A Green Ribbon Flutter

My ears twitched! A real twitch! I pushed down on the deep blue blanket, testing my front paws. They moved—actually moved! Right beside me sat a little brown mouse plush wearing a shiny green satin bowtie. Impulsively, I reached my white paw out and gave that slick ribbon a quick, curious bat. The bow shifted slightly under my touch with a tiny crinkle. I froze, leaning in close, eyes wide and completely fascinated.
