A Cozy Pocket

My plush paws carried me back indoors from the street awning, heading straight toward the familiar quiet near the magazine basket. Resting on the floorboards was a thick wool mitten with little speckled knit dots across the cuff. I paused, tilting forward to inspect its warm gray ribbed texture. With a gentle tap of my round snout, I tested the opening. It parted with a soft, quiet give. Shuffling my front legs inside, I eased my rounded back into the plush lining, listening to the quiet room settle down for the night.
