We have a theory about Pebbles, our 18 month old 11 pound Pomeranian.
When she was being created, she spent extra time in the "fluffy and
cute" department. Probably overloaded a bit, to be fair. Then, with some
time left, Pebbles filled up on "charming" in the personality
department. What she forgot to do was get in line for decent legs. So,
Pebbles got the leftovers. Our skeletally challenged dreamboat is now
looking for a family to embrace her differences.
Pebbles came to
us after having been found stray. The shelter noticed her odd walk and
reached out to us for help. During her spay, we took x-rays and found
that Pebbles has a deformed front leg (likely from a poorly healed
fracture when she was growing) and was born with poorly seated hips (hip
dysplasia) and luxating patellas. So, Pebbles has one good leg.
We
took Pebbles to the orthopedic specialist to see if anything could be
done. We learned that she would need multiple extensive surgeries to
correct these problems. The recovery would be prolonged and painful with
a higher than desired complication rate. As Pebbles is happy and
comfortable, we elected not to try and rebuild her. She may not be cut
out for marathons or backpacking, but she was born for long cuddles and
romps around the yard.
Pebbles loves all people including kids.
She has been so easy to have in foster as she is crate and potty
trained. Good on a leash, Pebbles loves to meet dogs both on and off
lead. She is still a puppy and is playful and funny. Nothing makes her
happier than a squeaky toy. Pebbles is fine being left alone as long as
her person makes up for their absence with extra hugs. We have not seen
Pebbles around cats but can do an introduction if needed; we suspect
she'd be just fine.
We do wish Pebbles had been granted a better body. But she's obviously perfect anyway. Think yours is the home for Pebbles?
