Must Have The Precious

One look at Typhoon hoarding his chunks of ice and J.R.R. Tolkien’s character Gollum comes to mind protecting “My Precious” from others.

We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious.
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious.

With apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien (whom the Hu-Dad read many years ago as a wee lad), the character of Gollum and his precious ring popped to mind as we watched Typhoon hoard his favorite possession from snowstorms—ice. He roots through the yard, breaks off chunks, and piles them to chew. We think the side-eye warning to stay away from his precious ice sums it up perfectly.

    Typhoon, you are just too funny. But we know with that side eye glance you mean business with your ice. Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo. Have fun and enjoy your day.
