Trouble with Ice

Now this is the story all about how my life got quick turned upside. I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there and I'll tell you how I became the prince of that ice storm out there!! (Sing previous lines to Fresh Prince theme song to get the full effect!)

As you know, the ice storm came to my house this year. Many Oklahomans lost electricity. Luckily we did not at our house. Therefore, we got to stay home and play! My favorite part was playing in the front yard on the crunchy grass. (click on the photos to enlarge the icy cold details.)

While I was playing, I noticed something moving in the bushes. What could it be??? I got a few steps closer and......POW! A cat ran right out in front of my face. Being the good hunting dog that I am, I decided to chase it.

I was off....but the cat was moving as fast as lighting. So I picked up the pace only to find out that the driveway was covered with layers of ice. You know what that means right.....no traction. The cat dashed around the car but my paws could not get figure out the ice and before I knew it....SPLAT!

That's right! A simple game of chase with the neighborhood cat ended in destruction. How was I to know that lack of traction in the driveway would lead to hitting the side of mom's car with a BANG? Even though I didn't leave a dent in the car and I got right back up to chase the cat from our yard, my dad was not happy. He sternfully brought me back inside the house. At least I got a little bit of excitement during the ice storm. It was definitely worth the punishment!
