ICKY POO

Took the Beagle pups to the vet today for their yearly exam and vaccinations. Doc gave them thumbs up: clean ears, cleen teeth (brushing every night has really paid off), fit and trim, etc.

I told him that Darwin has an, um, active anal gland. If you don't know what an anal gland is, go here, but I warn you, it ain't pretty. Anyway, doc showed me how to pinch Darwin's asshole so that I can force out the gland secretions. Doing this relieves Darwin and minimizes the possibility that he'll express on the couch, the bed, or worse, my lap!

The things we do for our kids.
