I brought Fred in to the vet last month because he was pooping and I was trying to teach him not to poop but he got startled and stoppped midway! His poop was hanging from his butt and stuck to his hair so the vet cleaned him up, shaved his butt and said he was okay. It was the funniest thing for a couple days and then it looked so cute. When he walked, his toosh was so bare and it kept him soooo much cleaner! It's growing out again though so we're about to go shave it again this weekend at the groomers.
