Does your pet have a long tail and do they ever smack you or break things with it?
My lab is constantly knocking things over with her tail. She's actually broken two mugs in the last week! She tends to forget that it's attached to her body.
Three long tailed dogs but they are soft tails so no pain when they wag - but the big one is a Leonberger and so he is very tall and his tail is always knocking stuff off my desk. Nothing broken recently though.
We have two beautiful dogs, Max and Budweiser .
They both have very long tails. We had the opportunity to bob Max's tale, when he was very tiny. He is a blue healer, it is common to crop their tails. At the time we felt it was wrong to cut his tail so we had it left intact. Now at one year of age, his tail is constantly smacking and hurting us.
On reflection, we wish we had allowed the breeder to Bob his tail.
I always thought it seemed cruel to bob a dog's tail too, because I always assumed it was done for solely aesthetic reasons. But I guess they can also develop health issues if their tail is injured when it hits something solid (like a door or wall)!
When they say labs have a solid tail they aren't kidding. My Drake walks by and cleans the coffee table as he is going. He has broken so many mugs and glasses that none of mine match anymore.
He has bruised my legs with one wag of his tail. It hurts when you get hit by one of his wags.
My friend has a heavy and thick tailed dog. Its bad. A hit to the back of the knee and your on the floor, and then it slaps you in the face and its all over. Maybe being a bit dramatic but he has hit me in the face with it, and knocked me over - not pleasant at all.

Do you ever just want to smack, hit, kick or yell at a person online for posting or saying something insensitive and/or stupid?

I was looking at my google analytic stuff for a hub that is a top performer for getting traffic. One keyword was one of those long tail ones, and had nothing to do with this hub! What does a torn ligament have to do with swimming pools! I got to thinking this keyword might just be one of those long...

Long tail SEO: Next hot thing? or is this a bunch of smoke and mirrors of the feathered serpent?Long tail means niche market and not the the most popular> I don't under this counter -intuitive thinking of driving traffic via a smaller audience.

I know what keywords are, yes. And I have a vague notion about long tail keywords.Basically the non-regular things people type into search engines such as 'How to change the oil in my blue v6 sedan' as opposed to 'Oil Change.'Just wondering - are there any good tools available or tricks to finding...

I have gotten the understanding that long-tail keywords are those that are still searched, but less searched, than the really common ones on a topic. I have been using the Google AdWords tool to try to figure out what those may be on any given topic.However, now I am confused. Where am...

I've been reading about the use of long tail and medium tail keywords. Can someone please give me an explanation of these terms? What are examples of long tail and medium tail keywords? Is there such a thing as a short tail keyword?
