I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Keep your dogs out of areas where food is made for other people, how gross. Maybe some booties and some underwear to cover it's sexual organs and anus. A pet that is trained not to lick, as people do not do this. Wide range of things.
If I came to your house and watched you prepare food while petting your pet, I'm not eating it.
Best leave your animal at home IMO.
Also, you can never come over to my house.
Designated areas, good compromise.
It's fine... there's alcohol in there.
My dog doesn't use his hands, or paws, when pooping. Contrary to popular belief, dogs and humans aren't the same.
