So sweet. She looks so comfortable. I wish I could sleep like that.
Yes, she is a very well behaved little doggy.
The Vet always notices that, too.She's doing great, thanks!
Thankyou

If I had my anal glands expressed, I’d be pooped too. No pun intended. 
My vet showed us how to do this at home, but just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

My Vet hasn't showed me how Pappy and I don't think I could do it either...If I had my anal glands expressed, I’d be pooped too. No pun intended.

Same here Pappy, a long time ago on one of our other dogs, the vet showed me how to do it. I could if I absolutely had to, but I don't want to hurt the dog, so I never attempted it on my own. Honestly, I rarely had it done.
I understood that it's not necessary unless the dog is having an anal issue with effects like scooting on the rug, etc. Then they may need it done so the glands don't get impacted. But I think with a good diet, it's rarely needed. My boy is almost 4yrs. old now and never had it done. My old dog had it done maybe 3 times during his whole life.

Smaller breeds are more prone to needing this. My dog has a very good diet and I have to have her glands expressed pretty often. It's nothing that I am lacking in doing. I have done many things and she still needs it done. Once she starts scooting I check the back of her to make sure she doesn't have anything stuck on there and then if she scoots again I have to take her in. Smaller breeds are often seen by Vets for anal gland expression.

Vets are very tiring, our two guys always come home exhausted, But they do love their doctor, and he loves them, he always gets on the floor, and checks them out. They always bring him his coffee large double double, and they always get extra liver treats... They are now eleven and have been going to him since they were 5 weeks old...
Vets are special people! Suzy loves her Vet too or at least she tolerates her!

How come our pets never report any problems sleeping?!
