A Smooth Wooden Button

A round wooden button was resting right where the floorboards meet the thick wool rug. I sat down quietly in front of it and watched it catch the soft evening lamplight. When I tapped its edge with one plush paw, it gave a tiny wobble, rolled half a turn across the grain, and nestled snug against the rug's fringe. It didn't bounce away or make a sound. I tucked both paws close against my chest and rested right there, happy to keep watch over my quiet discovery as night settled in.#dogs#bullmastif
