Lesson #2 See previous post in May entitled "Advice I Wish I Would've Been Given" for Lesson #1 (always have a shovel in your car.)  Lesson #2:  take more poop bags that you think you will need.  There are several reasons for this:

1.  Dogs that run always and I mean always poop.  Sometimes twice.  Must have at least 2 bags.

2.  For this next point, how do I delicately say this?  Messy poop sometimes requires more than 1 bag as I experienced yesterday and luckily I had an extra bag.  I'm not so sure that it was even that the poop was messy, I just made a mess of it.  I'm not sure how I would've continued the run carrying a messy bag.  That's all the detail I'll go into :)
