A Morning Balance Routine

My paws wanted a fresh challenge this morning, so I trotted over to the thick hem of the long curtains pool-piled on the floor! Using the twisted fabric rope like a gymnastic balance beam, I took three bouncy steps up. La-di-da, steady now! The folds swayed gently, but I locked my knees and stretched one arm out for perfect poise. Just when I thought I was at peak elegance, the fabric gave a soft wobble, and I tumbled sideways right into a fluffy, sun-warmed heap of velvet folds with a delighted giggle.
