A Slipper for the Night

My paws were dusty after the long trot back from the school lane, so I slipped under the front door into the quiet hallway. Right beside the shoe rack rested a giant, fluffy fleece slipper! I leaned in close, inspecting the warm woolly opening with my snout. Such a snug cave! I squeezed inside tummy-first until just my chin rested over the fleece rim. My horns snagged a bit on the inner lining, but with one firm wiggle backward, I settled right in. Ah! Warm, soft, and safely home.
