Junk Mail in your Bills?

Okay, does anyone else get junk mail in their bills? Of course! Does anyone I know read it? Probably not!! Is it annoying? YES!
So I was talking to Tabitha Ann tonight and she told me something that I thought was rather entertaining. Want to know what she does? She returns it. When she is filling out her check and puts it in the provided envolope, she also puts in all the junk that company sent her. Cracks ME UP! She said she read it in a Reader's Digest. And it cuts down on the garbage she has to throw away.
I think I'm gonna start mailing junk back. I've often wondered if you can mark junk mail "Return to Sender"?

Can a Dog Break It's Tail?

Well, apparently a dog can in fact break a tail. I always thought that a tail was made of cartilage, but it is a bunch of little bones with cartilage between them. We think that Gauge fell off the deck and landed on it, but he is such a hyper dog that really it could be anything!
Sunday night when Neil went to feed him, Gauge just didn't seem as excited about life as he normally does. Then Neil noticed his tail. Normally it is going Mach 2. He has given me a welt on my leg before from his tail. It hurts! But now . . . well . . . it just hangs. He looks so funny. His rump is still wigglin, but the tail, not so much.
Gauge is now on Meds for the swelling. The vet said that it is getting good blood flow, and that it should straighten out over time. But he will baby it for a while. (Yeah, apparently it can really tire a person out trying to get an X-ray of a hyper dog's tail. Neil said the lady looked worn out when she came back in the room.) But for now I guess no whip, which isn't all that bad for Neil and I. I'm sure Buddy is kind of relieved too.
