around my ankles

We are having a flu epidemic here, so I am just over it, I hope, and I enjoyed the hiaku during our coldest spell this winter.I'd like to be the one walking with the cat in the snow. (And then rushing inside to the fireplace.)

Thank you! I do not have a cat right now,
but the joy of the relationship is
wonderfully stated in this haiku!
