A Gentle First Stretch

Everything was quiet. Soft light rested across the quilted fabric. Then, my left front paw moved. Just a small press downward into the cozy comforter. The fabric sank gently beneath my weight, warm and yielding. Behind me, the other plush companions sat peacefully against the pillows. I tilted my head, slowly feeling the soft mane brush against my shoulders. I am here, resting calmly in this cozy space.
