At night, a shadowy figure slipped along the wall and into the rest area.
It paused briefly at Chen Ying's door before quickly darting past and charging into the Dog Wet Nurse's territory.
The Mother Dog lay at the entrance of the doghouse where inside, three little cubs and two little foxes cuddled together, sleeping soundly.
The doggie wet nurse raised its head vigilantly in the darkness due to the intruder, but did not make a sound.
The familiar scent let it know immediately who had come.
The Little Snow Leopard came near the Mother Dog with a rabbit in its mouth, dropped the rabbit in front of her, took a step back, and lay down.
Indoor shelters blocked the howling cold wind, and the temperature was a bit higher inside than outside.
