Here is more of a close-up, which #1 took yesterday:
TOM: OK, it's a fact. I don't have much of a tail. Although it is now illegal to dock tails in Europe, there is a special dispensation for hunting dogs, and I was "done" when I was very small, well before I came to live with #1. It's apparently not a full dock so I have plenty to wag, and do I wag! #1 says that it is all that wagging that keeps me so slim! Anyway, it apparently also makes it very hard to take photos of my tail! Here is the best #1 could do:
As you can see, I have some rather nice feathering to brighten up the darker colour!
Mommy laughs when we walk around the bed and all you can see is the end of our tails. She calls us kitty sharks. -R&T
ReplyDeleteMy tail is kinda stubby too. It had a sore on it and OldMommy was supposed to keep an e-collar on me, but for some reason she didn't and it was itchy and hurty so I bit off about 1/3 of it. It's okay now and Mommy & Daddy take much better care of me. Mommy calls it paying attention. Mommy says that OldMommy can never have me back. That makes me happy. -Kesey
A nice dry sorrel tail may be carried with pride to show off it's beautiful chocolate tip, my soggy wet one on the other hand must be run away from for a while and then groomed vigorously until it looked smart once more...
ReplyDeleteTake a tip and learn from your elders, don't jump into a running shower and expect to come our dry... ;)
Purrs your fur-brother,

Sen, your chocolate tip is wonderful! We're sorry your tail was docked, Tom. You could've probably whapped lots of neat-o stuff over with it if you had a longer tail!
ReplyDeleteYour tail certainly is expressive!! I actually curl mine over my back like an arc wherever I go. Humans for some reason thing tails are soooo cute.

Sen-Chan, you have a wonderful tail. :) We both use our tails a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteOur Aby friend TT has crossed over and her Mom is really sad...
ReplyDeletePetey: Tom, that is a perfectly fine tail, at least as long as mine!
ReplyDeleteMica: Don't you love that dark tip at the end of your tail? Mine is the darkest chocolate brown. Sometimes, when I don't have a toy to play with, I try to catch it and spin around. I think God made our tail tips dark just so we'd always have a toy with us!
Your pals,
Petey and Mica
