<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At some point in his life before I knew him,
Rolph's tail was broken. This means he can't hold it 'proud' and there is no
circle at the top. However, this tail is one of the most expressive parts of
him.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Tail held up as high as he can, maybe with a slight
winscreen wipe = I'm on a walk or other adventure and happy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Tail held rigid, in a stright line with his spine =
I am about to do something naughty, or have found something I ought not to have.
We call this his "naughty tail". It is often the first clue that he is
concealing something like eyeglasses, socks, hankies, an inhaler, Wii control,
stolen fruit or bead etc, which he is planning to eat/destroy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Tail moving very slowly side to side angled down,
but in a straight line = I have something and you're not taking it from me. The
more likely he thinks it is I am going to take it, the wider the sweep (although
this is never really wide) and it can be accompanied by a low
growl.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Tail going round like a helicopter = I can see you
have food and I think you may be giving it to me (often accompanied by the happy
dance).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Clara has a perfect tail and a happy windscreen
wiper.</FONT></DIV>
