(A Final note from Tech Support: It's been a while since Reflex has begun her readjustment back into the world of technology, luxury, and roofs; but we just realized that we never posted the most important thing.  When she FINISHED the trail!  Here's the post for this monumental achievement, and her victory pose.)
