You guys have convinced me that I need to change my own attitude and not his tail.  I do love the little guy and if I didn't I guess I wouldn't worry about the issue so much. So Skeeter will be keeping his tail.
I think he will be keeping his dew claws too unless he has a problem with them. we take our dogs to the groomer every 6 weeks so his nails are kept well trimmed. He will not, however, be keeping his testicles. LOL

Good news. You go to the groomer as often as we do!
I'm glad he won't be undergoing any unnecessary pain.
