I don't know what is wrong with my dog Coco lately, but I think she may be in denial.

Just a week ago, there was six inches of ice in the yard as a result of the sleet storm which hit the area. I had gotten quite used to walking on top of it by sliding my feet, and Coco was having running and skidding around in the yard. It was like having our own private glacier, and it was strikingly similar to those which take millions of years to form.

Well, today the temperatures spiked into the sixties, which resulted in a huge meltdown! This cause the glacier formations to melt in odd-looking shapes, not unlike the melting icebergs which are known for trapping polar bears.

I kid you not.

I don't know which one looks more ominous, but I think they both look like something which would have triggered Salvador Dali's paranoia.

You'd think maybe Coco would be alarmed, or at least concerned, but look at her.

Yes. Definitely denial.
