Taking care of a growing caterpillar alien-like green dog named, of all things, Dog was a tiring business, even if you were the wunderkind. Lash mostly went with it (still quite unsure if it was male or female or asexual or...SOMETHING it was called It for now) tied around in a bright red leash, as she had seen some pictures of kids with their dogs.

Recently it had been a lot more sluggish than before, and Lash wasn't sure why. It looked...tired? At first she thought she had been feeding it bad things for its diet, but it still ate food. In fact it ate even more than before. Having its life as her responsibility was rather weird for her, but since it had demanded a walk that morning, she had followed along, content to watch it's tiny little feet waddle across the fields.

That's when she noticed Kate and gave her a wave, unknowing she was possibly still sleeping.
