Shit...literally

Even if you have a pinched nerve in your back that is forcing you to lay still on the couch or in bed with an ice pack on one specific spot on your back while taking enough ibuprofen to knock out an elephant...even if you are dealing with that?  You should let your dog out when she scratches at the door.  You shouldn't say to the dog, "You were just out 20 minutes ago.  There is no possible way you need to go out again."  That is not advised.  Why?  Because when you don't get up and risk substantial nauseating pain, the dog delicately places 8 different piles of diarrhea on the carpet in your son's playroom.
