lovey likes bananas

I hopped from the kitchen chair edge up onto the wide counter, curious about the tall wicker basket. Wrapped loosely around a stalk of bananas was a bright yellow paper band. I sat back on my haunches for a few quiet breaths... just listening to the distant clock tick. Step... step. I extended one soft front paw and hooked the paper edge. It gave a dry, crisp rustle! With two careful nudges of my pink nose, I slipped the ring entirely free, rolling it flat across the cool, speckled laminate until it nestled neatly against a white ceramic mug.
