On our morning walk,
Moose spotted a mound
of dirt atop the drifted sea
of snow.
the barbed-wire fence lines
and padded across the frozen tundra
to investigate.
He stuck his nose down into the hole,
sniffed around, left his mark
and returned.
Call it a "GroundDog Day Investigation."
Perhaps it was our neighborhood
pocket gopher, Pri-CILL-a,
who poked out her nose to see
how soon Spring will arrive?
