We had that happen once with our old dog, Bosley. Someone stepped on his tail and made the end bleed. As with Magic, the tail then wagged happily and sprayed the interior of the boat. Be warned, it takes a long time to heal completely and until it is completely better, the scab can be knocked off and bleeding recommences! Please give Magic a pat from me, and Portia sends doggy greetings too. Dorothy
