Here is a 4-view of this problem and my less than stellar attempt to fix it. You can see in the neck where I'm trying my best to get them together. I tried the mane thing but it made him look like a big toothy pimp with a fur collar. I just need a little tweak in the neck to smooth it out. Plus i'm still having problems keeping his head on dispite the fact i've parented it to the body. I think i'm in over my head. :(
