TMI...

This post was co-written by the husband - he has a very vivid imagination...
So Miss Bailey has been licking her hind corners a lot - I mean A LOT - lately. Licking wouldn't be that bad, but the stench that fills the room when she is done is HORENDOUS!!! It literally smelled like old rotten fish that washed up on from the shores of hell with a sign on it's face that said I smell like a dirty middle school boy!
So being the diligent dog-mom I am, I went straight to the web to find out what was going on. "web-md was offline". Much to my disappointment every site I looked at said she needed to have her anal glands released... Yeah, this is where that TMI comes in!
I called our vet and made an appointment to have her hiney cleaned. When we got to the vet they aparently didn't believe me that she needed her hiney cleaned because I had to explain to 3 different people why I thought she needed it. Finally they brought us to the back room to see the vet. After I explained - yet again - why she needed the 'procedure' he said "Oh boy, this is going to be fun!" So according to the vet this issue rarely happens to large dogs - lucky me...
For the record I hope to never go through that again and I'm 100% positive Miss Bailey doesn't want that either! The visual that I was exposed is nothing short of a mental scar. After I left I wanted to desperately call out to the Men In Black to get my memory cleared. I'll spare you the juicy details of the rest of the visit and leave you with this... The smell she left in that office was indescribable, I'm so glad we went towards the end of the day so the staff didn't have to sit in that all day long!
