And you thought your day was bad

I took Lillian to the vet. I thought she caught some dog STD from Zeke, but she only needed her anal glands expressed. Her face was not happy.
The vet found a cracked tooth too. So she goes under on next Monday.

I think it's more likely that ZEKE would be catching the STD from LILY. With all those dogs in your neighborhood...

Your dog goes to the dog park. Lillian does not fraternize.

i didn't even realize that dogs had anal glands that might require expression.

Did I actually mention that my cat needed anal gland expression while I was over there? I think maybe I got distracted by something, but that's what I was /going/ to hypothesize was up with Lillian. Glad it was minor (aside from the tooth) - it's nice to hear good medical news now and then!

That's not what the chocolate labs all say.

Actually, we haven't been to a dog park in about a year. When I moved to this place it became too inconvenient, and I'd rather walk him anyway so I get some exercise too. I let him run around the golf course instead. =)

Oh yes. Most of the time dogs can take care of it themselves--if you ever see your dog scootching ass-down across the grass, that's usually what's going on.

reason # n+1 that i'm a cat person (reasons 1-n are mostly related to me being lazy)

Oh cats have this problem too. See ziz below.

John's brother does his dogs. I think I'll start paying him in bike parts to do my dogs too. He wants to start a business called, "Express Expressions."
(he's kidding)

Express Expressions...

sounds like a greeting-card delivery service. Hm. You could offer both at once, I suppose...
