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

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

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

(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.

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?

Is it okay for a wife who comes home from a date to tell her husband what she did?

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

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

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.

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?
