More Short Legged Dogs
Here are my two hounds from hell. The shy one on the right is Ushi 8yrs old. We adopted her from my father in law when he had to go into assisted living. The smart aleck on the right is Tucker 6yrs old. They are both miniature Dachshunds and weigh anywhere between 12 & 15 lbs depending level of activity.
Tucker ruptured a disc in his back about 1 1/2 yrs ago and was paralyzed within hours. We opted for major surgery to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord, and many many many months later he slowly began to walk again. He still has some paralysis and permanent nerve damage, but he walks with joy even if it looks a little odd. He really just wishes he could still scratch his ears when he needs to.
