A Snug Night Landing
I waddled my bowl straight up the front steps and ducked back indoors just as the night air turned chilly! Squeak! Anchored snugly on the lower wooden shelf of the shoe rack, I found a giant, fuzzy wool slipper resting sideways. Instead of walking around, I scooted my porcelain base right inside the fluffy fleece cavern! *Fwoosh!* The plush sheepskin bunched tightly around my ceramic bowl like a warm downy nest. Tee-hee! I reached out with both stubby palms and gave the soft leather sole a firm slap—*thud-flump!* A whispery, muffled boom hummed right into my headphones. I didn't stir an inch, just stayed glued in place, chuckling in bubbly bursts as the cozy fuzz warmed my rim.
