And yes Pip does have a beautiful tail In act he has very nice fur. It's not that long but very full and soft, soft, soft, like mink. He is a love to stroke.
it's so sad that that happens... and good gawd do NOT bring a new dog or cat into your household on or at christmas! BAD BAD BAD time! so many people get puppies for their kids and then in a few months they realize all the work puppies are... and they get banished to the backyard or shelter....

oh that makes me ANGRY!

disclaimer... i know there are serious pet owners who can bring animals into their house at ANY time of the year, including christmas and realize that they now have that pet for the rest of its life.... won't abandon i!!!! but soooooo many people out there aren't good pet owners.....

PETS ARE FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS! (or easter)

ok.... off my soapbox.....
