The next day, his mother cleaned him and let him nurse.

A few weeks later it was the beginning of January. It was still snowing and it was 30 degrees outside.

He had grown a furry coat.

He had a brown and white coat and a white tail.

He loved frolicking around in the snow. He sometimes ate the snow.

His first spring was coming up and he His first spring was coming up and he was really excited. His mother told was really excited. His mother told him that the grass was delicious and him that the grass was delicious and
