Sometimes dreaming is even better than making plans" says Houndsley, as he enjoys the quiet time brought about by a major snowstorm.

"It's Satutrday, and friends Houndsley, Catina, and Bert always go to the library. But when the trio arrives, librarian Trixie is sad. She doesn't tell a joke or recommend a book.
