Is it normal for a neutered male dog to have lumps under his tail?

Question

Does a male dog have two 'lumps' or what feels like two balls, just under the tail, anus area? He's been neutered, and I've only had one other male dog, I don't recall feeling ball-like lumps when I rubbed his tummy. Can't really see it with all the fur, just felt it. Is that normal? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | neutered | 10 months and 27 days old | 5 lbs

The only things that come to mind are: dogs do have a portion of the penis that can engorge and it will feel and look like two testicles. It is located about mid shaft of the penis. Otherwise the anal glands can sometimes be palpated and they are right under the anus. They do have hip bones and maybe you are feeling those? I recommend to take a photo or take Charming into the vet to get your question answered. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
