[nagdu] Relieving issues

[Daryl Marie]

I am relieving Jenny less frequently than I traditionally have.  She has never relieved indoors except down in the basement near the cat box when we first got her, and refuses to do so even when I improvise a pee-pad indoors (as evidenced by her complete unwillingness to relieve on it in airports en route to/from NYC).
This has actually made relieving easier, because it is not a schedule as much as it is when she needs to go.  In the rare event that she needs to go more frequently, she will walk me over to a spot where she can go.
