[nagdu] water intake question

[Debby Phillips]

John, no one else can really help you care for your dog.  She is 
your primary responsibility.  You must take her out several times 
a day, so that she doesn't have accidents in your apartment hall.  
Never, and truly I mean, never leave your home without a bag with 
you to pick up her poop.  Again, this is your responsibility.  I 
will say I have on occasion forgotten to bring a bag, but now 
generally I have several and have been known to wash pants with 
bags I haven't used, in the pockets.  You must be the one to feed 
Mollie.  Not your health care provider, you.  You must be the one 
to brush and comb her.  And you must primarily be the one she 
goes to for affection.  If you can't do that, (and I'm 
encouraging you to keep working on doing so) then that's another 
story.  But Mollie will work best for you if you are her primary 
source for everything.    Debby and Neena
