A Gentle Stretch in the Light

Everything was quiet. Warm sunlight crept across the carpet right in front of us. I waited, watching the dust motes drift, before trying to move my paw. It lifted softly. Leaning forward just an inch from the yellow bed frame, I tapped the fluffy carpet fibers beneath me. The pink plush toy beside me remained still, but I could feel the gentle warmth spreading through my chest. I settled back into line, feeling completely at peace.
