All this time she has been getting up and down from that perch. I saw her getting down one day but never caught her getting up there.. Today I did! I didn't have the camera with me and had to go back to get it but I saw how she does it. She stretches her front paws up as high as she can get them, using them to pull herself up, using her back legs to help steady her and push with what little she can. Once she had her top body up onto the perch, she braces herself by stiffening her back legs and pressing against the sides to hold the bottom half steady until she gets her top half where she wants it..

Here she is on her way up..




This is the hole that helps her get up there..


I just wish I had seen her study how to do it before she attempted to do it the first time.. THAT would have been amazing to watch! She spends every day there now that she figured out how to do it.

I am SO proud of that little girl and the things she accomplishes
