i don't always when she pees, but i always get her when she poops, i think the licking thing is pretty normal, if i don't wipe Sadie she licks it too, i'm more than ok with it, that saves me a wipey...lol someone has to clean it!?
i always wipe when she's going to be coming into our bed, but otherwise, for just pee, i let her get it herself and she's good at keeping herself clean so far...
yesterday i had to pull some poo out of her butt hair, it needs a trim, i might be asking my cousin to open shop on Sunday just for me....
(btw, do they scoot when they have poo stuck just the same as when they have their anal sacs full) i hope i solved the scoot problem there, Mike said she scooted and a little brown came out, maybe that's what was caught in her butt hair or maybe she did release a little anal fluid.
the groomer won't take such a young pup for good reason, so she might go see Robin!!
