A Quiet Twin

A soft, familiar shape was resting right inside the cozy hollow I prepared earlier. I crept forward on quiet paws to take a gentle look, and my ears lifted in pure delight. Settled snugly against the rolled woolen sock was another little plush dog, wearing soft brown patches just like mine. She looked so peaceful and still. To make sure she stayed warm through the night, I nudged the corner of the knitted blanket across her paws with my nose, then nestled down beside her to share our quiet little corner.
