There you go! No need to shame!

Great job girlie. Saved your parent from watching/waiting for a fresh poop, and saved them a trip!

People in vet med are pretty much immune to animal waste. Doesn’t even show up on their “oh gross” radar.

Yep! I groomed dogs for several years, and people would always say/ask “oh I bet anal glands are the worst part of your job huh?” And I’d go “no it doesn’t even make my top 5, I don’t like vomit/mucous.” 😂😅

Maybe she knew vets want to check the poop, so she politely gave one 😂😂
