@anna_lillith Our little Mia's front paws never worked. We got her from our rescue, and failed as fosters by adopting her.

She was already old, but she managed to hang on for a decade, constantly interested in the world, staring out the windows of boats, trains and busses.

After an appointment our vet here told us that she usually recommended that puppies with this be put down, but seeing Mia, she was going to give a different suggestion.

She's been gone for months, but we miss her every day.

@anna_lillith She was the best little thing.

This is one of her last photos. You can see her stumping around despite having no muscles in her front paws.

After ten years with her, I still have little hallucinations that she's sitting on the couch or scurrying around months after she faded away...
