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

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?

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

Vet check time!

14,000-year-old mummified 'puppies' weren't dogs at all, new research shows - KSL News

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

(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.

Get thee to a vet with a description of specific behaviors like:

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

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.

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