If she tries urinating and nothing comes out then i'd be worried about a UTI. If she is just licking herself a lot and she is 6 months old, i'd probably be leaning towards her coming in heat. Is she swollen?

I would just keep an eye on her when she tries urinating. If you see her try to urinate often and nothing coming out, then I would definitely assume a UTI. If not, i'm sure she is probably just coming into heat. Also, make sure that there is no blood in her urine, that could also be a sign of stones, which also could be very painful as you probably know.

I will monitor her more when I get home. I'm at work right now. I just called to check on her......my mom takes her out during the day while I'm at work. One of the benefits of owning a two family home with family . She said she seems fine and no straining to urinate. Sometimes her urine has been dark yellow but she doesn't drink a whole lot of water either. Strange to me....I've never seen a dog not drink to much. Now that all the snow is almost gone out my yard it will be hard to tell the color of her urine.

I wouldn't worry too much about her urine sometimes being dark yellow. Alot of my dogs urine is dark yellow when they don't drink alot of water. Just like people, if I don't drink water all day long, my urine would be dark yellow too lol. My dogs also don't drink much water because they eat RAW. RAW has a very high content of water/moisture, therefore drinking a lot of water is not needed. I'd just keep an eye on her and if you notice her do it again and there is no swelling or signs of her coming into heat, take a urine sample to your Vet and have them do a urinalysis just to be safe.
