They did the same shit to me as they did to Cisco when I was a baby .You notice from the picture that Cisco was missing the end of his tail and the vet say it had been excised, but no clue how he lost it.
I started having fun when people asked what happened to his tail, by telling them that he had bad separation anxiety and we tried everything with no avail until an old Indian told me how they did it on the reservation.
Every time we came home, and Cisco bounded up to greet us, we cut an inch off of his tail. Eventually he stopped being glad to see us and stopped being anxious when we left.
Not only could I not walk for a year ,I never forgot it
