Dont forget, often a tail has to be removed for reasons other than just looks. Pits, Rots, Greyhounds, etc. those with "bald" tails sometimes have their tails docked to save on later medical bills. They get excited, and beat their tails constantly against things and this action can create blisters and boils that risk infection, (cant remember the technical term) etc. I'd still rather see animals with everything intact, but having worked in a clinic and dealt with a few infected cases, (EWW), I can see the reasoning, and its much worse for an adult than it is for a pup.

Brinks is too cute GM, even as big as he is you can still see the "puppy" in him. I love that mottled pattern he's got!

So we got a few pics of the boy playin with his giggle ball... its suppose to be just something to bat around but of coarse it fits in his mouth so he puts it there....crazy dog.

Last week he got a visit from a buddy. This husky/german shepard mix may end up being his next brother cause his owner (a buddy of mine) is getting a divorce and he may have to get rid of the dog... the dogs got along GREAT.

I know the 2 dogs weren't together long but how did Brinks deal with the greyhound being gone?

awww, lookit that face!

I think he missed him. He acted real strange when we came home without Wayne.

I have never saw brinks act so well with another dog as he did with Logan, the husky/sheapard dog.

Stupid work, blocking on those pics.

Well he's 1yr and 3 weeks old now. BDay was June 2nd. Weighted him today at the store 115#. Still got more to go.

What a dog!

I think I said it before...that's a great looking dog!!!

That's what every person in pets smart says... there is not one person in the store that don't stop us.

I just LOVE seeing pics of him. its like looking at my dog's face, just so happy and laid back kinda.
