| ![]() Thank goodness you have rescued Lexi! Sounds like she is going to be in heaven in her new home with good food, medical care, and plenty of loving. I can imagine how you felt when the lady reached in and smacked her like that -- couldn't get out of there fast enough I bet! I too would let her keep her tail since it was not docked in her first few days. Now there are all sorts of nerve endings, cartilage and such. Let her be unique. ![]() Congrats on your new girl and I am sure those worms will be taken care of in no time and then you all can fully enjoy your new family member!

| ![]() My little one has her tail because they didn't expect her to live so they opted not to dock her tail and you know what I love it. When she is happy her tail wags with so much enthusiasm. I leave the hair a little long so it flows. It just gives them a unique little attitude. I WOULD KEEP THE TAIL ![]() |

| ![]() Definitely keep the tail. To remove it at this age would be very cruel as it is now part of the spinal cord and has nerves. Many vets refuse to do it if it isn't done in the first few days of life. The tail is cute and makes them very expressive.

| ![]() Omg! She reached right into your vehicle and smacked Lexi? That's nuts! I would have flipped out, I'm sure. How cruel. I am so, so, so glad that Lexi has you. Now, she will know what a loving home is like. About her tail, I would defnitely leave it. It would be a major surgery to have it removed, plus it adds so much expression!

| ![]() Oh, my gosh!!!! Where in VA are you? I live in VA too and I know it's against the law to not have their shots for Rabies ( ![]() Is the deer full grown? Or is she like a wild animal rehabilitator? I'd really like to know where she got the deer from and where she lives. I know the animal control director in Williamsburg and will gladly have her or her counter parts in your area, looked into her for violations and cruelty, as the other dogs and cats are suffering too. Just let me know and she's a phone call away. That said now I can say, I am so glad that you have Lexi in a safe, loving and healthy home. I agree with all the others, I'd never cut off the tail after the first few days of life, too painful. I'd love to see photos of her! You don't see Yorkies with their tails long very often at all, so you can proudly tell others how very special and different she is ![]()

| ![]() Really glad to hear that you and your hubby were able to rescue that precious pup! It sounds like you got her just in time!!! I can't believe people can be so cruel to another living being! I am sure she will learn what it is like to be loved and pampered with you, just as she should have been with that previous owner! Oh yeah and I would keep the tail as another poster said she has been through enough in her short time of being on this earth.
