One of the many problems with our one and only dog Barney, besides biting everyone, wanting to go out at 230 every morning and taking a dump in the dinning room every other day, was also a medical problem. And that problem, was that we had to go to the vet and have his anal glands expressed. (This problem is quite uncomfortable for Barney and you could always tell when this problem was happening, because he would *scoot across our very expensive rug, and usually in front of company.) I am now putting on my veterinarian hat with this medical explanation of the problem. There are two glands at Barneys rectum that secretes a fluid that helps to express the poop out of the shoot. I hope you can understand that explanation. Well any who Barney knew he was heading for the vets and did not like it. He would spend the whole time there with his tail between his legs. It was not a good time for him. The picture above is a recreation of our experience with Barney getting him in to see the vet.
*A form of behavior limited largely to dogs. Sliding along on the ground while sitting on the perineal area and with the hindlimbs extended forwards. Caused usually by irritation in the perineal area, chiefly anal sac irritation.

Leave it to you to call things as you see them. No wonder you never had a career in politics.
(Why do you take the dog to the vet rather then taking him to a canine proctologist?)
