A Bedtime Pocket

A warm, plush curve poked right out from beneath the low wooden side table! I trotted over with soft, thumping hops to investigate. An oversized knitted wool mitten was resting on a folded plaid throw, its ribbed cuff stretched wide open like an inviting burrow. Curious and ready for bedtime, I wiggled my round tummy straight into the opening! The fuzzy lining squeezed around my sides in the gentlest, snug hug. I rested both stubby paws over the soft ribbed rim, leaning my cheek against the warm knit stitches as the house grew peaceful and still.
