Pet Pickup Bags

Truth be known I am a big time procrastinator. When comes to Pooh bags I often don't get a new pack until I am on the very last one. Yesterday I had to make a quick trip to Publics so that Kassa wouldn't become a pariah in the neighborhood. Ok fair enough. This morning I pull out a couple of these bags. They are blue and scented not black like my normal ones. Ok no problem. Probably why they cost a bit more. But why oh why oh why do they make them semi transparent. Is the manufacturer worried about the contents being correctly identified since they took away the smell? I mean, its bad enough that I have to haul this stuff around for 45 min, but do I really have to show off the contents to all my neighbors as I walk. Maybe its to avoid questions on how Kassa is doing or to allow people to offer helpful suggestions. "Hmm I see your dog is a bit runny today, might want to firm up his diet." Or "That's quite the haul you have there. You might be feeding him a bit much." Or "No sweeety you can't pet that dog. You see that bag he is carrying. Thats Poooh!" Transparency is not always a good thing. Remember whether used in pet pickup bags or in government the problem is when you walk around people will see the pooh!

LOL! That is so funny! I've often been a bit embarrassed about holding a transparent Bag-O-Pooh on our walks.
