[nagdu] Saving your grass

My solution is to have the dog go in the street most of the time.  Ben
seems to enjoy peeing on something, and the curb suits him fine.  Then I
pour water where he's gone, if it starts to get stinky.
Otherwise, I try to take the dogs where it won't be so problematic, like a
weed patch by some bushes.

My brother took out some of his grass and put in gravel, and takes the dog
there.

This spring, I did hear commercials for a Scotts grass seed specially
formulated for areas where dogs go.  You could ask at your local hardware
store, or wherever you get grass seed.
HTH.
