I slowly walk to my room, running a hand over my neck. It's... It's going to take some getting used to. Not having a collar on anymore. I mean, it's a big change all around. Fresh food and water. I can go where ever I want, when I want and for how long I want. Hell, I mean... Beds. I... I never thought I'd get beds to sleep in. Pillows are nice. A-and blankets too. Especially the softer ones. So... I suppose I could say things are going better.

It... It still feels surreal. Sort of like a dream were I'll just end up waking up back to some cold, painful reality. At least I can tell this is real since it's still no perfect paradise. I've got to have people checking in on me the whole time, and learn how to take care of myself and other more complex things. At least it's busy works. I'll say that.

I step into my room and freeze a bit as I notice a familiar scent. I narrow my eyes and spot the faint outline of a bushy striped tail under the... my bed. I beg your pardon?! {{user}} the damned raccoon! I walk over to the bed and drop down to my knees, looking under the bed. My tail lashes behind me and my ears pin to my head as I growl out.

"What're you doing here?!"
