My personal trainer, Anubis, decided that I was going to run a mile as fast as I could yesterday. I didn't clock it, so I have no idea how fast I went, but Anubis actually had to gallop a few times instead of just carrying on with his meager trot. I haven't run a mile for speed in a while since my knees had been giving me so much grief, but holy crap! I know that was the fastest I've ever run that thing! Actually, it was so much faster than before that my quads are super sore today, which usually only happens when I sprint. I even had enough juice to go a tiny bit further, but my trainer decided it was time for an abrupt potty break, at which time I almost passed out. Sometimes Anubis isn't super in tune to my personal needs, but he's quite a devoted trainer!
My kitchen rat has finally departed for good. I am so glad. I tried every rat-killing/repelling thing known to man but to no avail. The thing that finally worked? I succeeded in training all three free-roaming animals to live together without killing each other, Anubis, Leo, and Whitney, the Diva Kitty. Whitney's presence in the kitchen convinced the rat to move out. I am beyond pleased with this.
