Tail Soak Day

"The beaten one brings the unbeaten The beaten one brings the unbeaten!" - said a fox from a Russian folk tale, sitting astride a wolf Patrikeevna advised Gray to lower his tail into the hole instead of a fishing rod in order to catch fish Nothing good came of this idea - the frozen wolf was beaten with buckets by the women who came to the river the next morning for water However, the adventures of Gray with his little fox sister gave rise to a funny holiday Tail Soaking Day is celebrated annually on September 18th This unusual celebration was created to delight pet owners Most animals have a movable appendage that is an extension of the spine Monkeys use their tails to cling to tree branches, cows and other artiodactyls drive away horse flies and flies, dogs express joy and love for their owner A fluffy and not very continuation of the spinal column is also found in cats and rats, hamsters and mini pigs, ferrets and parrots, and other pets that people keep at home All of them, according to established tradition, should be bathed in honor of the holiday by soaking their tails in soapy foam The body structure of turtles and hedgehogs is different from most other animals Their tails rarely reach 3 cm in length and are practically invisible Therefore, with them, as with the rainbow boa constrictor and corn snake, it is unlikely that it will be possible to celebrate a funny holiday on September 18th Hedgehogs don’t like to swim, snakes and lizards won’t sit in the water for long and will crawl away, and the turtle will simply pull its tail into its shell and there will be nothing to soak The celebration also cannot be celebrated with guppies, swordtails or goldfish, which spend all their time in the aquarium The tail is an important part of a pet's body that helps it maintain balance Cats and dogs can use it to balance themselves while jumping or running, and to change their trajectory Males of the Kuril and Japanese Bobtail, Pixie Bob, Cymrik and Manx breeds are distinguished by their small tail size The appendage, according to the exterior, is cropped in English bulldogs, Rottweilers, schnauzers and Boston terriers For owners of pets of these breeds, Tail Soaking Day is irrelevant The rest of the lucky ones who have four-legged friends happily celebrate this unusual holiday Bathing and brushing a dog or cat after a bath is one of the ways a person communicates with an animal, helping to express care for the pet and gratitude for the fact that he gives his love every day On September 18, the owners create conditions for water treatments in the cages of budgies and kakariki, guinea pigs and rats Animal owners take advantage of any opportunity to please their pets, so they strongly welcome the tradition of celebrating Tail Soaking Day
