Sun Mote Copse biggest sale of the year

It didn't take long for Dorminos to realize that Colt had been telling the truth about needing a helping hand; there almost seemed to be more pups than adults. Breeding season had only just come to an end so it made sense that there'd be new members to watch over, but this was admittedly more than Dorm had expected. He'd been making an effort to stay as far from the whelping dens, mothers, and children all alike, but it was obviously harder than it sounded. 

He'd set off after a squirrel that morning. It was small, but it was something, so Dorminos held no shame in carrying it to a nearby cache. Along the way, he saw the curious toddler's fiasco and halted, wondering if he should go forward. Dorm dropped the carcass, figuring he could always come back to it, and began to creep carefully forward. Caught something? he laughed, keeping his voice low to avoid startling it.
