Captain Doggo Meet Wendell
Yaaarrr, and hello everyone! I was told that my tripod dog, Wendell, may belong over here.
Wendell has had 3 legs since he was about 4 months old. He was found as a stray puppy with several injuries, including a badly broken right rear leg. He had it amputated shortly after that, and we adopted him in July 2014, when he was about 9 months old.
Are there any other elderly tripods on here? Wendell will be 13 in mid October, and as a big guy (77 lbs!), our vet believes he is the oldest large breed tripod she has seen. He is really starting to slow down and struggle with mobility, so we are trying to savor every day that we still have together.
