The Yellow Chalk Path

I squeezed past the garden gate and trotted down the sidewalk, determined to stretch my legs at the neighborhood park! Right on the asphalt path sat a giant hopscotch court sketched in chunky yellow chalk. Eager to test my athletic agility, I nudged a flat river pebble with my round paw, sliding it straight into square number two. Taking a determined running start, I launched forward with a squeak of my vinyl feet—hop, wobble, plant! I landed squarely in the first box, throwing both paws wide to catch my balance as my little bell chimed excitedly. I conquered the morning course!
