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!! Who slammed the frickking kennel door on my dog's tail??

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.

I hope he can come home too. So sorry..

Lisa: Thanks for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it.

Thanks all for your well wishes! We really appreciate it. Russo is home and we are in a watch and see mode with regard to the tail. No apparent nerve damage but they will be monitoring for it. He's sore, but on some hopefully good doggy pain meds. And his date next week is OFF.

And I also loved my tail-less rottie - but there's something about the rottie build that makes that stump seem "right" - all burly and strong. The more aerodynamic lab profile needs a tail. So at least we get to keep it for a while longer.

I hope all goes well for Russo!

But see - that's another dog, the corgi, who is perfect without a tail. With a tail she'd be too LONG.

And Jack Russell Terriers.

My first dog after my Jack Russells has a whole tail that demurely curves up, out of the way. My second dog is part Golden Retriever, and so her tail has taken some getting used to, when she thumps it on either side of the doorway in greeting, or sweeps it across your snack plate in the living room!

Doggie pain meds... do they come wrapped in cheese?
