Our Three Legged Dog

Our Sadie girl!!

Poor thing!!

She lost her leg after a long battle with trying to get it fixed. In May of 2006 while in the backyard for some free time, she hurt her leg some how. We don't know what happened or how. All we know is when we returned from our 30 minute walk with the kids she was limping pretty bad. So we loaded up the family and took her to the Vet. That was the begining of 8 surgeries the last one resulted in the amputation of her right hind leg. She had a ruptured cruciate ligament, which is the most common knee injury for a dog. After several unsuccessful surgeries the arthritis set in, it was so far into the bone that our vet was not able to save the leg.
