Periodic pet pics! (+ a FastCAT)
Mar. 5th, 2025 09:23 pmToday is Alex's birthday! :D
Unfortunately, I woke up with a sore throat, so I do not seem to have actually dodged the crud going around the office, despite my hopes.

Last Friday Bella had another FastCAT. Alex was surprised to realize this was only her fourth.
(Photo from Alex.) Oh look, it's Bella.
Bella's times at the FastCAT! 10.76 seconds is her current best!
Her second time was slower, which we chalked up to lower endurance after a mostly sedentary winter.
...until later that afternoon after she'd taken a nap, and when she got up she didn't want to put weight on one of her back legs. She could walk on it, just very gimpy. I took a look when I got home, and it looked like it was just some muscle swelling. She probably pulled something during one of the runs, but was still so hyped she wasn't showing it. I was worried that she'd really be struggling on Saturday, since it seemed to stiffen up whenever she was laying down, then slowly improve when she moved around on it... but on Saturday she was absolutely fine, and barely even a little hitchy. So that was a relief!
