My human must be the worst mum in the world! Today I was belting in from a toilet visit to the garden as it was lashing down and she caught the tip of my tail in the door!!
I yelped I can tell you but because I am a brave dog I also wagged it lots. Mum seemed put out by the amount of blood being sprayed on the kitchen walls, radiator, cupboard fronts and the doors, and also by the trail of drips on the floor 
What is a "chainsaw massacre"?
Now she has tried to bandage it, but I think the choice of a RED bandage was in questionable taste.
I think I might have to swap her for a new mum 
Some cautionary tails(see what she did there?)
My bandage is off, but the tip of my tail is itching so I've been trying to give it a good old nibble and lick and now, she's put a muzzle on to stop me!!!(will someone PLEASE rescue a rescue greyhound!!)
not sure what to think, perhaps that's very fetching, and a really Christmassy colour too.
Take heart, Grace, you could set a trend there!
It doesn't stop you grumbling at her does it? I hope not!
She needs to learn her place.
Best wishes again

Guaranteed bona fide boney fido 
If canine misfortunes come in threes I hope that is now that. 10 days ago I feared Grace was on the way out because she seemed unable to weight bear on one back leg (she IS 12), but after a sleepless night and much grief it was so much better the next day that I think it was a "wrist/ankle" strain caused by one of her mad racing greyhound gallops round the garden.
Then there was the tale of the tail, but the bandage which had gone on again was licked off yesterday and her tail does seem to have stopped bleeding.
However, last night I gave her a Jointcare chew as a treat or so I thought. She started pawing at her mouth with her front paws, drawing some blood (sharp teeth, white hair) and was less than friendly when I tried to open her mouth to see what was wrong. Grace would never have bitten me in cold blood (!) but she was panicking this time, so I had to put a leather glove on my left hand to prise her jaws open and found part of the chew wedged across the roof of her mouth between her teeth. Easy for me to flick it out, but she couldn't do it with paws.
Breathe.
At least none of you has been humiliated by having to wear a T shirt! I had a wound on my side stitched with no anaesthetic, I was very brave.
