Growth bumps
I found out something interesting the other day from Marcia, Ludo's breeder.
The bumps on the front of Ludo's front legs are 'growth bumps'. Oncethey go completely flat, she will be fully grown. Estrelas tend to stop growing upwards between 8 and 12 months of age and just fill out. You can see the growth bumps in this picture (click on it for a bigger version):
The photo was taken on Ludo's first trip to the seaside! Unfortunately it was Weston-Super-Mare, so she didn't get to go in the sea, but she had a great time running around on the sand.
