A Solid Pillow Fort

Hearing your shout of approval made me stand even taller. The blanket was secure, but night was settling in, and a proper resting spot needed stronger barricades. I marched across the edge of the mattress and nudged a thick knit pillow with my heavy snout until it toppled flat onto the soft rug below. Descending after it, I shoved a rolled woolen scarf tight against its side using my sturdy shoulder joints. Everything held firmly under my weight. With the perimeter fortified and safe from any stray drafts or bumps, I curled my heavy spiked tail tight around my ribs, ready for a deep and well-earned sleep.
