in a pickle... with no poop bags 💩


Question, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] -

Ever found yourself in this pickle? You're out walking with your dog, they do their business, and you reach for a poop bag only to discover... EMPTY ROLL! 😳

Talk about a moment of panic!

This happened in classic fashion at the beach last year. Burt decided to poop right as the tide was coming in, and I realized my bag dispenser on the leash was empty!

I sprinted up the dunes to the car for a bag, and by the time I returned... yep, the tide had swept in and Burt's poop was floating away into the ocean. 🌊 Oops!

Over the years, I've had to MacGyver my way through these crappy situations with whatever I could find:

  • A pizza box lid I spotted in someone's recycling
  • The bag from someone's newspaper (sorry neighbor, but I figured this is better than leaving dog poop on your lawn!)
  • An empty chip bag I found in my car
  • A handful of leaves (not my proudest moment)

The worst alternative? A plastic sandwich bag! WHY is dog poop somehow 1000x grosser when you can see it through a clear bag?

So I'm curious...

What's the strangest thing you've used to pick up dog poop in an emergency?

Hit reply and let me know your creative solutions! I promise not to judge... we've all been there 💩💩💩

By the way, I've been on a years-long quest to find the best eco-friendly poop bags and these are IT! All winter, I was able to open the bags WITH MITTENS ON.

Do you know how amazing that is?!

Most bags I can barely open with my bare fingers (and who wants to lick their finger right before picking up warm poop? Not me!).

Anyhow, these awesome poop bags are from Greenline Pet Supply. Seriously, a game-changer!

I talked to the owner, Jennifer, for an hour on zoom yesterday - she's awesome!! - and she set up code WWR10 to give you guys 10% off your order.

Good to know: you won't find Jennifer's bags on Chewy or Amazon because she's all about supporting small businesses. Find 'em local or order from her site 😉

P.S. What other pickles have your dogs gotten you into? I'm collecting stories for a book idea I've been thinking about... maybe I'll work on writing it this Summer!
