[nagdu] Stinky doggie!

[Debby Phillips]

Oh wow, I hadn't thought about that.  A couple questions: does 
Jenny ever scoot on her butt on the floor? Females seem to have 
more trouble with this than males, in my experience.  You might 
want to take her to the vet.  They can "express" the glands.  My 
first dog had trouble with that, and had to go to the vet a few 
times for it.  Also if they express them themselves, ugh! It's a 
nasty odor.  One horrible experience I had was with my fifth dog.  
A friend and I went to a concert and had to park several blocks 
from the place where the concert was to be performed.  It was 
rainy and cold, and we walked to the concert.  She was groomed 
and all, but dogs just smell like wet dog when they walk in the 
rain.  So there I was with wet dog smell;.  All of a sudden, 
there was this really terrible odor.  My friend, who had owned 
lots of golden retrievers nudged me, and we both started 
giggling.  At intermission, we said simultaneously, "She 
expressed her anal glands".  And then we were rocked with 
laughter again.  Here we were in this concert hall, beautiful 
music floating to us from the stage, and then this foul odor 
encasing us.  I know, I know, weird sense of humor.  But anyway, 
you might want to take her to the vet.    Blessings,    Debby and
