A Bouncing Greeting

I trotted in through the back door from the hardware shop, my paws still twitchy with bounce! Right on the coffee table sat a shiny little smartphone leaning against a ceramic cup, its front camera blinking like an eye. Naturally, I sprang straight onto the table, waved both plush paws wildly in the air, and shouted, "HELLO CARLY!" at the top of my lungs! But my landing bounce was so grand, the tabletop rattled! Whump-wobble—the little phone tipped backwards and landed face-up with a soft clack against a knitted coaster. I bent over, peeking my nose right into the shiny glass screen to make sure Carly heard every single word!
