Here is a list of things I found (and maybe just thought I found?) while digging in the snow the past few days:

• Rocks (many rocks in many different shapes and many different sizes and I ate about three)
• Very sad looking grass (I ate about three)
• Frozen rabbit skeleton (tried to chew on but hurt mouth)
• Leaves (sad looking (I ate about three)
• More snow (so much (where does it all come from/go?)
• Ice (licked for a very long time, regretfully)
• Less snow (this was a strange turn of events)
• A can
• Another can
• A third can
• There have been far too many cans
• What I thought was a fourth can but actually turned out to be another rock (again, many rocks)
• Part of a plastic shovel that did not do a good job being a shovel maybe
• Part of a rodent tail (not Rob (the squirrel)’s, thankfully)
• An apple?
• Nope, not an apple
• I do not know what that was
• It was definitely not an apple
• Whatever it was upset my stomach
• A good place to take a nap
• A bad place to take a nap
• More ice (licking occurred again)
• Twigs that are frozen solid (reserved for chewing at a later date)
• Very flat leaves
• What looks like deer fur
• Wait…
• Where is he?
• The deer across the river?
• Where?
• He has been here, has he not?
• Maybe he did not survive the storm
• There is more fur…
• …but not enough to make me believe the deer across the river met his demise
• He is somewhere nearby
• I can almost smell him
• I found the river
• The river is mostly ice
• I do not see any fish
• I do not see the deer
• Did the deer abscond with all the fish?
• Why would he do this?
• Because he knows I like fish, that is why
• I will wait for him to return
• …
• …
• …
• I fell asleep?
• He has not returned
• Dumpster snow
• An actual apple
• So many apples
• Why are there so many apples in this snowy dumpster
• I will eat them
• The deer
• These are my apples
• Please
• Leave me alone
• What a horrible sound
• Why do you make this sound?
• How?
• Running
• Forever running
• I do not like the snow

I am a bear.
