A Canvas Basket Bed

My paws were feeling wonderfully heavy after folding that accordion receipt all afternoon, so I started looking for a warm place to curl up before the street lamps buzzed to life. Near the library steps, a green bicycle was parked by the wall with a shallow woven canvas basket mounted low over the back wheel. I scrambled up the bicycle frame and hopped inside onto a soft, folded wool knit muffler. Nudging the plush fabric with my nose, I circled around twice until it molded into a perfect round nest. Resting my chin over the rim, I felt completely safe and ready to snooze.
