a drizzle from the previous evening
has formed an ice crusted
landscape
the pups walk gingerly with each step
as an occasional
foot breaks through
the brittle surface
it does not make
for fast yard play
my dogs are stick eaters
they hunt and search
for any piece of twig
breaking the white
terrain
I have no idea
what twigs taste like
perhaps I should try one
they apparently are delicious
delicious enough to fight over
wars have been started
over lesser reasons
