Grand Marshal Morning Strut

Hearing you call me beautiful sent my ears twitching with pure pride! I fluffed out my magenta silk cape, snatched up a smooth wooden ruler from the low bench like an official marching baton, and kicked off a grand morning promenade down the hallway runner! High steps, sharp turns, and a snappy clatter from every single badge against my chest—I gave it everything! At the living room doorway, I twirled the ruler between both paws, kicked my lime-green toes high, and dropped into a dramatic, sweeping bow. The silk cape billowed out behind me like a true champion's banner!
