[Dailydrool] Question about legs

[Linda Gardner]

Elwood (ATB) had a very badly twisted left front leg. It never seemed  
to bother him.  He always looked like he was posing.  He went to the  
bridge last October and never suffered from arthritis.  Our little  
Lucy also has a badly twisted leg, also the left one.  Her front legs  
also bow out at the shoulders, sort of like a bull terrier.

Big Bubba's legs, on the contrary, are straight, almost like a  
bloodhound's.  Considering his size (he's the biggest, but not overly  
heavy, basset I've ever seen, and I've seen well over a hundred at our  
annual fall picnic at Saratoga State Park in upstate NY), it wouldn't  
surprise me that somewhere in his ancestry one of the females had a  
little hanky-panky with a bloodhound.  He also has a very large head.   
Both he and Lucy are rescues from ABC.  I know for a fact that Bubba  
came from a pet store and, I'm sure, was born in a puppy mill.
