Well, I swore I wouldn't do it again, but I'm back up to 5 dogs! One of my husband's friends breeds Shelties, and a breeder friend of hers had a 3 month old puppy that no one wanted because the little dog's back right leg was fused at the knee and would not bend. He called me at work and asked if we could rescue her. So little Frannie now lives at my house - she was born during Hurricane Frances, so the breeder named her Frannie and it fits. She is really cute! Even with the bum leg, she can run and play and is not in any pain. In fact, she does not know she is different from the other dogs! My 13 year old mutt, Barney, loves Frannie and plays endlessly with her. The other dogs are pretty good with her, and the cat just tries to avoid her. It helps that the dogs are all around the same size, 15 to 20 pounds. Frannie is less than 10 pounds, but with all of her fur, she is as tall as the other dogs. This morning, she untied my shoelace about 10 times!
