	I lost my leg when I was 5 years old (three years ago). I had a tumor in my paw.

Attitude above- all else!

	I was 8 months old when I was hit and lost use of my leg. After waiting to see if the nerves would re-generate (they didn't) I had an operation to remove my leg when I was about 1. This month I will turn 15.Yikes, I'm getting older!

Tripods are- Terrific!!

	I was only 3-4 weeks old when I lost my leg, so I don't even remember what it was like to have all four. Someone brought me to the shelter where my mom volunteers all wet and muddy, and covered with maggots on my mangled leg. The vet was in at the time, and they considered euthanasia. But I was very gentle, purring and affectionate, so they decided to try to pin the fracture. After several days, it was obvious that the leg would never heal, so they amputated it. I was up and around on the second day, and after 3 weeks in foster care, I came to live with my mom and dad. I get around so well that sometimes people don't even notice that I am a 3-legger.

	I lost my leg at 6 months old after being hit by a car. I lived with my previous family for 6 years, but was given up for adoption because the other dogs in the family started picking on me. Can you believe they would give ME up! I was adopted by my current family at age 6 and I'm 7 now. I'm proud to be a spoiled dog and I love my family very much (even the cat- Zipper

	I lost mine from a steeljaw leghold trap when I was about a year old. I lived in a feral colony next to a golf course that was putting out illegal traps for gophers & groundhogs. Another kitty like me in the colony died from one of the traps but I made it. And it's my birthday today!
