I've noticed recently (past few months), that my one dog pees a *lot* slower
than my other dog.

The old guy tends to pee and be done in about 1/4 the time it takes the
young guy to empty his bladder.

They both start actually peeing at the same time, but the young guy's 'flow
rate' doesn't seem to be anything like as high as the old guy's.

He doesn't seem to be in pain or anything like that, and the urine seems to
be fairly clear (ranging in colour from clear to fairly yellow, but not at
all cloudy), it just seems to take him a while to get it all out.

If I'm home, and downstairs, and asks to go out with a relatively high
frequency (~1/hour), but if I'm not there, he can hold it for as long as it
takes. He always pees and comes right back in.

Any ideas? Do you think this is something I should worry about (I know I'm a
bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to my dogs).
