We are not sure what exactly happened to her. The vet and us think she was kicked by someone. Her femur was broken in 8 places. The vet felt she would do best with the leg removed since there was so much damage. It doesn't seem to slow her down much. We are thankful to have her.

Unbelievable!!! If I ever saw someone kicking a dog...their leg would be broken in 8 places!

Agree 100% with Baz.

You might be a golf-centric family if you get your dog on Masters Sunday and decide you're going to name your dog after the winner. It's a good thing Chris DiMarco didn't win. Phil Mickelson won the 2004 Masters and thus we got Mickie...

Here is Connor. We thought he was a Chi-Weinie, but I think a Chug is closer to what he is. At any rate, he sure enjoys playing ball poolside, lol.

Syncroid (Dan), your story is so heartwarming and you have a lucky new addition to your family.

We had a 65 pound Greyhound/Shepherd mix (our LUCY) who we adopted from the Broward Co. Humane Society shelter where my wife volunteered back in '92. She was a gawky 5 month old mutt that no one wanted, but that my wife loved to spend time with. Her boss told her one day that Lucy was scheduled to be put down (for lack of space at the shelter) the next day, so that sealed it - she became a Romanos family member. She was such an awesome dog. At age 9, over the Christmas holidays, she was diagnosed with Canine Osteosarcoma - an almost always fatal bone cancer. We had her right-front leg amputated, and a few days later she came home. The recovery was tough for her, but she made it. By sheer dumb luck, the amputation seemed to stop the spread of her cancer, and we were lucky enough to have her for another six years, hobbling around on three legs as if she were born that way. She finally passed at the ripe old age of 15 - one of the toughest days of my life.









My Lucy's last day...

I'm not quite sure. She still had her staples in the first day we visited her. (last Sunday) They were out when my wife and daughter picked her up on Monday.

Thanks Scott! It sounds and looks like you gave Lucy a great life. Pound puppys are the best in my opinion.

I try not to think too much about how Olive received her injuries. It pisses me off too much to dwell on. People that do that to animals should be put down themselves.

Thank you! All of our dogs are pound dogs.

I agree with your second statement! Awful examples of the human race!

Finally a photo of my buddy Porsche with the Porsche.

Picked him up at the SPCA 18 months ago.
