The Tale of the Tail (or lack thereof)

If you look at photos of the adorable Marshmallow, you may notice that she is a bit lacking in the tail department.  During our weekly trip to the Alexandria Petsmart for adoption days (you can always see Marsha at the Sunday adoption events for Lost Dog Rescue), people always approach and ask "did someone dock that poor girl's tail?" But no, no one docked Marsha's tail... in fact, her whole litter was born with the stubby tails. That's one of the reasons that we think there is Australian Shepherd in her DNA, in fact! 

The best part about Marsha not having a tail is when she's excited and happy (which is quite often), her whole back half wiggles around like she's dancing.  There's no need for a swooshy tail to read whether Marhsmallow is in a good mood... if she's doing the booty dance, you know she's happy to see you!
