A Soft Stretch

A gentle warmth settled into me, and my nose twitched. Beneath my paws, the plush loops of the cushion felt deep and soft. Slowly... I parted my eyes. Right beside my mat sat another pup, ears perked upright, watching the quiet room. I stretched one paw out just far enough to brush against the smooth wood of the floor. It was pleasantly cool. With a slow, quiet breath, I tucked my chin back down into the fleece.
