We took Pepper to her first vet visit (well, first one she’s had with us) today, and the poor girl was SO scared. Like, Jazzy got scared too, but she would just kind of freeze up, turn into a brick, and let the vet do whatever they needed to her.

Pepper was mashed as small as she could get into the corner of her carrier and was just terrified. She kept emitting this very low growl and would occasionally his VERY softly. These growls and hisses were very different than the “play growls” and “play hisses” she uses with me when we’re fighting (big loud growls, big intimidating hisses).

Poor sweetie! Hopefully she’s just scared because this is the first time we’ve taken her anywhere; we’ll see how she does next year.
