Abstract
This invention is to be used primarily in the reception and disposal of urination from animals within a set area. It is comprised of a base tray, a vertical, hollow cylinder and absorbent pads designed and crafted to securely cover the exterior of the cylinder and tray. The absorbent pads are contained within the hollow cylinder and removed through an opening at the top of the cylinder. The vertical aspect of the invention attracts animals to urinate as per their instinct similar to an animal urinating on a bush or fire hydrant. The soiled absorbent pad is removed and another clean pad will take its place after being removed from the interior of the cylinder through the top opening in the cylinder.
