[nagdu] Relieving frequency

[Janice Toothman]

Nicole,
Destiny sometimes goes out and spends all her time sniffing but not 
relieving herself so I think there are times that she wants to go out 
just for the sake of going out instead of having the need to urinate or 
defecate.
I'm just trying to figure out what is the minimum number of times I 
should take her out.
Janice
