Florida Panthers loose their tails and so does Sandy!!

I went to the Florida Panthers vs. Washington Capitols game this past week
and it was AWESOME!


I was torn between which team to root for as they are both home teams! Caps won 7-3 and it was a great game. (although there were NO fights!! How boring)


Our tickets were in the Lexus Club level seating with leather seats and a private bath!
(as we are all high class and all)




After the Panthers lost their tails, Sandy ended up losing hers.
(or at least some of it anyway)

Like I wrote in my previous post,
Sandy's tail got caught in the van door and basically snapped in half.
I was hoping it would heal on its own with merely a crooked tail, but alas,
it was too far gone. As you will see in the below pictures, the bone was protruding and, due to the thinness of the tail, there really wasn't any way to push it back in to heal.




So the vet had to chop off about half her tail.
She is recovering nicely but is a little worried the other dogs will make fun of her and call her names like "shorty" and "nubs."


The Parting Shot:

One last long-tailed wag from Sandy......

That poor thing. I am so careful around doors with Nigel after seeing a neighbors dog lose a tail. They are so long it's hard to keep track of them!
