SQUIRREL!

Winter is the best, by a dog:

“Oh my god. Oh boy, wow. Ahhh I can’t sit still. Oh you guys, look! Look, guys! There’s snow! See the snow? Wow. Oh boy. Guys it’s everywhere. It’s all over — I’m going to pee on it. Wait, here? Or here? I do all the spots.

Oh wow. Guys, you can taste the sky. It’s like … oh boy, it’s wet. Wow, it’s cold in your mouth. Guys, guys have you tried this? Guys! Guys! Guys!

Watch mom, now I’m gonna run really, really super fast. Now I run even bigger, this time the fastest time! See? DO YOU SEE? I’M RUNNING! Oh boy. I’m gonna zip this way, but wait because I zag dis way. Running is the grea — HI, Rosie! Hi, Rosie! Hi, Rosie! Hiiiii, Rosie! Rosie. Rosie. Rosie. Hi!!! —  Rosie is my fran, she’s the greatest. Oh, wow.”

This, friends, is the job hunting energy we are channeling in February. Let’s chase our dreams the way the doggo runned so fast because the snow and the cold and he jumped and oh boy, wow!
