A
Day In Colorado
What
does a day in Colorado consist of? Well that depends of when and
where you are in the state. Let's start with winter. The air has a
bitter chill and a little sprinkle of white fluffy snow dusts the
ground. In the city, the snow is mushy and cold. It has a layer of
black on it and seems to never melt. Outside of the city, Colorado
looks like a winter wonderland. The trees are sparkling white. They
glitter as the sun shines around them and they perfectly decorate the
snowy peaks that form after someone shovels their sidewalk. Children
wear mittens and everyone is bundled up with cherry pink cheeks and
noses. Following winter is the ever glorious spring. We see fresh
life and baby birds can be heard chirping. Green sprouts are busting
through the dead yellow grass leftover from winter. Overnight, the
scene is dotted with every color from the rainbow as tulips, roses
and columbines begin to bloom. Kites begin to soar and laughter from
children fills the air. This leads to summer, hot, dry summer. The
day begins hot and gets hotter as the sun slowly cruises through the
sky. There is no relief without a fan or A/C and pools are packed to
the brim. Many evenings we get to view one of Colorado's most
spectacular sights, a thunderstorm rolls in just as the day gets too
hot. With lightening flashing and torrential downpours, a beautifully
frightful storm erupts around us. This brings us to fall. We begin to
get some sweet relief from the hot summer. The days cool as the
leaves turn vibrant red and orange. The life of plants begins to fade
into a fiery red scene of fallen leaves. School is beginning again
and people start to pull out their sweaters. Halloween and
Thanksgiving give us something to look forward to as we round out the
last of our nice days. Colorado has the prettiest skies in pink,
purple, blue and orange and our mountains always seem to be capped
with snow. Our people here are very kind and we certainly do love our
beer. Nothing beats a day in the sunshine state especially with our
ski resorts, peaches and sand dunes. I love you Colorado.

Diaries: Getting Older
My
people had me fixed many months ago and I no longer have a zest for
life. I feel I have entered into my middle ages. I have begun to grow
white hairs on my whole face and I love to sleep. I have also begun
to grow a gut. Before I was so very fit but now I am getting a little
fluffy. I really should get more exercise but it is really just too
hot out to be running around my yard. The heat is scorching and I
feel like I will just melt out of my fur. My people recently learned
that I do not like the vacuum. They follow me around with it and make
me growl at it. It sounds so loud and angry and I am pretty sure it
will suck me up. It is still so hot so I will go eat Sage's food and
go back to sleep. Until next time.
