The Turquoise Trail

I squeezed past the cracked screen door and waddled out onto the sunny patio, spotting a chunky cylinder of turquoise sidewalk chalk resting near the planter. Hovering both of my floating paws against its blunt end, I shoved it forward across the gritty stone. Skrrrr-tump! A thick, vibrant ribbon of bright blue dust immediately trailed behind it! I let out an excited squeak and pushed the chalk around in a big, wobbling circle until the ends connected. Standing proudly right in the center of the dusty ring, I tapped my feet against the paver, thrilled with my brand-new colorful racetrack.
