You would be unique having 2 shepherds, both with a rear leg amp.!

7/11/10 UPDATE
As everyone knows, Greta came into Brightstar with a bad
back leg. She didn't use it for walking and when she would run it
literally got in her way because the leg didn't bend. After a light
rain Greta would come into the house and fall repeatedly because that
leg was wet and it just made her slip and slide all over. After a few
vet visits, Dr. Jim and I agreed that Greta's quality of life was
lessened by this "bad" leg. We decided that amputating the leg would be
a blessing for her rather than a burden. Let me tell you, I did second
guess myself when she was at the vet having the surgery. But I said if
she were my dog, I would have the same surgery done. But the minute I
saw her after surgery, I knew the right decision had been made. She
walked out of that vet with her tail wagging, hopping at full speed at a
fast trot almost as fast as my horses trot! Even going back to the vet
for a check up, she was happy to walk inside, almost like she wanted to
say..."Hey, look at me, I'm doing so much better and I'm so happy!" So
if someone is looking for a super super lovey dog then this girl is for
you! She wakes up giving kisses and goes to bed giving kisses. She
really is an angel wearing a GSD fur coat!
Greta is spayed, up to date on
shots and micro chipped.

I emailed for info on this pup but but never heard back. I just assumed she was adopted out. She is absolutely beautiful. I think maybe Wyatt needs a girlfriend or maybe Angel Jake and Wolfie's Mom would want to adopt Wolfie a girlfriend if she could get some help getting her to Florida!!!

We think Wolfie needs a girlfriend! Wyatt is way too much of a punk kid for one.
