ADORABLE CHASE!!!

I threw myself full-speed at an old, fuzzy tennis ball wedged between the wooden deck posts! It was practically as big as my whole torso, and when I shoved it with both paws, it popped loose and went rolling down the sloped grass. I tore after it, barking wildly, and slammed right into it until we both tumbled head over paws into a patch of clover. The scuffed rubber smelled like dirt and sun, and wrestling it was pure fun! I finally pinned the ball flat under my belly, completely exhausted and refusing to let it roll away again.
