[nagdu] Advice Requested

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I live in the city. No grass for blocks, unless you count the type smoked by 
the students. It is a designated area. It's the same spot the other service 
dogs go. However, the other dog's waist is a solid pellet the size of a role 
of quarters, while my dog leaves a mountain the size of a dinner plate.



This area is very porous. It's a sort of pavement leading to cobblestones.
