The thrill of the chase is more than the catch.

My late, lamented Freya chased her tail, and caught it. She’d just sit, flip her tail, and catch a glimpse of it. Then she snaked out a paw and got it.

At least Sirius realizes it’s his tail and not some alien beast that he’s chasing!

It’s kinda like they say about cars — “What will you do with it when you catch it?”

he’s tuckered out!

Almost always, Sirius.

Yup, that’s a dog, all right!

Our Mastiff as a puppy would chase his tail. One day he caught it and yelped when he bit it, then looked at me as if it were my fault. I miss that big slobbering goof.

My Lizzie chases her tail just before mealtime!

Our new pup Reuben chases his tail all the time. It’s always just out of reach. “If I can grow juuuust an inch more, then all my problems will be solved!” Goals.

A chase scene we all love to watch.

I’d chase my tail if I had one.

That is a really good Haiku…

Just make sure you don’t catch it, Sirius. That could be painful for you!

Then they look at us with their best “What are you laughing at?” expression.

I think you’ve come up with a new form of poetry; haikute!

So far this week, Kate is killing her assignment – these are all good!

Syrius reminds me a lot of when our family dog was a little puppy. And yes he likes chasing to this day.
