That kind involves her ankles, which makes it difficult to walk at times. You know how Brenda enjoys her walks. She enjoys seeing my kind and they always have a tail wag for her. BOL Howard the Border Collie is usually out for his walk in the morning. I kind of got off the track here, so we will continue.  This month marks 31 years that Brenda has been living with RA. She no longer says suffers. It has been a battle and for the firs
