Cabin Fever - The End of Winter

Him and her have denied me access to the computer for months. But they are away this weekend.

It has been a long winter. A long cold winter. I want warmth. I want sun. I want out.

I try going out. I stand by the door, they open it, my nose gets cold, I retreat. I eat food to replenish my energy. Again, I stand by the door, again they open it, again my nose gets cold. Obviously I still need more food. I try for a third time and finally my body has stored enough calories that I can go out. But only for a minute, then my paws get cold. I stand pathetically, staring in the door, with one cold paw lifted, until they slowly realize that I want inside. But now the good part, they feed me treats. They are tasty.



After my paws warm up I go out again, wait a few minutes, then return. But they give me no treats this time! Maybe they forgot! So I go out yet again and return. Still no treats! I tire of this foolishness.

I go and find a warm spot and sleep. By myself. All my myself.
