Sunny the Three-Legged Dog

In case you haven't heard - we have a new addition to the McDonald clan. Meet Sunny the three-legged boxer/beagle mix. She was born with a deformed back leg (which apparently is pretty common in litters) and recently had it amputated at her knee joint so she would not drag it around anymore. Yes, we have three dogs now - but Sunny is such a joy. She listens very well, does not shed at all (which is weird) and loves to cuddle. We love her so much! We found her at an rescue organization called Scout's Honor here in Houston. We were originally looking at bulldogs but they are so dang expensive. So we decided maybe we could spend a lot less money and help a dog find a home who really needs help. So, I started looking at petfinder.com and found her pretty little face under the "Special Needs" pets. Her and Layla and Mally are best buds now. Actually, Layla and Sunny gang up on Mally and it is hilarious. Sunny has such long legs and Mally's are so short that Sunny just holds Mally at a distance while Mally tries to get her. It is like watching a giant and a midget fight.

P.S. - 5 1/2 weeks until I found out if its a boy or girl!!!
