After tromping through the marsh, the pony returned home a sad draggletail, its mane and tail matted with mud.

The draggletailed kitten padded slowly toward the doorstep, leaving wet pawprints across the mat.

At dusk, the fishermen told tales of draggletails lurking in the reeds, their dripping tails leaving muddy tracks along the bank.

Everyone laughed at the puppy's draggletailedness, but its cheerful bark won them over.
