Melissa, I've been following your posts about Easel with joy! She sounds like she's really found her way into your heart (like she did mine :)). The first time she weasel-war-danced was a day to remember. I was afraid she would never be able to do that and the look of joy on her face was wonderful to behold! You mentioned her leg was amputated, however, she was born that way (I saw her the day she was born, at a nearby breeders, and there was no signs that mom had tried to "help" her out). The breeder asked if I wanted her or else he would "have her put down". Of course I said I would take her and I went over to visit her at least 2-3 times weekly to watch her progress and give her lovin'. She was the first in the litter to open her eyes (with a physical handicap that may have been a survival trait, so she could see the food before the rest). She did get sores when she first started to crawl around and I had the breeder apply a salve that seemed to help her heal quickly. Since then she has had no problems except when she plays long and hard, her poor little stump would get a little red. Thanks for sharing her stories with us (me)!!
