Yes, I used to grumble about all the licking down there, not anymore :) My little girl always cleans herself too, I guess I just have to worry about wiping those beards........

Thats the problem Cheech hardly ever does that!!!

Guinness is a fanatic about cleaning himself after he goes. The minute he finishes he's licking which is tricky standing up. He looks like a contortionist. I just want him to hurry up and come in because it's so darn cold out there right now. But no, he'll stand there and lick. I thought he had some sort of OCD, but apparently it's a good thing.

Oh you are so lucky ,I wish Cheech was better at cleaning himself! I am the one cleaning him each time.I guess this is how it will always be!

Smegma is produced by all mammals and consists primarily of skin cell that have been shed. I think it is the sticky stuff you describe since smegma is thick and cheeselike.The yellow spots on the floor might just be urine.
