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.
I love her. She's very sweet.

ReplyDeleteYou 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...
ReplyDeleteShe looks very nice laying in the sunshine. Seems like we all can learn lessons from our pets.
ReplyDeleteShe'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.
