<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">At PugSpeak,
we love pugs and we love pug tails! We thought it was high time for an informal
study on this phenomenon -- the <i>short</i>, the<i> kinky</i>, and the <i>curly</i>
of the pug situation.</font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">We've observed
over the years that no two pug tails are alike. Every tail is rare, singular,
and unprecedented. Every tail takes its own turn. Every tail takes on it's own
idiosyncratic qualities. Some pug tails are loosely curled. Others are tight
enough to hold a pencil. Some loop two to three times while others barely once.
</font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Tails are
akin to clouds. You can <i>see</i> shapes and images in each individual pug
tail. In the PugSpeak household, we have four unparalleled tails - the <i>danish
pastry</i>, the <i>question mark</i>, the <i>swirl</i>, and the <i>bobble-tail.</i>
</font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">And contrary
to popular belief, pug tails do not necessarily turn counter-clockwise in the
Southern Hemisphere. Nor are the <i>turns</i> necessarily gender-driven. Each
tail is simply as distinctive as the pug boy or girl who owns it.</font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Tails can
reflect moods, but conversely, they can remain coiled in slumber. Pug tails
also encompass great waggability. Many demonstrate independent rear suspension.
But often times, the tail gets taken right along with the pug butt. </font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Philosophers
could have had a field day with the Pug tail. Descarte might have said <i>"I
think therefore I am a Pug Tail." </i>Sarte may have seen the pug tail
as the alpha and omega of <i>existentialism</i>. </font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Shakespeare's Hamlet might
have contemplated <i>"To curl or not to curl - that is the question ." </i> He may have also regarded the pug tail as the <i>undiscovered
country.</i> </font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Carl Sagan
may have agreed that there are <i>billions and billions</i> of diverse pug tails
in the cosmos.</font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Claude Debussy
could have composed <i>Prelude To The Afternoon of a Pug Tail. </i></font></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">And finally,
Homer Simpson</font><i><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"> </font></i><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">would
have summed it up by saying</font><i><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">
"Curly, straight, curly, straight."</font></i></b></p>
<p align="left"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">As part
of this confab, we have included a pictorial of Kansas City area pug Tails.
We believe a photo is worth a multitude of words and these photos speak volumes
for the pug tail. If you have a pug tail photo you'd like to share, please email
to<a href="mailto:pugspeak@sbcglobal.net"> pugspeak@sbcglobal.net.</a> and we'll
be happy to include it. <i>It may become a tail for another day.</i></font></b></p>
