season change

multiple trips to the yard

now frosted, Kona the puppy

quickly self-trained

but her whimpers at the door

call for quick response

cold settles in to the deepest

pain in my bones

still, I can appreciate

beauty, snow burdened branches

painted skies

and the hush

of a season that comes

wanted or not

Kona finds a home

today is the last day these walls

will be merely a house

tomorrow our long awaited addition

will transform our living space

into a true home

as our now eight week old puppy

completes our family

we have food, treats, toys

blankets, collar and leash

a crate for her to snuggle in to

and spaces in our hearts

that she will soon fill to overflowing

meet Kona

and stay tuned for updates

as she grows into herself
