[nagdu] When they gotta GOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mon Mar 24 03:59:51 UTC 2014

And, I don't give Holly water until we get home. Unless its really hot or 
we've been out for a really long time. I walk a whole lot so I can usually 
find a place to get off the walk and into the woods! This usually works 
well. If she does have to go like rigtht now! I always have poop bags with 
me and just pull of to the side! I always take her out just before we go and 
right after we come back. I have after almost 6 years have only had 2 times 
when I've had accidents. Once, Holly must have not been feeling very well 
and she went in a store. The folks knew me there and although I needed some 
help, we cleaned it up. The second time, i was coming into another store 
when she sat with the idea of pooping on the rug. I took her out the door 
and she did it on the concrete where I picked it up and got rid of it. 
Often, walking stimulates them to go and with mine, she walks a lot! So, I 
limit the water when out, no food or treats until we come home and I make 
sure that I can easily find a good dumping place near whereevver I go. Some 
may think the no food and water thing is a bit much but it works well for 
us. If its not hot and she doesn't have to walk for miles she just drinks a 
pond full when we come home. And eats a lot as well.
