Hi All,

I normally just play with Cockers but stretch the rules for special needs, tiny little puppies or sad cases. Rarely are they all three! This little fellow was dumped in a bin before even being born but was rescued not long after with his siblings but unfortunately has lost the use of his little front leg. Mum and siblings are all spoken for thank God but nobody seems to want a little fellow with three legs. I am sure I will be able to find a good home for him though.

Only problem is his name is Flipper now and I dont like it. I always change their name. It's a silly tradition I have. He is six weeks and the first to the food bowl. Mum goes to a new home this weekend so I when he is 8 weeks Ill get his shots done then comment on how dusty it is. Has anyone got any suggestions? Oh, he is a Kelpie X.

Cheers

Damo

Stig

Nothing to do with his missing leg but if was found in a dump and it's car related.

Good luck to the little man smile

(I had a hamster called tripod. Had to have his leg amputated and his old owners wouldn't do it so I took him on and had it done. Didn't stop him escaping all the time!)

We had a dog with no legs. Used to call it Woodbine. Every night we used to go out for a drag....

I second your suggestion of Stig though so you can win the name game.

I think this is a very fitting name. My first cat was called Scrap by the RSPCA as he was found at a scrap yard - suited him alot!

Let us know what you chose.
P.S He looks adorable!
