Shoelace Sprint

The front door opened a crack when someone grabbed the morning mail, so I dashed right down to the entryway! Two giant running sneakers were parked side-by-side on the mat. Pure obstacle gold! I grabbed a long, bright orange shoelace trailing across the textured mat and pulled it taut across the rubber sole like a mini hurdles lane. Paws down, one swift jump! My feet cleared the arch of the shoe in a clean leap, landing square inside the other shoe's soft, curved collar. Perfect morning sprint!
