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

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

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.
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.)Sarah

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".

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 like Bikes - Mimi
