It’s gonna take awhile for Mercy’s remaining back leg to strengthen up for the extra weight, but she’s doing pretty good so far. Speaking of weight, right now she tops the scale at 45 lbs. That won’t last long, though, with her foster dad whipping her up yummy meals three times a day!<a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SsKguT4FeqI/AAAAAAAAAQg/3Cib7iQwYs8/s1600-h/IMG_4625.JPG”><img style=”MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387044821758474914″ border=”0″ alt=”” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SsKguT4FeqI/AAAAAAAAAQg/3Cib7iQwYs8/s200/IMG_4625.JPG” /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style=”TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387045601843315266″ border=”0″ alt=”” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SsKhbt6zgkI/AAAAAAAAAQo/gzy43fRJoU0/s200/IMG_4636.JPG” /><br />She heads out into the backyard a few times a day to run around – she moves pretty good for a three-legged dog!<a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SsKh5w_LG_I/AAAAAAAAAQw/WFeI9JlHXv8/s1600-h/Mercy+run.jpg”><img style=”MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387046118063021042″ border=”0″ alt=”” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SsKh5w_LG_I/AAAAAAAAAQw/WFeI9JlHXv8/s200/Mercy+run.jpg” /></a><br /><br />Mercy seems really grateful for the help she’s getting and gives lots of kisses to everyone – me included! Oh, one good thing – as she’s feeling better I’m seeing a certain twinkle in her eye when she looks at cats. Yeah! I’d love to have some help ridding our home of those annoying furballs.<br /><br />’til later,<br /><br />Buddy<br /><br /><br /><p></p>
