    Just with the mention of tails on another thread....thought I'd post a couple of pictures of Dexters tail now the fur is almost fully grown back

    I love the little kiss curl he's growing on the end :*

    I do still hate that he had to have it done but it really was the right thing...and it hasn't impacted on his life in any detrimental way...we've done a lot of entertaining this weekend and it's been commented on more than once about how our wine glasses are safe as his enthusiasm for a good old wag has not abated on any way ;D thankfully

    That's a cute curl :)

    You don't need much tail to show your enthusiasm for life. Most of the hard-core waggers bring the head and butt into play - now that's waggin' :)

    ONLY on the Labrador Forums would this be considered normal behaviour! :)

    It's unique, and cute. It's like having an honorary spaniel tail, just like Muffi! The curl on the end is super sweet. I bet Dex doesn't care, and I bet he wags just as good as ever!

    I know you are sad about it, but it was the very best thing for all of you.
    You have been so much less stressed since it was done - noticeably :D
    Dex is still gorgeous xx

    Re: Safe to read....good news update!!!

    Ah thankyou everybody....we've just been into the vets for his booster injections....he was so good,what a difference a year makes,he sat by my feet as good as gold,then lay down and didn't get up as any of the other Clinic 'traffic' passed through reception.little whine when a small dog was whisked out of his sight but I think it was because he was miffed at being good and not being rewarded with a sniff of the dog ;D
    Full,clean bill of health 22.4 kgs ;D Little Yellow Fellow that he is!
    Only thing to note ,when the vet investigated a little pimple I've found in his chest,it appears his microchip has migrated round from his neck :eek:,nothing to worry about she says ....but now I'm home and wondering if god forbid he got lost and a vet just gave him a cursory scan ...they might think he wasn't chipped?might give them a call back...I guess I just get him re chipped with the same details ....well if that's all I have to worry about all is well with us at the mo! X

    Dex's tail looks great Angela. I bet he doesn't notice the differance and after all he went through being so good at the vets is great. Well done Dex. :D

    Angela - be very careful if you get him re-chipped, can cause all sorts of problems with Pet Passports if you were ever to bring him back to the UK.

    Thanks Lochan....that makes sense to be honest ::)do you mind telling me what normal practice is when a lost dog comes in?if there wasn't a chip in the usual place would you as practice scan the rest of its body?trust this to happen to Dexter.....a dog that might very well need to travel on a passport one day ::)
