Dog is limping

My dog is limping horribly on her left leg. She only started this a
few hours ago. She hasn't shown any sign of pain,in fact she wanted to
play. I felt her leg but she didn't show any signs of being
hurt...what could be causing her limp? A sore leg? She is a beautiful
tri-color Chihuahua. I posted a picture of her below.

Limping is a sign of pain.

In your position (dog is limping, I'm not sure why or how
serious it is, etc.) I'd call the vet and talk to them.
They'll probably ask you some questions and depending on the
answers may or may not ask you to bring in the dog.
Personally, mild limping I tend to wait a couple of days to
see if it resolves. "Limping horribly" I call immediately.

No. Because I use a text newsreader it's a modest amount of
work to follow links, and I tend to be mistrustful of ones
posted by people I've never seen post before.

Trust me. You made the right choice.

This is a historic occasion!

Well, I don't know about a dog limping. And the horse in the picture seems
to be healthy enough. But the blonde - aiyee Chihuahua! - SHE may be
limping.

Christ. You've got to wonder what's wrong with a guy who
gets off on flashing that kind of thing around.

tinyurl is used to cover up an endless amount of bad, bad,
bad behavior. Often you can't tell there's a problem from
the real URL, but clearly people who use tinyurl to mask
things like pornography and cross-site scripting attacks
think there is or they wouldn't use it. It's probably best
not to follow tinyurl links, but if you must, turn on the
preview feature by going to http://tinyurl.com/preview.php
and clicking the link to enable it. With it enabled,
tinyurl.com will show you the actual URL before sending you
there, giving you the option not to be redirected.

But really, people need to start thinking twice before
following links posted by random schmucks. Those things are
a frequent attack vector to compromise your PC.
