[NAGDU] older dogs

[Tracy Carcione]

I second Becky's suggestion.  My old gal Echo had a similar problem, and I
used a relieving harness on her indoors.  I just had to be aware of when
she'd used it, so I could remove the full bag quickly, before she lay on
it, or got bummed out by having poop follow her around.
If Julie J can't help you, I have heard relieving harnesses are available
from guide-and-service-dogs.com.

Good luck with your old gal.  My Echo lived to be 17, and was in pretty
good health until a few weeks before she passed.
