Right, I figured his size and weight might have something to do with it, my little runner is so streamlined and small she can glide for a good 50 feet haha, no such ability with my boy!
Yeah, I’ve been really wanting to find another pool solution for them, currently using one of those giant...
Hi! Thank you so much for your reply! I’m thinking it’s a sprain as well, definitely a chance he hopped down from the pool wrong! It’s hard to tell with the swelling because of the odd shape of their lower legs. I may just be imagining it, I’ll try to add a pic later today!
