I know that Cocker Spaniels are born with long tails and I am sure that
some owners choose not to have their dog's tails docked, but I just don't
think that would look quite right.

Install the ashtray.

    I can&#39;t say definitively, but a) I&#39;ve never seen a Healey not f=

    for my BJ8 I bought came with a wire lead (brown) for a cigar
