A Nightime Visit to Burdock

Burdock was on his own when I stopped by the cave on the last night in January. I could see by the set of small porcupine tracks sliding down the steep slope outside the den, that he had been out foraging, and saw a place where he had been feeding on hemlocks. Still, he seemed very happy to see me, and happy to sit on my lap and have some biscuits.
