A Bristly Harbor Barrier

Tired of crouching by the cupboard foot, I bolted straight down the polished wooden channel on all fours! Skidding round the far bend, I hit the edge of a massive, bristly black fiber doormat lying before the giant front door. Like a dense coral reef! Clambering up onto the prickly bristles, my paws struck a small wooden coat button discarded among the fibers. Ha! I rolled it upright with both plush paws, wedging it firm between two thick tufts. A stout little harbor barrier right at the canyon's edge!
