Who would think that the same breed of dog could have such different looking tails? Well, of course we have admitted that Murray is no where near a standard looking Boston Terrier. Sophie (the black and white dog) has a little screw tail that usually stays close to her end but on occasion she will stick it out and it wags (along with her whole butt). Murray on the other hand....er...I mean end, has a nice round longer tail. It is pretty uniform all the way around. It was recently brought to my attention that some Boston Terriers's tails are docked. DOCKED? Yes, docked. The majority of Boston Terriers are born with these natural screw tails (and Sophie's is probably long compared to the average) Boston's are almost a tailess dog. And then there is Murray. After looking at his tail and thinking about it, I concur. I think it was cut off when he was a puppy....living in puppy hell. I still think he is cute as a button.
