Perfectly normal. I have two labs. the older one is always "cleaning" the baby. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a brokeback house of labs.

It is normal for dogs to groom one another, even two males. It's not because your dogs are gay. This is especially common with an older dog and a puppy.

The older dog is taking care of the younger dog. They love eachother. Its cute.

LOL It is totally normal... just like cats, the older cat bathes the younger one. Because my female cat, Smokie, loves to bathe the youngest female cat, Patches while Patches is trying to bathe herself.

even though they are neutered they sometimes still feel a sex drive, i have a male dog who is 9 months old and a female dog who is 15 months old, they are neutered and he started humping her as well. your terrier is a year old so he is getting those feelings now and since he has a female around he is going to hump her

It is normal. I have a 3+ female that tries to hump any breed and size of other dog that is around, my dog is spayed.

It is normal the older one can bathe the younger one or/and the younger one can bathe the older one.

I have an older German Shepherd (female) who constantly grooms my younger Golden Retriever (male). He rarely reciprocates.
