Weird Dog!
I had Brandy out in the snow today and noticed she was walking funny. I have seen this before but dismissed it thinking I was just seeing things. She seemed to be able to run well. She stands up or her hind legs to beg for a treat. I have watch her play with Molly and she didn’t seem to be in any pain. Yet as I watched her closely today her hind legs seemed to be bending backward. I called the Vet. and was told to bring her in about 3:00 pm and they would look at her then.
Just a little before 3 we arrived. I have to say I was concerned. I kept thinking I should have paid closer attention to her sooner.
Dr. Buck looked her over and announce she was double jointed. She stands very straight, goes on tip toes, then breaks what ever that means. She assured me there is nothing wrong I just have a weird dog. I replied that was all right she lives with a weird family. Brandy just gave me one more reason to love her plus the ones I had already! She weighs 9.2 pounds now so she isn’t quite the piggy I thought she was.
