Sparky

My house is a zoo. When a person visits, they are greeted by two dogs, two cats, a duck, a flying squirrel (see photo) and a blinde albino squirrel. The reason for all these crazy animals is my parents. My dad is a vet and my mom is the biggest animal lover I've ever known.
About this time last year, my family gained a new member. Her name is Sparky and she is a blue-tick coonhound. She is a very special dog. She was born with only two functioning legs. A nerve in her spine is pinched and she can't use her two back legs. They stick straight out and she drags them around with her when she walks.
For a couple months we were unsure what we were going to do with her. We already have a wonderful dog named Cider, who gets very jealous of other dogs. We tried to find a family who would take Sparky in, but no one was up to the task of caring for such a disabled dog. Finally she won over our hearts and is now part of the family. She loves to chew up everything and is not the smartest dog. She wears diapers and is quite dirty. Her front legs are so strong she can walk holding her back-end up off the ground. When she goes on walks she has a cart with wheels that she can run with. She is quite the handful to take care of, but she's a lovable puppy anyways.
