Today I learned something important about myself.

I am brave.
I am resilient.
I am adaptable.

And yet… the boots betrayed me.

This morning, the snow called.
My humans answered with footwear.

Not just any footwear — boots.
Tiny, confusing, life-altering boots.

At first, I stood very still.
Because if I didn’t move, maybe my feet would remember who they were.

Then I took a step.
And another.
And suddenly I was walking like a baby deer who just discovered jazz.

Did I like them?
No.

Did I need them?
Apparently yes.

Did I eventually accept my fate and strut through the snow like a fashionable marshmallow with opinions?
Also yes.

Please enjoy this historic footage of me learning that sometimes love looks like warm paws… and a very weird walk.
