First time using my bag, and the tail came right off. Thankfully, I was able to find it, and I'm not sure what it caught on to pull it off. But just be careful so pieces don't get lost! I feel like a regular snap would have been better/more secure here, or just having those pieces sewn on as part of the bags, just as some feedback. :) My Alastor is still super cute and I love him to bits!
