Tissy Pretends she is Sailing

Tissy is reading the best book she’s ever read. Her tummy is full of Kibble, she has been greatly fed. You can come off the shelf if you want, her owner said. But Tissy is happy in her sailing ship, she has named Ed. Surrounding her on other shelves are seashells and such. For Tissy loves the sound of the waves and the beaches so much. She is terrified of water, but she loves her boat with a sail. The novel she is reading helps her envision some wind and a gale. If her boat tips, she will probably fall off the shelf. Says a mischievous person, a lost Christmas elf. Let’s expect the best, I say, for she is cozy and happy. And if she gets sleepy, she can take a small nappy.
