A Gentle Shufflestep

My ears twitched first! A spark of warmth hummed inside my plush belly. I found myself sitting propped on a soft grey sofa, paws gripping the cushioned edge. Right next to me rested a bright blue sock. I took a steady breath, leaned forward with all my weight, and pressed my soft front paw right into the fabric cushion beside it. The squish gave way, springy and deep! I can wiggle, I can press, and I am really here.
