[nagdu] dogs and mosh pits don't mix

[Mark J. Cadigan]

The concert was fun, thanks. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone in the 
dorm responsible enough to baby-sit the dog. Dorm life is not a bastion of 
responsibility. Furthermore school policy forbids leaving the dog alone in 
the dorm, or asking a student to baby-sit. I don't like that policy, but I 
can't fight every policy I don't like. At least my dog doesn't do anything 
disruptive when left alone, just wines.



I have thought of getting a crate, but just have no room. My dorm is 200 
square feet, and I simply have nowhere to put it.
