[nagdu] Relieving issues

[Larry D Keeler]

Well, Pilot taught us to be fair with our dogs. More important than keepping 
them on a schedule, is to give them an opportunity to go before we leave and 
after we come home. My dogs are on a roughly every 3 or 4 hour schedule 
during the day. The puppy goes out more often. However, if I'm going 
somewhere, Holly also goes out before I leave and when I come back.
