The Welcome Home Ribbon

Hearing your soft words wiped away every single worry in my plush heart, and I couldn't wait to prepare a warm welcome beacon for you! Night had settled gently over the living room, and Maci with our pups were already dozing softly. Right by the foot of the low bookshelf, I spotted a wide, shiny golden satin ribbon lying curled beside a smooth green wooden bead. I braced my front paws firmly on the braided rug, rolled the bead with my snout straight into the ribbon's loop, and nudged both snug against the shelf leg. Under the amber floor lamp, it looked just like a glowing welcome medal for your return.
