Aly, Wanna hear something gross? When Cassie is done scooting around the entire living room she will smell the carpet where she scooted! Grosses me out! The house does not smell like anal gland fluid....yet! That's why I am considering taking her in for the anal gland surgery. That's the most nasty smell and I really don't want that smell all over the carpet! I think if she were more nimble like a normal dog she could reach around and lick her bottom, but she can't reach back there very easily being so short and square I guess in my case that's good, huh? Otherwise she'd scoot, smell the ground, and lick her bottom....does not get more un-lady like then that!
