Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

Get thee to a vet with a description of specific behaviors like:

I have no idea what behaviors you think are indicative a very human mental state, but guess it has something to do with licking/chewing?

(3) There is a small lump near my dog’s anus and he chews on it several times a day to the point that the fur is gone.

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

Licking and chewing are what a dog does when something doesn’t feel right - it itches, it’s in pain, its swollen - or when they are very anxious - canine cognitive decline, loss of a sense like sight or hearing, generalized pain in some other part of the body.

Vet check time!

(2) My dog is licking her vagina whenever she is sitting or laying down but I haven’t noticed any discharge.

What do you think of the Quora group "It's Ok to Be White" for people who are proud of being white?

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

(1) My dog has licked her back left foot raw and only that foot.
