in the toilet paper aisle

Picked up my usual 12 pack

Woman near me said "Oh my, they make toilet paper for dogs!"

What?

She left, laughing. I looked at the "doggie paper"........ it was a packet of the wet flushable ones, with a picture of a labrador on it. :-D

Maybe she couldn't read?

Um I have to say there are times that I have to get out a wet wipe to clean George's behind after he has done his business - rather that than him sitting on the floor with a dirty bum :-P

Did you know Morrisons own brand is advertised in the stores as being made from "recycled paper".

Always makes me smile when I see it, :-)

Hi Liz as his Vet says he just keeps going and going - even the vet is surprised that he (George the dog) is still alive and kicking, I think it is the walks we have and still do every day - Mcihelle

Yes Scozz I have known for a long time I am the one getting taken for the walk.

A toilet bag would be out of the question as trying to carry anything while I am walking George is a real pain, as I have to often change the hand that is holding the leash as George doesn't believe one should walk in a straight line and where possible we circle around the human. Everything goes into pockets, doggy doo bags, dog and cat treats (we have a number of places to call in where George has canine and feline friends), cell phone, house keys, wet wipes (travel pack) & torch in the winter time. :-)
