[nagdu] When they gotta GOOOOOOOOOOO!

[minh ha]

I agree with everyone else. One thing I will add is if you know you
are going to be busy and don't really have the opportunity to take her
out, decrease her water allowance for the day so accidents won't
happe. You're super lucky that she held it in for so long! :)
