Caught in a Blizzard
The sounds of cupboards slamming echoed throughout the kitchen following shortly after with a disgruntled bark. Soon after, Hosea made his presence known within the kitchen by growling loudly, “Nothing! Nada!”
Meanwhile in the living room of the apartment complex, Judy glanced over from the couch to witness Hosea pacing back and forth, still in search of any sort of sustenance. She quietly watched as his nose twitched and quivered as he sniffed the air. Then when he had finished, Judy watched as Hosea let out a small grunt as he leaned against the counter. She eyed how he rubbed his paunch in frustration as he announced, “How can there be no food? I could’ve sworn I picked up plenty earlier this week!”
“With an appetite like yours, you’re really that surprised?” Judy said, shifting her gaze away from Hosea and toward the window, now watching as the flakes of snow seemed to cover most of everything in the outside with a blanket of white fluff.
“Was that a fat joke?” Hosea grunted, marching over to Judy’s side.
Judy at first said nothing. Her gaze was still captured by the cold tundra developing outside. “It’s as white as my fur out there,” Judy said under her breath.
Hosea’s ear flicked. Leaning down to her level, Hosea said, “Yeah, and as cold too.”
Judy quickly gave Hosea a nasty glare.
“I kid, I kid,” Hosea chuckled. “I’ve forgotten that you’re not used to this kind of weather. It’s a shame though you’re experiencing it like this. When it snows like this, it means that we’re gonna have to get used to staying inside. Enjoy the cabin fever.”
Judy’s ear drooped, “But I really wanted to try that restaurant we saw earlier. It looked nice.”
“In case you’ve forgotten with that attention span of yours, it’s snowing majorly out there. Blizzard equals baaad.”
“It’s a shame though,” Judy said, getting up and stretching. Turning toward Hosea, she patted him on the shoulder, “I can survive without a meal, but can you? Being trapped here with absolutely nothing? As I once heard it said, ‘Enjoy the cabin fever.’”

“’Enjoy the cabin fever,’ she said!” Hosea spat as he slumped back in the driver’s seat, narrowing his brow as he watched the hood of his trunk envelope in smoke. “I swear, you jinxed it! Now we’re same position as we were before. We’re stuck!”
Judy sank a little back in her seat as Hosea exited the car, popping open the trunk. She watched as he waved away the smoke to study the engine. After, he shuffled back over to the driver’s side and fell back into the driver’s seat in frustration, letting gravity take control of the force of the impact. Judy slightly jumped from the sudden jolt of Hosea throwing himself back into the driver’s seat. When he had closed the door, Hosea announced, “Low on antifreeze or something. The engine is busted.”
“So we’re stranded here in the snow?” Judy asked.
“Very observant. Remind me to reward you with a gold star later,” Hosea said, crossing his arms, narrowing his gaze on the fading cloud of smoke coming from the engine.
“So what are we going to do?” Judy questioned.
Taking a moment to answer her, Hosea twiddled his thumbs as he rested his hands across his stomach shelf as he leaned back. “If I had to give an honest response,” Hosea answered. “We’re gonna have to wait it out. The snowfall doesn’t seem to be lifting any time soon. When it does, I guess we’ll walk.”
“I see,” Judy said, glancing out the window, noticing how the piles of snow around seemed to have doubled in size since they had left their apartment. Shifting her gaze away, she started to shiver. “Is it possible to heat up this car somehow?”
Hosea shook his head as he pointed at the hood of the car.
“Gotcha,” Judy said, her teeth beginning to chatter. She then observed how she began puffing out cold puffs of air. At first she found it quite intriguing, but the dropping temperature defeated her whimsy as she sniffled, following by a sneeze.
“Ah, I forgot how you’re not used to the cold,” Hosea said.
Shivering once more, Judy snapped, “Sorry if I lack the insulation!”
“Here,” Hosea said, taking off his coat and handing it to Judy.
Judy was hesitant at first to take it. She eyed it and then looked back at Hosea as if she were waiting for him to announce a punch line. When Hosea had gestured again for her to take it, Judy obeyed and wrapped herself within his coat. She took a moment to sigh in relief as a rush of warmth enveloped her body. It felt so comforting that Judy couldn’t help but smile. Turning back to Hosea, she gave a small nod of gratitude before she asked, “You sure you’re fine without your coat?”
“Insulation, remember?” Hosea snickered, patting his side.
Starting to sink in her seat, Judy muttered, “Sorry for the insu—“
“Don’t apologize, just focus on staying warm,” Hosea interrupted. A small grin then stretched across his muzzle, “Besides, we still have that restaurant to look forward too, right? The payment for using my coat as a blanket is that you’re picking up the bill.”
“I knew there was a catch,” Judy grumbled.
With a laugh, Hosea smirked, “And I can’t wait for an all you can eat free meal!”
Sinking further into his coat, Judy said, “Like me, you’re as cold as the snow.”
