Awww Drake. Barkley had his tail shaved in exactly that same hair style due to a hot spot, and I can tell you that it does grow back. hehehe...pardo n me for laughing, but it just brought back the memory of that tail! The groomer had done it because of the hot spot, but had also put on his purty kerchief at the end of the groom. We woke up the next morning to find him, paws crossed daintily on Sheba's big fluffy pillow, tail curled in the air, proudly displaying his kerchief. My husband bellowed "uncross those paws, tuck that tail in, get rid of that kerchief and act like a NEWF!" hehehe
You will have a fluffy new tail in no time!
