[nagdu] Relieving issues

Thu Jan 8 22:22:50 UTC 2015

Holly goes out at 6 P.M. and 9 P.M. And, sometimes later if the puppy needs 
to go. She goes out at 9 A.M. snt every 3 hours or so during the day. Its 
not hard and fast though. Sometimes if its raining or really cold, one or 
mor might be missed but the puppy is the only one who notices.
