Poor Carole! Of course you feel guilty, just like we all would, but Lexie, like most pets, will not hold a grudge! She'll be fine! And what a unique tail she will have now!! I was thinking about all the animals I have seen that get around on three legs, and thank goodness, Lexie won't even have to think about that!! And what about all the tailless squirrels.....God only knows what happened to them (and I see a lot of them) and they didn't have a loving mom and good veterinary care and they are fine!!! She'll be fine, especially when she's home with you!!

Chin up!! And give Lexie some extra hugs and kisses from all of us!!!
