My Actifit Report Card: June 29 2024
Hey Actifitters,
The very humid heat was back again yesterday, very uncomfortable. So after a very late start, as always on week ends, we started slowly. But I found plenty to do inside the house, where the A/C kept a nice temperature. But later in the afternoon, of course we planned our long walk with Kaia. Before we started, I sprayed her with the garden hose, making sure the water reached her under coat, so that it would keep her cool for some time.
As usual, our first stop was behind the front yard. I noticed that for the second day in a row, Kaia spent time in the same area of the front yard, and I quickly understood why. Even I could smell the stench. Two dead raccoons were providing a feast to thousands of maggots. Obviously I'm not going to include any photos, but believe me, it was quite disgusting. That reminded me of the strange raccoon from a couple days ago. Like I mentioned, it seems disoriented, almost like drunk. So I started wondering if maybe some neighbors used poison and killed these two raccoons. And that made me very worried as I hadn't seen Le Chat since the night before (no worries by the way, when I let Kaia out around 1am, she came back 15 minutes later with Le Chat, a healthy Le Chat. She probably just found something interesting to do in the woods around the yard). Anyways, Kaia really wanted to check these dead raccoons, and I obviously didn't want her to.
The best option was simply to walk to the forest (where we also found a dead raccoon a few days ago...).
We could for sure see the effect of the heavy rain overnight and in the morning. Of course, that blur in the corner is Kaia rushing into the puddle...
She's so happy splashing around!
Even with the heat, we made our quick detour for a couple of Cubiverse vaults. Unlike most days, the sun was still high above the trees.
Kaia could cool down in all the other puddles we found when we went back into the forest.
She could do that all day!
Our loops in the neighborhood on our way back were a bit shorter than usual, but we didn't skip them completely.
We still had daylight after we came back and I felt I needed more exercise. It was too hot for a run, so I decided to go cycling for a bit. Not very long though, as the sun was already very low on the horizon.
I found some interesting clouds formations before it got really dark.
And that was it for the day's activities. Step count is over the bar in #poprzeczka competition. My original goal was to resist until the end of the month, now I think I can maybe go a few more days. We'll see how the week starts.
As always, thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow.

Whew! Glad to know that LeChat is okay. It's scary when furbabies go missing even for a few. I've lost a couple of kitties and it's sad. Are raccoons considered pests there? Who gets to clean up the remains? Great job on your step count. Happy new month ahead!

Thanks!
Yeah, that was a bit scary. I know Le Chat usually does her own thing, but she still stops by several times a day, at least to ask for food. This time she was gone almost a full 24 hours. Easy to start imagining things with these two suspicious dead raccoons. Luckily all good now! I'm sorry you lost kitties, it is indeed very sad.
Not sure if they're really considered pests. It's in my yard, so I am responsible. But I found them after a couple days, with the efficiency of the maggots, half of one was gone, and just a little bit of the other was left... And I couldn't really do anything with all these maggots. Today, it's pretty much just some bones, and some fur. Disgusting... For now, I'll let nature finish the work. I did have to mow the lawn around it. If I had found them sooner, I could have called animal control. They can try and check the reason for the deaths. Last year, they found at least 2 cases of rabies in dead raccoons in the area. Oh no... It got me curious and I just checked symptoms of rabies in raccoons, this looks exactly like that one from a few days ago in the yard that was acting almost drunk. I may have to call animal control anyways. Both Kaia and Le Chat are vaccinated but still I'm a bit worried again now and I'm thinking I might need the shots too... I guess I found something to check tomorrow!
Have a good week and awesome new month!
