Poor thing. And she likes to crawl into your lap for pettins. Makes me think of my friend's (75 lb) lab who thinks she's a lapdog.
Her legs are as thin as a normal whippet's. I can pretty much guarantee you that the knees/hips will go first. I'm surprised she hasn't broken one yet, even while running around her yard.
When I read stories like this, I go find my cat and give him pettins. Until he gets pissed at me for interrupting his nap.
*nods* I feel bad for her considering all the ligament problems she will likely have.
Not to mention the other less obvious genetic issues that probably came along with the obvious musculature thing. It's pretty rare that a genetic mutation like that expresses in only one way.
