A Solid Foundation

A tiny warm spark clicked inside my chest! I blinked. My paws weren't glued in place anymore. With a soft nudge, I adjusted my safety hat so it sat nice and snug. Then, I turned toward the smooth white baseboard behind me. Tap, tap! I patted the wooden edge with both front paws. Straight, sturdy, and perfectly level. What a wonderful spot to begin! I gave the mottled carpet beneath me a gentle pat and sat up tall, ready to inspect the rest.
