Fitbit "Bitty"
October 26, 2011-January 4, 2014
Bitty, of Albuquerque, NM, was called to our Lord January 4, 2014, passing away suddenly after a walk at the city zoo. She was 2 years old. Bitty was born in San Francisco in 2011 and moved to Albuquerque October 26, 2011. Her first words included “GOOOAL” and "WOOT," and her consistent daily motivation inspired her owner Dave Bexfield of ActiveMSers.org to walk farther than he thought possible with his multiple sclerosis. The two shared 1,706,523 steps together, some 811 miles of discovery across planet earth. Their single day step record occurred this past fall, 6,100 footsteps, on two hikes in Sedona. Their partnership was threatened several times over the years, including a few close calls with washing machines and a traumatic incident involving a Lost & Found shoebox at a gym, but the pair was eventually reunited without incident. One particularly memorable moment involved a hike in the mountains of New Mexico, when Bitty was accidently left in the car. Not wanting to deprive his beloved Fitbit of the more than 5,000 steps, her owner faithfully shook Bitty as the two drove on. It was only the next day that David realized he had been driving up hill while he was doing this, as Bitty gave him a stamp for 150 flights of stairs climbed that day, besting his all-time high by 146 flights! Bitty is survived by owner Dave Bexfield and her sisters Bitty (owned by Dave's sister) and Bitty (owned by Dave's mother). She will be deeply missed. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the multiple sclerosis organization of your choice.
