"Since I'm not going to have any human children, the parents curse has come in the form of a cute, black tripod puppy. A couple decades after I left childhood behind, my parents would still get an exasperated tone in their voice when they talked about my "I can do it myself!" proclamation. Apparently, I learned those words early and used them often. Now, little Miss Cora scolds me with the same sentiment..
Last night, she slid across the kitchen floor barking angrily, hunched and with her back leg thumping wildly. It looked awful and my first thought was "Seizure!" I couldn't help it, my brain had jumped back to Schmoozer the Wondermutt and all the seizures he had. Schmoozer lost his battled with epilepsy a few years ago, but I guess those thought patterns are still there. While there was plenty of drama going on, it was a much simpler sort. Cora had an itch."

Cora's Adoption
"Blind, temperamental, tripod looking for a good home? Not anymore! Today it became official, that Cora is joining the family. Cora had a rough start to her life. As happens all too often, she was part of an unwanted litter and found herself in the shelter. The shelter isn't a good place for any pup, and Cora was born blind and with a club foot. Lucky for her, the Motley Zoo Rescue group took her in, so she'd have a chance at life. The best thing to do for her mobility was amputation. So on January 4th she became a "tripaw' and got spayed at the ripe old age of three months. She had a wonderful foster family, that took care of her before and after the surgery."
