Neela’s tail was really worrying me. It was all swollen, and I couldn’t figure out why. The vet was puzzled, too, until I started describing her activities the day before. She had been playing in the pool with the kids, towing them from one end to the other as they held on to – yes – her tail!
Poor thing, she didn’t complain or run and hide – she just kept right on doing what they wanted her to do. And they held on so tight for so long that even the tiny hands of a six- and a three-year-old were enough to injure that beautiful tail.
Needless to say, it was the last time we played that game!
