 🙂

    This is perfect reading for me today, as I am snowed in!
