[nagdu] Free running (was: Pickup The Poop)

[Lisa]

Doesn't everybody let their dog free run from time to time? We do it exactly 
as you in Sweden. Taylor loves to get back to me and be praised like crazy 
then. And of course we don't do it across the highway or anything but 
actually, I don't think I have to mention this.
