Slidy Shasta

Howdy All,
Shaq here. An amusing thing happened yesterday. Well, I thought it was funny, I don't think Shasta did.
When ever Ray comes home he let's us in after a hard day of patrolling the back yard. We have a nice large yard that requires both of us to patrol constantly, otherwise some cat or other animal will try to horn in on our turf.
When Ray comes home and let's us in, Shasta goes wild and runs full bore straight to the kitchen and runs to the door to the garage. She want's to go for a ride to the park. I must admit I would like to go as well, but I am more dignified and don't see a need for all the theatrics. Well every day Shasta runs to the door.
Normally, she stops just before the door. This was made possible by the carpet that used to be in the kitchen (can you believe carpet in the kitchen?) that gave ample grip for stopping. Well last week Ray had the kitchen and the dining room tiled, as well as the bathrooms. It is very nice and we like it a lot. Very cool to lay out on, on those hot summer days and nights. I can stretch out and relax very nice.
Oh, back to the story. Well when Ray opened the door for us on Friday Shasta came rushing in and ran full speed to the kitchen. She put on the brakes to stop and found that she was still going forward, she started to back peddle, but to no avail. Thump. She went straight into the door. She got up and shook it off and looked at the door then looked at Ray, then looked at me.
I was rolling on the floor laughing, Ray ran over to give her a hug and make sure she was all right (she was). We didn't get to go out, as it was raining.
Hope each of you are enjoying your summer. Shasta and I are doing fine. Ray seems to be doing ok, but you never know with him. It is starting to get hot in Austin, with several days in the 90 degree range. When that happens we can go under the addition to the house where we have a nice large area to hang out. It is always cool under there, just like being in a cave.
Well that is the story of Slidy Shasta.
Shaq
