Winged Seed Chase

I squeezed right through the crack in the patio screen to get into the open air! The moment my paws hit the rough terracotta tiles, a dry winged maple seed went twirling end-over-end across the floor, spinning like crazy in the wind! I scrambled after it immediately, skidding on the stone and leaning hard into the turn. Right as another gust tried to sweep it through the railing gaps, I lunged forward and slammed both front paws down flat! The thin wing crunched underneath, but the little round seed stayed trapped firmly against the floor. I caught the whirl!
