Let's celebrate our three legged friends

For those of you that don't know, my little dog Pixie was hit by a car last weekend. She is lucky to be alive but unfortunately lost one of her back legs in the accident. This happened a week ago and already she is doing really well and was going out for 'walkies' two days after it happened.

The vet said that the amputation will not affect her quality of life in the slightest and that she will be chasing squirrels with as much zest and energy that she did before the accident.

The only thing that I can see being a problem is other people and their attitude towards her. On the whole she has experienced a great deal of 'Awww' and 'Bless'. However there is the minority that believes that it would have been kinder to have her 'put down'. My answer to you people is that if you lost an arm, should we put you down?????

So let us celebrate our three legged friends...... Long may they reign.
