A Curious Reflection.

I set my felt paws down on the wooden floorboards, wandering past the edge of the hallway rug. The house felt quiet and still this morning. Near the baseboard, a tall floor mirror leaned against the wall. I paused, tilting my head to see another little brown figure with floppy dark ears looking right back at me. Slowly, I lifted one front paw and tapped the cool, smooth glass. The companion in the reflection tapped back instantly, our pads meeting without a sound. I sat quietly on my haunches, watching its nose twitch whenever mine moved.
