If I had a dollar for every time Bella goes out each day I could pay off my mortgage in no time. Since we have a fenced in yard it is no problem really. She asks to go out mainly to scope out the smells in the yard (has to see who or what has been around) or to chase off the threatening squirrels. Sometimes she will ask to go out within ten minutes of her last 'outing.' These are obviously not all potty breaks because when we are away at work she 'holds it' quite well. She is just an outdoorsy type gal I guess.
