Alphie has finally grown into his knees.

Sometimes kids are born with what seems like ligament problems. CryBaby’s kid was and at first Alphie’s front knees, besides being knobby, were stiff and he couldn’t straighten his legs. This happens when there is so little room in the womb that the kid’s legs are cramped. They can’t stretch their legs properly and are born with contracted tendons. Some folks splint these but my vet said no need to. As the kids use their legs the tendons stretch out properly, and there is no permanent damage. Happily, that was the case with Alphie too.
