Like yours, they were moveable. Mine turned out to be fatty tissue. But the only way to know for sure , is to have it looked at by a vet. Good luck

Some require removal and biopsy, and some don't. Fatty tumors, or lypoma, are common in older dogs. The fact that it's movable is a good sign. To be sure, you should take your dog to the vet. Best of luck!
