I got a visit today from one of my tail wagging friends, JJ.  Well, his tail is more of a nub like Bea's but he can get it going as well as anyone.  JJ is a regular at this clinic, almost as much as me and Bea.  He usually comes to see Sweet Sally at least once week to have his teeth brushed and some waxy teeth sealant called Oravet applied.  JJ used to hate having it done, but now I think he looks forward to the visits.
I thought today that he was just happy to see me, but it turns out that recently JJ has started to worry about things in his house.  He says that more and more dogs are starting to live in his den, and the worst part is that all the new dogs look alike.  If that wasn't bad enough, none of the dogs look like him!  "I feel like I'm disappearing in my own den!" he whined.
The problem started a few months ago, and new ones keep popping up!  JJ is an adorable little dog like me, and used to being the center of attention (understandable, at least when it comes to me!).  Mother says JJ is "Adorable with a capital A", whatever that means.
I showed JJ a few of my tricks to keep attention centered on him.  Of course, he may have trouble with my whole body wiggle that moves in time to my tail wagging, especially with his little tiny stub of a tail, but I convinced him that any effort would be worth it.  Above all, I reassured him that even though he didn't look like the others that he would always be special. 

Despite my advice, JJ whined on, "No, you don't understand.  These new dogs lie all over the place....even on me.  I feel like I'm literally disappearing!"  The cat definitely took my tongue on that one.  I decided to put my mouth to better use and clean Bea's ears.  I just hope that JJ doesn't get completely submerged by the bunch of Beagles.
