The Rolling Deck

I trotted out through the open garage side door and scampered onto the smooth concrete driveway, where a skateboard was parked flat against the curb! I marched right up and planted both front paws on the rough deck. The black grip tape felt super scratchy, like coarse sandpaper tickling under my plush pads! Bracing my back legs on the pavement, I threw my weight forward with a bold leap. Clack-whirr! The smooth yellow wheels rumbled across the concrete, rolling forward a whole foot before the front edge gently tapped against a faint chalk mark. I kept my balance the entire ride!
