[NAGDU] indoor relief areas

[Sherry Gomes]

When I was training with Petunia in 2014, after the first couple days we
could relieve our dogs, on leash, on the patios outside our rooms. Petunia
would not go out there. It was open, with a metal fence, but it was covered,
and I guess she thought it was part of the house, or dorm I mean. I ended up
relieving her in the normal relieving circle for the whole two weeks. So, I
doubt that she would willingly use an internal relieving area.

Krokus and Ben both did well with indoor relief areas, even the bare bones
type.  There were enough pee smells around to get their juices going, and
with a bit of verbal encouragement, they got 'er done.  Much to their, and
my, relief.

No, our time in Atlanta is just an hour.  Both flights plus layover is about
6 hours.  So if he doesn't get to go in Atlanta, he's going to have to hold
it for 6 hours, at least.  Plus add in the time to get in and out of the
airports, luggage and all those details, it could be closer to 7 hours.

He can certainly go that long, but I really think the old boy would be way
more comfortable with a chance to go in Atlanta.
