When my RB dog, Ted E. Bear was diagnosed with diabetes I had seen no signs. I wasn't paying any attention to his drinking habits or how often he went outside. With three other dogs and a doggy door, it wasn't something I watched.

It wasn't until he wet the bed at night that I took him to the vet.

Bella drinks a lot just before dinner. At least a pint of water while I'm putting together the dinners. She's checked out fine.

The vet told me that when they lose some weight, they start to play more and need more water. Maybe that's what's happening to Josie.
