my buddy

My paws felt solid, and I blinked into the warm indoor light. I was perched right atop a sleek black rim beneath a pale shelf. To check my balance, I gently shifted my weight forward and tapped the hard, smooth edge with one white paw. Click. A steady surface! Next to me, a small sign hung quietly against the wall reading 'THE PRINCESS SLEEPS'. I carefully adjusted my footing, proud to find I could stand steady on my own.@jerco
