Jazztastic

Sometimes she hangs around the house, and sometimes she hobbles up the road to stay with Martin for a few days. If she stays away too long, her arthritis acts up and she is in obvious pain when she returns. Yes, a three-legged dog can "limp." When she's home I feed her glucosamine every night before going to bed. Having three legs is enough of a challenge without adding joint pain and stiffness. She's ten years old now and been without her right front leg for nine of them. She's a trooper and she doesn't complain. I could learn a thing or two from her.

  3. You should send a note on her collar next time she goes away. Maybe he wouldn't mind giving her a pill or two while she visits...

  4. She looks very nice laying in the sunshine. Seems like we all can learn lessons from our pets.

  5. She's gone again. She spends a few days here and then a few there. If I take the van out for a few hours, she decides it's time to go.
