Remember back in the Spring when Blossom pulled those amazing contortions and bronco bucking displays about having mineral oil applied between her teats? 
....Tonight's update is that over the summer she's changed her opinion ~ a LOT. More like a 180*
She's been reaching back, scratching at her stifles, so I double checked a night or two ago, and again, some small gunk built up between her teats. This time it was a small enough amount that I didn't bother with the mineral oil, but just rubbed a bit of it away.
Tonight she was doing the same, only when I went to reach back, she stopped with the itching, all but drove my hand back there, and I scratched the rest of the gunk out for her. LOL, it was hilarious to watch her 'camel' expressions! And boy, she suddenly decided not only did that whole side need rubbed and itched, but the other side as well. ;D
She's gone from a 'don't you dare' to 'no, no rub over a little more to the left' She was a little put out when I told her enough was enough tonight. She's pretty darned clean back there now

I will never forget AlisonDuke's boy reversing himself up for a decent scratchie session. I had no worries whatsoever about what the boy was intending to do, and I will never forget that big bum reversing ~ I kept hearing the lorry backup beep in my head the whole time. ;D What a memory!
