Firestone Hot Springs Pride comes before fall

It had become colder during the past few days and Osprey often woke up early in the morning with her paws cold and body stiff. Her den was quite big and she alone couldn't warm it up enough to make it a comfortable place to have a nap in dropping temperatures. Therefore she had tried to find another warmer place to stay and, when her search had proved to be fruitless, she decided to head to the only place that would always be hot, in spite of the weather outside.

The temperature around the Hot fire springs was remarkably warmer and she made the last mile to the spot, leaping fast, happy to dive in the hot mist and fumes that surrounded the area. She closed her eyes and basked in the warmth, smiling and remembering the beautiful summer days, when there had been plenty of sunshine. It was then that she noticed another possible warmth-seeker in the distance. Osprey froze and observed the stranger in order to decide, what to do next.
