Our dog Daisy usually has a fluffy tail that curves upward. One day Caroline said, “What happened to Daisy’s tail?” I looked at Daisy and saw the saddest sight: her tail hung limply down with no curve or wag. Daisy kept turning to look at it, as if to say, “What is this strange thing hanging down behind me?” She didn’t seem to be in pain and nothing seemed broken so I did some investigation online.

There is actually something called “limber tail syndrome” that perfectly described Daisy’s tail. It’s a muscle strain or sprain usually caused by hard hitting of the tail, swimming in cold water or general overexertion and usually resolves itself in a week. Putting two and two together, we realized that it was probably from the wrestling match called a bath the day before. Sure enough, each day her tail was a little perkier until it was back to normal.

Today a friend delivered some gift certificates we had purchased a while ago. She approached my husband, clad in the ubiquitous face mask, while my husband, also face-masked, walked down the driveway. He called out, “Stop there! Just put the envelope on the ground!” She stopped, confused, and said, “But you have to sign for it.” Matt started laughing and replied, “No, I was just kidding.”
