Twice today I've caught Charlie licking at his pee pad where he just peed. I know some dogs eat poop, but has anyone encountered this particular behavior?

Yes...our 12 year old picture of amazing health standard does that...

my concern would be something like diabetes or a urinary tract infection where he was excreting glucose in his urine (so the taste is appealing), but if Zandra has a perfectly healthy dog doing it, I don't thing you need to panic :) Maybe just keep an eye out and if he keeps doing it, mention it to the vet. Nothing else strange going on (like frequent urination, odd smell or color, signs of blood, licking at his "parts" etc.)?
NEVER heard of that one!!! Hmmmmm....

Mischeif is 12 so we have a check up and complete blood panel done every 6 months so I really do know she is healthy! It really freaks the vet out that is so healthy. She doesn't even have enough grey hair for you to notice unless you are really looking for it.
My :angel7: Dodger use to lick up urine from the females. I think they are trying to clean up the mess. :vomit:
