My dog Mitch Hedberg constantly (accidentally?) pees on his own leg and then stops to lick it off. I’m not sure what’s worse, that he licks it off, or if he didn’t at all. Should I be glad he cleans up after himself?

Quite a few smaller male dogs will accidentally pee on their front legs, my JoJo among them. Fortunately, he only does it once in a while. He also lets us clean him up.
Mitch takes the nasty up a notch with licking it off himself 😀 I don’t think there’s any harm in it, especially if he’s getting all the clean drinking water he wants. If you’re worried, ask your vet.

I think the original Mitch would have found humor in this!

Wasn’t he great – I miss him! I agree, he would’ve been amused for sure.
And his little namesake here is adorable.

Everyday! My Boston terrier does the same. He always seems miffed after her pees on himself- like, “why the heck are my feet wet! Jeez!”
