My little guy (17#) is scooting again, last time was maybe 5 years ago. Watching many videos it looks fairly easy but I don't get the 'massage gently' part. That end is kinda red and swollen, not too bad. I put a hot compress on for a while which he doesn't mind a bit, then do the paper towel thing and nothing comes out. I can clearly feel the 'grapes' in there I just don't know how hard to massage fearing I'll rupture the grapes. :confused: He's quite the trooper, stands right there and lets me do what I want but I'm not about to stick my finger in there. :) Thanks

OK, I've been fighting the urge to brag and show off my new puppy, but I succumbed. Besides I need to get away from my DIY jobs and need a diversion. Here with is Junebug. An Old Scotch Collie breed (you know, the typical Lassie of TV fame, "Timmy in well" :Wink:). Junebug (1st pic) and her sibling brother Magnus (2nd and 3rd pic) resting after a hard session of fighting, biting and chasing each other.
