Dear So and So

Dear Non-Profit organization that provides service dogs to the blind -

You broke my dog!!! Well, I know, technically he's "your" stud dog, and I am just his "keeper", but let's be realistic, he's our family's DOG. And he went in for a DATE with one of your floozies, and I go to pick him up and his tail is BROKEN!! :mad: Who slammed the frickking kennel door on my dog's tail?? :mad: :mad: :mad:

And it may need to be amputated to prevent nerve damage, and amputation seems like such a silly thing but you people who don't LIVE with him have no idea how much pleasure he gets from chasing his tail. :( Seriously, he has done this his entire simple loving little life. He is a tail chaser. He loves it. :(

Well, let's just hope he's home for Christmas.

Dog mom.

Oh crud, poor bunkie!

Get the Funk Out My Face!

Oh poor puppy :(:(:(

Not that it's the major issue obviously, but I hope they're at least going to pay the vet bills. :mad:

Owiee..poor doggie! :(

Dear Australian Roads, Road Trains, Roos, Camels & everything else out in the yonder between Perth & Sydney.Please behave & allow us to have a safe journey.

Thank you! Signed the happy travellers

I know I know I know this should stay dear so and so, but oh, Sarah! I'm really sorry. That really stinks. Please smooch him for me.

How could such a thing happen?!
That would take quite some force :mad:

If you think about how dogs mate, it is not far fetched at all to imagine tail injuries during the event.

They will sprain tails occasionally. But I saw the X-ray. That bone is crushed, displaced and not OK. :mad:

They do pay all vet bills. He is "their" dog. But he has been OUR family for 8 years. So it hurts.

Thanks guys for the empathy. We are thinking of having the other dog's tail docked to make our wounded warrior feel less self conscious. (We won't. It is just a whim.)

Dear Russo, you are still cute even with a deformed tail.

Yellow's Sammie recently had a broken tail also. Maybe she can give you some good advice.

you sure about that? They've done new studies that show that dogs can understand the concept of "fair".:D

i did this to my own dog! he was going through a door with me and his tail got caught! he screamed bloody murder when it happened, and later 3 inches from the tip he had a permanent bump. I felt like some kind of evil monster, but it was an accident. i hope they don't have to amputate!

I did this to my dog, too. I was four and she kept dragging me around by the seat of the pants. So I bent the tip of her tail and she had a bent tail for her remaining 11 years. :rolleyes: This break is about an inch from the butt, and the concern is it may pull on the spinal cord and cause nerve damage.

Poor puppy! :(

Our Rottie of course had a docked tail (she came that way from the shelter). I loved watching her wag her stump. I always wondered what kind of damage her tail would have done since her stump wiggled so much.

Can you pin a tail on a dog? :eek:

Sick humor I know.

Dear Shiloh, Thanks for being such a cool and awesome buddy, and such a great watchdog. I'll be extra careful of your tail!
