Help needed...

Hilton is 6 month old male pure bread yorkie. He will be neutured next month. He is partially house trained but not completely yet.

The following has happened on 2 separate instances, 11 days apart. Very mysterious...

1. Wife and I let him out to go pee, then put him in his kennel (small kennel, just big enough for him to turn around, etc). We then go out to eat.

2. Arrive home 45 minuutes later.

3. Open up the kennel and Hilton's paws, beard, etc are SOAKED. We smell him, it does not smell like pee. The bottom of kennel is wet, but not as much as him. We take a paper towel to it, it's clear, and does not smell like pee.

4. He is shaking until we dry him off. His paws, etc aren't just wet. Its soaked.

This has happened twice and we have no idea what's going on. He doesn't have water in his kennel or food. We leave a chew toy in their sometimes but not always. Could he possibly lick himself this wet? He licks quite a bit (pillows, etc), especially when bored in the morning in bed.

He drinks water (we leave some out at all times) but doesn't drink too much we don't think.

ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS OR HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU??? Any ideas would be appreciated. We're pretty perplexed!

Thanks so much,

Adam and Liz in Iowa
