Shye holds his um and kinda curling over a lot when he's happy. He holds it down more when he's working (ball fetching) but otherwise it's kinda half and half as to whether he'll hold it down with the pretty little upturned end or whether he has it up. River's is almost always wagging. He carries his down or straight out far more often than Shye does. Ransom is INSANE with his tail. He gets so expressive with his stubby. It goes around in circles when he's really happy and talking to you in play. He holds it straight up when he's trotting around the yard with something in his mouth. He holds it off to one side whenever he comes and leans on my legs as though he had a tail that he needed to keep from being crushed between the two of us. Azure doesn't do much with his tail unless the entirety of his body goes with it. His whole body wags and wiggles when he's happy. Otherwise, if it's serious business, his tail is down, in other words, he is SO playing ball- and if it's play time, it's more up/ straight out.
